Godot RE Tools

This software in a pre-alpha stage and is not suitable for use in production.

Introduction

This module includes following tools:

• PCK archive explorer / tester / extractor / creator.
• GDScript batch "compiler" / "decompiler".
• Resource text <-> binary batch converter.
• Full project recovery (CLI-only)

Full project recovery performs the following:

• Decompiles all GDScript scripts
• Recovers the original project file
• Converts all resources back to their original import formats
• Does not currently support converting models and ADPCM wavs to their original format

This module has support for decompiling Godot 4.x, 3.x, and 2.x projects.

Usage

• To perform full project recovery from the command line:

gdre_tools --recover=game.pck

Optional arguments: ---output-dir=<out_dir> : Output directory, defaults to <NAME>_extracted, or the project directory if one is specified ---key=<key> : The Key to use if PAK/EXE is encrypted (hex string)

Use the same Godot tools version that the original game was compiled in to edit the project. In order to detect this, see To detect Godot version

• All other module functions (excepting for full project recovery) are accessible via RE Tools menu.
• Decompilers additionally available as GDScriptDecomp_{commit_hash} GDScript classes.

	var decomp = GDScriptDecomp_{commit_hash}.new()

	decomp.decompile_byte_code(path)
	# or
	decomp.decompile_byte_code_encrypted(path, key)

	var source = decomp.get_script_text()

Requirements

Godot 4.0 (master branch) @ commit https://github.com/godotengine/godot/commit/4366f8bcd455714a5cd29374726d83b674ff0430

• Support for building on 3.x has been dropped and no new features are being pushed.

GDScript decompiler compatibility

Supported bytecode versions

To decompile GDScript, exact engine version that was used to compile it, should be specified.

To detect Godot version

Run ./{executable_name} --version > version.txt.

Version strings have following formats:

• Official releases: {major}.{minor}.{rev}.stable.official
• Development builds:{major}.{minor}.{rev}.{build_type}.{commit_hash}

To detect GDScript version

Copy executable to the helpers folder. Run ./{executable_name} -s detect_bytecode_ver.gd --path ..

Usage

This software can be used either as a standalone executable or as a Godot module.

Usage as a standalone executable

Go the the releases and download the latest zip file for your operating system from the assets.

Usage as a Godot module
