Milo Script Library

This is a repository for the raw scripts in as many Harmonix titles as we have ripped and available to us. Usually these scripts are in Harmonix's homebrew Lisp-like Data Array language, though FreQuency, their earliest title, used Python 1 instead. (The name "Milo" refers to the name Harmonix themselves gave their game engine. Nearly all of their games share the same engine with upgrades and improvements made over time.)

Some games (namely Rock Band for the PS2 and the Amplitude PS2 OPM demo) feature these scripts in their raw DTA format, and thus contain Harmonix's original comments, an invaluable insight into their development process. Most other games have had their DTBs (the tokenized and encrypted script format the game actually reads) converted to DTA; these are therefore missing comments.

If you need this stuff, you should also join the MiloHax Discord, where people can help you out and we can all chat about modding Milo and whatnot: https://discord.gg/WWmsQvHSC6

Extraction status

Here are some tables for games that fit within our scope and where they're at as far as being added to the repo. Extracted means they're in the repo, Available means we have them, but they're not yet added, and Not available means we don't have raw scripts for that game, usually because they haven't yet been cracked or because no one has a dump of the disc.

These tables are not exhaustive. Harmonix released many games and many updates for those games, so this is subject to change and addition as the time goes on. Please let me know about omissions.

Footnotes

  1. Due to a slightly unsupported ARK type, some DTA files in rivals are not accurate to the update and may be from a pre-rivals build

  2. Forge has multiple DTA types, .dta_dta and .script_dta. .script_dta files are converted with _script appended to the file name 2 3

  3. Song/MOGG DTAs failed to convert
