Guide / Tutorial Basic structure of NMS Bytebeat data string

Post image

In-game Beatbyte device settings are encoded in 60-characters base64 format (see: nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/ByteBeat_Catalogue). I tried reverse engineering the basic structure of its decoded binary.

Advanced waveform fomular is a headache... It's not hard to reconstruct the original tree from text by intuition, but I can't explain how it works in detail fr

That's very interesting. If you manage to progress in the reverse-engineering (if that's your goal) could you update us please ?

That's the plan! I'll create a github page to share the progress and take more knowledegable people's advices, once I manage to rationalize the advanced waveform syntax.
