A command line tool to de- and recompile .xq and .xs files from various 3DS games by Level5 and .cq, .lb, and .gds files from various NDS games by Level5.
It supports all known format specifications.
Various options have to be set to properly use the command line tool.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -h | Shows a help text explaining all the options listed here and examples on how to use use them. |
| -o | The operation to execute. Has to be followed by either:d to decompress a scripte to extract a script to human readable codec to create a scripot from human readable code |
| -t | The type of .xq, .cq, .lb, or .gds file to process. Is only necessary for operation c. Has to be followed by either:xq32xseqxscrgss1gsd1gds |
| -f | The file or directory to execute the operation on. |
In the file methodMapping.json instruction types, that are not known by the program (see "Instructions" in the script specification), can be mapped to a human readable name.
Since those unknown instructions are normally game specific logic, they have to be figured out by the user and added to the mapping for themselves.
If an unknown instruction type has no corresponding mapping, its name will be set to subXXX, where XXX is the instruction type.
This mapping is currently not used for GDS scripts.
Scripts can call methods from within themselves and other scripts currently loaded in the engine. Normally, those calls happen via the CRC32-B or CRC16-X25 of the function name to invoke them.
To resolve those checksums back into human readable names, reference scripts can be placed in the folder reference next to the command line tool.
It is recommended to put every script of a game in the references to have the highest probability of properly resolving all checksums.
However, there is no guarantee that a checksum will be resolved.
Only scripts of the same type as the processed script will be used for reference.
To extract a script to human readable code:
XtractQuery.exe -o e -f Path/To/File.xq
To create a XQ32 script from human readable code:
XtractQuery.exe -o c -t xq32 -f Path/To/File.txt
To decompress the tables in a script (see "Compression" in format specification):
XtractQuery.exe -o d -f Path/To/File.xq
