Script Container

YSC files contain GTA V's game scripts. The new format is an adaptation of the script container format used in Red Dead Redemption.

File Format

The basic format of YSC starts with a header that's 0x80 bytes in size, there are still some unknowns in the header but for basic dissassembling you have enough information.

struct YSCHeader
{
	QWORD pageBase;// 0x00
	QWORD pageMapPointer;// 0x08
	QWORD CodeBlocksBasePointer;// 0x10 Points to an array of code block offsets
	DWORD GlobalsSignature;// 0x18
	DWORD CodeSize;// 0x1C - The size of all the code tables
	DWORD ParameterCount;// 0x20 - These are for starting a script with args. The args appear at the start of the script static variables
	DWORD StaticCount;// 0x24 - The number of static variables in the script
	DWORD GlobalCount;// 0x28 - This is used for scripts that seem to initialise global variable tables
	DWORD NativesCount;// 0x2C - The total amount of natives in the native table
	QWORD StaticsPointer;// 0x30 - The Offset in file where static variables are initialised
	QWORD GlobalsPointer;// 0x38 - The Offset in file where global variales are initilaised(only used for registration scripts)
	QWORD NativesPointer;// 0x40 - The Offset in file where the natives table is stored
	QWORD Null1;//0x48
	QWORD Null2;//0x50;
	DWORD ScriptNameHash;//0x58 - A Jenkins hash of the scripts name
	DWORD UnkUsually1;//0x5C
	QWORD ScriptNamePointer;//0x60 - Points to an offset in the file that has the name of the script
	QWORD StringBlocksBasePointer;//0x68 - Points to an array of string block offsets
	DWORD StringSize;//0x70 - The Size of all the string tables
	DWORD Null3;//0x74
	DWORD Null4;//0x78
	DWORD Null4;//0x7C
};

All Pointer items are stored in the file as 0x50XXXXXX and must therefore be masked with 0xFFFFFF to get their actual file offset.

Pages

The Code and Strings used by the script are stored in pages, each one up to a maximum size of 0x4000 bytes. The number of pages used can be calculated based of the CodeSize/StringSize using this:

int pageCount = (totalSize + 0x3FFF) >> 14;

The size of each of the pages can be calculated using this function

int pageSize(int pageIndex, int totalSize)
{
	if (pageIndex > (totalSize >> 14) || pageIndex < 0){//page out of range
		return 0;
	}else if (pageIndex == (totalSize >> 14)){
		return totalSize & 0x3FFF;
	}
	return 0x4000;
}

Code

The Poistion of each of the code pages can be found by reading the positions stored in the array pointer to from CodeBlocksBasePointer, then you can read up to pageSize in that page. The code itself is a set of 131 opcodes that is ran on a stack machine.

Native Functions

All Natives used by the script are stored in a table of hashes (seemingly random unlike on X360/PS3 versions where they were a jenkins hash of the native name). The address of the table and size can be read from the YSC Header. The native hashes are rotated right by the size of the codeSize + the index of the native in the table. To get the hash of a native from a native table index use this. The nativeTable can be got from reading the pointer from the header and masking it with 0xFFFFFF. Then returning that position in the YSC File.

QWORD getNativeHash(WORD index, const QWORD* nativeTable, DWORD codeSize)
{
	BYTE rotate = (index + codeSize) & 0x3F;
	return nativeTable[index] << rotate | nativeTable[index] >> (64 - rotate);
}

Since game version b350. Rockstar began changing the hashes of the natives each game update. Its unsure if they are random or not, but either way trying to disassemble scripts in patch b350 or later will require translating all hashes from the nativeTable(after rotating them) into their vanilla game hash. This can be done using the translation tables Alexander Blade provides in here: GTA Net GTAForums: Script/Native Documentation
