I want to decode the xml.e file for night of Azure 2. Can you add seed of night of Azure 2?

Let me see what I can do...

Well, if NOA2 was anything like the other Gust games, then adding the following to the gust_enc.json would work:

        {
            "id": "NOA2",
            "name": "Nights of Azure 2",
            "main": [
                0x728f,
                0xc979,
                0x6d73
            ],
            "table": [
                0xa9bb,
                0x892d,
                0x8939
            ],
            "length": [
                0x1f,
                0x1d,
                0x17
            ],
            "fence": 0x1352
        },

However, it looks like Gust added some extra calls (the bit scrambler seems to be called a few more times compared to the other games) and I just don't think I'm gonna bother trying to figure out that one.

If someone feels like investing their time and send a patch to add NOA2 support to gust_enc, I'll happily apply it. Otherwise, sorry, but it's very unlikely that I'll ever have spare time to spend on this.

Closing this issue.

Actually, now that I also looked at the Night Of Azure executable (which is less of a mess than the NOA2 one), here is what you need in your gust_enc.json for NOA/NOA2:

        {
            "id": "NOA",
            "name": "Nights of Azure / Nights of Azure 2",
            "main": [
                0x6d73,
                0xc979,
                0x728f
            ],
            "table": [
                0xa9bb,
                0x892d,
                0x8939
            ],
            "length": [
                0x1f,
                0x1d,
                0x17
            ],
            "fence": 0x1352
        },

My seeds were correct, it's just the flow of execution that was wrong...

I'll add this to the next release.

This should work with newly release 1.5 version of the tools. Enjoy!
