It wasted lot of my time but I did it.
It's a nested format but it's quite chaotic or probably I had to parse it differently, anyway it works
I know that the size of the extracted files is smaller than the archive but I have performed a debugging of the script and all the 0x44ea entries have been read... so I assume it's ok.
The filenames are obfuscated so I opted for a work-around:

Wow. You are outstanding at what you do, is all I can say. Thanks :) I appreciate it a lot. Oh, and the game uses LUA scripts, it seems, and they are easily editable in Notepad ++.

Is it still possible to receive the file? It doesn’t seem to work anymore (the link). If not, it’s fine of course but I would like to know the method for getting the bin file (possible tools or software) since I’m not too experienced in this sort of thing. Thank you!
