This is the official version 0.0.4 of xoreos-tools, together with xoreos, nicknamed "Chodo".

A collection of tools to help with the reverse-engineering of BioWare's Aurora engine games. xoreos-tools is part of the xoreos project; please see the xoreos website and its GitHub repositories for details.

This release of the xoreos-tools package features two new tools: fixpremiumgff and ncsdis.

The first tool, fixpremiumgff, can restore the deliberately broken GFF files found in the BioWare premium modules for Neverwinter Nights. The resulting GFF files can then be edited as normal.

The second tool, ncsdis, is a disassembler for the stack-based bytecode of BioWare's NWScript scripting language. It supports the scripts of all games targeted by xoreos and can disassemble them into a full assembly listing. It can also produce a control flow graph in the DOT description language, which can then be plotted into an image by using the dot tools from the
GraphViz suite.

Moreover, this release includes a lot of user-invisible code documentation and quality fixes.

The tools included here are licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 3 or (at your option) any later version.

Please note that these tools are all command line tools, without any GUI whatsoever.
