Descrambler file mask support and UTF16 by default #3

Closed UserUnknownFactor closed 3 years ago

UserUnknownFactor commented 4 years ago

Added mask file support. Now it is possible to specify *.ks instead of manually providing each name or running it from a batch script. UTF16LE is now used as file encoding. It behaves nicely with Kirikiri while UTF8 and original Shift_JIS sometimes crash games. Added tool to convert all files to this encoding even if they originally unscrambled.

ps: Please squash commits into one if you decide to merge. I've added too many commits while using only Github's editor.

Thank you for your contribution.

Rather than adding custom file mask support to KirikiriDescrambler, I ended up adding general folder support with a hardcoded list of extensions.

The conversion error in #2 happened not because Kirikiri has trouble with SJIS and UTF8, but because the KirikiriUnencryptedArchive TPM wasn't doing its job for that particular game. As a result, the game "decrypted" the unencrypted scripts, effectively making them unreadable. Using a different encoding wouldn't have fixed this. As such, I extended the TPM and kept the descrambler at UTF8.
