at least this is a compression algorithm that isn't too complicated: it's simple RLE.

0xFF is a marker, and is followed by a byte of repeat count(-1) and a byte of value.

although technically this is the second time I hacked this compression, I did figure this out already back in, like, 2013?

this game uses a ton of hardcoded offsets into data files. I wonder if this was done with linker nonsense or if they had to be manually hardcoded in.

the latter is frighteningly possible

@foone@digipres.club that's good, I guess...
