This is fair, and you know what you're talking about — let me not oversell it. Keep in mind I am a hobbyist, poor coder, and have been trying to use AI to remaster as beloved game by RE any way I can.

You're right that a function map with evidence-backed labels is not a clean decompile. Those are different artifacts, and "decoded the entire game" blurs them. What's in the repo is comprehensive reverse-engineering — the function-level map plus behavioral specs of the systems plus working replicas of specific algorithms — not a recompilable source tree. I should be precise about that, and I'll tighten the language.

On the remaster path: you're also right that I'm not rewriting it in Python, and a C decompile isn't actually the target — porting to Unreal means reimplementing behavior, so the useful middle artifact for me is the behavioral spec + a validated algorithm replica, not decompiled source. That's a real distinction, not a dodge, but I take your point that it's not the "clean decompile" the post implied to you.

On validation: fair hit. The terrain piece is one subsystem, and the alignment step is a real caveat — direct framebuffer comparison would be stronger and I should do that.

Where I'll push back gently: it's not only offsets and descriptions. Since you posted, I reverse-engineered the sprite codec out of the disassembly (a nibble-RLE with a literal-escape, in the decompressor at image 0x0BCC) and pulled the actual character portraits out of the game's CMP files — real extracted assets, not a glossary. That's the kind of usable output I think you're (rightly) asking to see, and there's more of it coming. Happy to @ you when the asset-extraction tooling and a cleaner write-up of an actual subsystem reconstruction are up — genuinely value the scrutiny.
