Novluno

The Novluno project is currently active in reverse-engineering of the data files of the game "Redmoon Online" and creating a modern client to run the with the original files.

File Parsers

The folder core_compat contains a rust crate to help with parsing of the original file formats. The layout of some of the formats are not 100% correct but should be close enough for a useful result. Any help in this area is appreciated.

File types than can be successfully parsed:

• List files (*.lst)
• Sprite files (*.rle)
• Data files (*.rmd)
• Map files (*.rmm)
• Info files (*.rmi)

Remaining file types which need parsers:

• Sound files (*.rms)
• Midi file (*.mid)

Required External Files

The project expects the original data files of the game to be in the ./data directory. The data files which the parsers are based upon come from verson 3.9 of the game. If any of these parsers don't work with a specific file please file an issue; I have noticed that there are some file which advertise the wrong format header.

Notes

• The game files are not supplied with this project!
• You may have to 'normalize' the filenames of some of the data files by hand, to the lower/uppercase standard of the rest of the files of that type.
• At the moment, the data files are required to run the tests in this project!
