Usage

./gsc-tool.exe <mode> <game> <system> <path>

mode: asm, disasm, comp, decomp, parse

• note: zonetool files (.cgsc, .cgsc.stack) use: zasm, zdisasm, zcomp, zdecomp modes

game: iw5, iw6, iw7, iw8, iw9, s1, s2, s4, h1, h2, t6 t7 t8 t9

system: pc, ps3, ps4, ps5, xb2 (360), xb3 (One), xb4 (Series X|S), wiiu

path: file or directory (recursive process all files inside the directory)

Example: ./gsc-tool.exe comp iw5 pc ./data/iw5/my_fancy_script.gsc

Mode	Description	Output
asm	assemble a file.gscasm	file.gscbin
disasm	dissasemble a file.gscbin	file.gscasm
comp	compile a file.gsc	file.gscbin
decomp	decompile a file.gscbin	file.gsc
parse	parse a file.gsc	file.gsc

File Format

If you need to extract scripts from fastfiles or game memory, use Zonetool or Jekyll.

• gsc-tool .gscbin format is a serialized ScriptFile struct:
  name: null-terminated string
  compressedLen: 4 byte uint
  len: 4 byte uint
  bytecodeLen: 4 byte uint
  buffer: byte array[compressedLen]
  bytecode: byte array[bytecodeLen]
  

note: for PS3 & Xbox 360 .gscbin files (compressedLen, len, bytecodeLen) are saved as little-endian!!

• zonetool (IW5) format made of bytecode file .cgsc and decompressed stack buffer .cgsc.stack.

• treyarch (T6) format is a single buffer with gscobj data .gsc or .csc.

Build

• install premake5 on your system PATH
• clone this repository
• update the submodules git submodule update --init --recursive
• run prebuild script premake5 vs2022 (windows) or premake5 gmake2 (linux/macos)
