KIF Database Structure

FelineSystem2 implements a custom database of the game's KIF archives and assets, stored as a binary file.

Archive Table

Data Type	Value	Description
char[len]	ArchiveName	NULL-terminated filename of the KIF archive
uint32	EntryCount	Number of entries in archive
unsigned char	IsEncrypted	0x01 if archive is encrypted, 0x00 otherwise
byte[4]	FileKey	Blowfish key for decrypting entries (Only exists if IsEncrypted is 0x01)
0x00	TableEnd	Signifies end of table

Archive Item Entry

Data Type	Value	Description
char[len]	FileName	NULL-terminated deobfuscated filename
uint32	Offset	The offset to the entry's data
uint32	Length	The length of the entry's data

Notes

Parser

• If statements must contain a whitespace after the closing parenthesis of the condition
• Operators follow C-Style left-to-right precedence and associativity
• Integers are the only data type that exist
• Variable names can only be integers
• Variable names can be dynamically evaluated
