Features
GALextract.exe requires a 360K disk image, its name specified as a command-line argument; all known versions of the game should be supported. If specifically the gnome/beanstalk messages are corrupt, then your disk image is the badly-cracked version of the game that is floating around the internet.
Requirements
Version History
GALtools-20161023-2 -- GALsnd2vgm converts the sound resources to the .VGM format, which can be played back by many sound players with the right plugin. I have made sure that all tracks that should loop do loop properly. The syntax is GALsnd2vgm infile outfile ["English track title"] ["Japanese track title"]. The track titles are optional. If at least an English track title was given and a GD3.INF file is found in the present directory, then the generated .VGM files will each have a GD3 tag as well. GALsnd2vgm_all.cmd does this already.
GALtools-20161104 -- GALdecompile: - Corrected the control flow regarding "else" statements. - Action command definitions as well as variable and object names are now taken from a GAMEDEFS text file which %includes SYSDEFS. That will allow any user to adjust the output for different game versions, and contribute the meaning of the unknown action commands without having to recompile GALdecompile. GAMEDEFS.CGA-1984-08 is the definition file for the August 1984 PC CGA version, which must be renamed to GAMEDEFS to be used by GALdecompile.GALextract: - Now adds the proper two-byte header to GAL sound files. GALsnd2vgm modified to account for that. - Now extracts the WORDS.BIN file from the disk image.
