AzureFlare

AzureFlare is a drop in DLL mod for the official Japanese PSOBB client to allow opening the game without the need of modifying the PsoBB.exe executable.

What it can do?

At the time of writing this README:

• Server redirection for US, JP, Ep4 and CN modes respectively
• GameGuard bypass (Both packed and unpacked EXE)
• Allow changing the language of the game so it can load the US localization
• Allow writing in game chat without the need of installing a Japanese IME
• Enabling or disabling Episode 4 mode

What it won't do?

Anything that isn't making the game work on systems and features to make it work on non Japanese systems.

To do

• You tell me! Please open an issue for your requests.

Why AzureFlare?

I looked for synonyms of Blue and Burst repectively and took 2 at random.

Installation

Drop wsock32.dll and psobb.cfg in your game folder, where PsoBB.exe is in.

Building

1. Install MSYS2 or install the MinGW packages for building x86 apps from your distro's package manager.
2. Install Premake anywhere accessible by your PATH.
3. Inside the AzureFlare folder, generate the Makefiles using the premake5 gmake command.
4. Inside the newly generated build folder, you can just make to get a working build. To build without debug features, you can add config=release_x86 to the make command.
