Hi all,
So, "Max White" and I both came up with the same idea a little while ago. (See this thread:
His version had better indenting, but my version had image links. I've shamelessly ripped off some of his better indenting (though it's still not perfect) plus made a bunch of other changes.
Attached you'll find a zipped HTML file which is the output of my program. Just unzip it and place it in your Big Brother game folder.The HTML expects there to be an "Images" sub-folder, which is the standard game folder and includes the unencrypted "emotion" graphics. It also expects there to be a "decryptedImages" sub-folder, which you have to generate using the BBImageTools_v0.3.1.1 program. This folder then contains all the other needed graphics in an unencrypted form.
Alternatively, download the unencryted graphics from here:
With the v0.13.0.007 release the images are already decrypted, so the HTML looks for all images in teh default Images sub-folder.
The "start" file is just named FormattedDialog.html. This contains a Table of Contents and the text of the "Possibilities". Clicking on the links will open the correct file for the "Game Sequence". I've included a drop-down and small bit of javascript that allows you to change the size of the big images for better scrolling.
I'd love whatever feedback you have and any suggestions for improvements. When things have settled down a bit with the code I plan to release it on GitHub or somewhere. (I'm writing a program I've called "VN2EB - Visual Novel 2 E-Book", which will eventually handle multiple sources - so far it's just "Big Brother" and "A Soldier's Life".)
Future Improvements:
Cheers,

Future Improvements:
- Improve navigation from a sub-file back to the Table of Contents, move Back and Forward in total list, etc. etc.
- Include reading in any MOD.TXT file and put its contents in the output too.
- Improve the vertical bar display that joins "multiple choices/branches" to be a bit clearer.
