nnnotes？！

简体中文 | English

nnnotes is an offline data toolkit for the game files of BanG Dream! Our Notes: it reads Addressables catalogs, downloads and decrypts asset bundles, downloads and decodes master data, and exports stories, Live2D models, spots, shaders, CRI audio and live charts as structured JSON and common file formats. The chart export is the data that ournotes-player reads. The naming was inspired by mos9527/sssekai.

This is an unofficial fan project, not affiliated with the game's developer or operator. The repository contains no game assets, keys or server addresses: users supply the game files, the keys needed for decryption and the server addresses in their own configuration, and the exports stay in local directories the user chooses.

Features

Export conventions:

• Commands that write files take the output path with -o (required); web takes the site directory as a positional argument.
• JSON is always UTF-8 with LF line endings; infinity is written as 1e999.
• Exports are deterministic for a given installation: the same input with the same versions of nnnotes, its Python dependencies (UnityPy, Pillow, numpy, ...) and the external tools (vgmstream, FFmpeg) gives byte-identical files. Other versions can encode the same content into other bytes: PNG files written by another Pillow version can differ in their bytes while their pixels are equal.
• Values keep Unity's serialized values and field names (m_LocalPosition, _bandIDs, ...), so they can be compared with the game data.
• Textures are exported as PNG, shaders keep the game's own compiled programs, audio is decoded from the CRI formats to common formats.

Status

Based on all data of the Taiwan server, version 1.0.1 (zh-Hant):

Requirements

• Python 3.11+, 3.13 recommended (a web build reads and writes a lot of JSON, and the standard library encodes JSON faster on 3.13); pip install nnnotes (for development pip install -e . in the repository)
• the game's base.apk: APK-local bundles, the CRI keycode, boot settings. player, story, live and web read MonoBehaviours of its boot data with type trees that ship with nnnotes; supported now: game version 1.0.1 (Unity 6000.3.12f1). With an APK of another version whose classes do not match, these commands stop with an error naming the class, the game version and the Unity version
• a decoded master data directory (from master download + master decode): needed by adv, story, spot, live and the charts of web; the Live2D models of web use it only for their character names (optional)
• external tools: vgmstream (CRI HCA decoding), FFmpeg (transcoding, including the WebM muxing and Opus audio of story videos); web also needs Node.js 20+ and a built ournotes-player

Configuration

The code contains no keys, server addresses or default paths. Settings are read in this order, later sources overriding earlier ones:

1. config file: --config <file>, else NNNOTES_CONFIG, else nnnotes.toml in the working directory
2. environment variables: NNNOTES_<SECTION>_<KEY> (e.g. NNNOTES_BUNDLE_KEY, NNNOTES_SERVERS_TW_CDN)
3. command-line flags: --region, --language, --catalog, --cache, --master, --apk, --ffmpeg, --vgmstream, --node go before the command name; --player is an option of web

Copy nnnotes.example.toml to nnnotes.toml and fill it in. The settings are: the bundle key and nonce seed, the master data key and IV, the region in use ([catalog] region) and the catalog language ([catalog] language), the CDN base and API root of each region (cdn, api of [servers.<region>]), the client version ([client] version; unset: the APK's versionName), optionally the bootstrap API root ([bootstrap] api, for servers), and the paths of the cache, the APK, the master data directory, ournotes-player and vgmstream / FFmpeg / Node.js (the three tools are looked up on PATH when unset). All values come from the game client you own.

A missing or malformed setting stops the command with exit status 2 and one line naming the TOML key, the environment variable and the flag; no setting value is printed. nnnotes.toml is in .gitignore; do not commit it.

See docs/configuration.md for the full reference.

Examples

nnnotes catalog --prefix Live/MusicScore/ --limit 20
nnnotes browse --port 8000
nnnotes pull Live/MusicScore/0001/0001_03
nnnotes master version
nnnotes master download --latest -o work/master-bin
nnnotes master decode work/master-bin -o work/master
nnnotes --master work/master adv 10462 -o out/adv_10462.json
nnnotes story 10462 -o out/story_10462
nnnotes live 100001 --difficulty expert -o out/live_100001
nnnotes web out/site --all --player <ournotes-player dir> --workers 5
nnnotes web out/site --pair 100001:expert --pair 100001:hard --player <ournotes-player dir>
nnnotes web out/site --all --region tw --region en --region kr --player <ournotes-player dir>
nnnotes web out/site --live2d adv_live2d_rana_003_casual_spring_01 --player <ournotes-player dir>

web builds incrementally: charts and models whose manifest exists are skipped (--force rebuilds them) and assets no longer referenced are removed. Common options:

• --format aac|opus|vorbis|mp3|flac: BGM format, default AAC; --no-audio: no audio files
• --band / --leader-card: the band of the LightWeight background and the start timeline; default: the band of the music's first vocal character
• --workers: parallel music processes (default a quarter of the CPUs, up to 8) and model processes (default up to 4); --read-workers: chart read sets at a time (Node.js processes; default half the CPUs, up to 16); --tmp: temporary build directory (default <site>.tmp)
• --live2d MODEL (model id or key, repeatable) / --all-live2d: add Live2D models (every model of the catalog); charts and models can be added in the same run
• --region REGION (repeatable) / --all-regions: the regions the site serves (default: [catalog] region); each region's master data is [servers.<region>] master. Regions with the same chart data share one manifest; the chart list page switches region and language with ?region=&lang=
• --player-only: rewrite the player files, charts.json and models.json only; --reingest-json: store every chart's and model's JSON files again under the current rules

See docs/commands.md for every command's options and output layout.

Architecture

settings (TOML / environment / flags)
  └─ access    addressables (catalog parsing, bundle decryption, local browser)
               catalog (dependency closures, remote and APK bundles, local cache)
               master (master data download and decoding)
               gameapi (anonymous game API calls: current master data version, server list)
       └─ reading  unity (UnityPy type trees and TextAssets)
                   export (prefabs / components / references resolved to JSON, textures and shaders alongside)
                   shader, textstyle (text layout and style), tmpfont (TextMesh Pro fonts), player (boot settings), cri + crikey (CRI audio)
            └─ content  stories: adv, advscene, advmedia (frames / effects / post effects / stills / chat),
                                 advvideo (USM videos), advui, story
                        Live2D: live2d, motion
                        spots: spot, room
                        charts: score (chart parsing and a reimplementation of the game's chart converter),
                                livescene, livenotes, liveui, liveaudio, live
                        site: web, webmodel (ournotes-player data)

Every JSON file is written by one writer (jsonio), so encoding, line endings and number formatting are the same everywhere.
