u32 count at 0x14, then fixed 60-byte entries of [name | 4 flag words | pivotX | pivotY | 0]. The table lists both .t32 sprites and .rat records, so it is the screen's element list. Verified: for all 7 .t32 entries in the tutorial pause bundle the declared pivot is exactly half the decoded texture's dimensions, 7/7 with no mismatch. That also settles what the pair at 0x50/0x54 of a .rat record is — a .rat simply opens with one of these declarations. The language split is visible inside one bundle: the English build's .t32 declarations carry correct English pivots while its .rat declarations carry Japanese-derived ones, so the sprite table is regenerated per language and the layout layer is inherited from the Japanese master. Adds tools/re-capture/ratc_decls.py (parse the table, check pivots against the decoded textures). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Runtime-capture harness (sylph-re container)
Screenshot-driven scripts for reading the running retail game's menus under Xenia
Canary + lavapipe, headless. They assume the container helpers screenshot,
vgamepad, pad are on $PATH and HOME=/sylph-home/re.
| Script | What it does |
|---|---|
skip_intro.sh |
Boot → main menu, unattended. Taps A only while the intro movie is actually playing (frame-to-frame RMSE), then once at the PRESS Ⓐ BUTTON title. Static logo screens are left alone, so a stray tap can never land on NEW GAME. |
wait_title.sh |
Older variant: wait for the title (green Ⓐ glyph at px 625,618) and tap A. Superseded by skip_intro.sh. |
step.sh |
One Arsenal navigation step (down/up/next/prev/none) + a compact capture: weapon list stacked over the DATA SHEET. |
sweep.sh |
Walk a whole weapon-type list, capturing only rows that show a DATA SHEET — locked rows (a "Conditions to Develop" panel) are detected by the brightness of the Range Class label box and skipped. |
type.sh |
Change weapon-type tab N times (RB) and report the header strip. |
hp.sh / cyc.sh |
Hangar hard-point carousel: cyc.sh steps it (d-pad down, not left/right) and captures the Name + DATA SHEET. |
Input timing under lavapipe: the game polls input at its own low frame rate, so a 60 ms d-pad tap is dropped roughly half the time. 200 ms is reliable; 300 ms starts to auto-repeat (two rows per press).
