 ========
-A tool to decompile protobuf classes compiled by [protoc](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf), from CIL assemblies back into .proto definitions.
+A tool to decompile protobuf classes compiled by [protoc](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf), from il2cpp compiled CIL assemblies back into .proto definitions.
+
+This branch was created as a proof-of-concept using [the development branch of LibCpp2Il](https://github.com/SamboyCoding/Cpp2IL/tree/development/LibCpp2IL) to parse the game assembly and metadata directly, without the intermediate step of generating dummy DLLs.
+
+I offer no guarantees that this branch functions 1:1 with master, it may explode.
 
 Usage
 -----
 ```
-Usage: protodec(.exe) <target_assembly_path> <out_path> [options]
+Usage: protodec(.exe) <game_assembly_path> <global_metadata_path> <unity_version> <out_path> [options]
 Arguments:
-  target_assembly_path  Either the path to the target assembly or a directory of assemblies, all of which be parsed.
+  game_assembly_path    The path to the game assembly DLL.
+  global_metadata_path  The path to the global-metadata.dat file.
+  unity_version         The version of Unity which was used to create the metadata file.
   out_path              An existing directory to output into individual files, otherwise output to a single file.
 Options:
   --parse_service_servers                                     Parses gRPC service definitions from server classes.
@@ -21,8 +27,9 @@ Limitations
 -----------
 - Integers are assumed to be (u)int32/64 as CIL doesn't differentiate between them and sint32/64 and (s)fixed32/64.
 - Package names are not preserved in protobuf compilation so naturally we cannot recover them during decompilation, which may result in naming conflicts.
-- When decompiling from [Il2CppDumper](https://github.com/Perfare/Il2CppDumper) DummyDLLs
-    - The `Name` parameter of `OriginalNameAttribute` is not dumped. In this case, the CIL enum field names are used after conforming them to protobuf conventions
+- Due to the development branch of Cpp2Il not yet recovering method bodies
+    - The `Name` parameter of `OriginalNameAttribute` is not parsed. In this case, the CIL enum field names are used after conforming them to protobuf conventions.
+    - The `Tool` parameter of `GeneratedCodeAttribute` is not compared against when parsing gRPC service methods, which may cause false positives in the event that another tool has generated methods in the service class.
