Glory Destiny / Spirit Tales files

Hi guys, I'm new here. I've been all over the place looking for help using Google, but it hasn't really been all that fruitful. If I'm not mistaken, I feel that this is a legitimate site concerning this type of thing.

I've working on an online database for Spirit Tales so I need to retrieve information from the game files. It has been done before by someone, but he has dropped off the radar and lost interest in this game I guess. I used to get the information from this person, but now that he's gone my online database has come to a halt and is terribly outdated.

I want to keep going with this project, but I don't know how to do any of this stuff. However, if someone can point me in the right direction I'm willing to learn how to do it myself if that's what it takes.
