Download and extract the latest version of the application from the Releases page.
Ensure you have the necessary prerequisites to develop .NET 9.0 applications on your machine.
After cloning, initialize the extractor submodule with git submodule update --init --recursive.
This must stay recursive because tools/libbndl-extractor itself pins Bo98/libbndl as a nested submodule.
Compiling the application is as simple as opening the project within your IDE of choice (Such as Rider or Visual Studio 2022), or by running dotnet build.
The autotest workflow uses the tools/libbndl-extractor submodule to unpack bundle files without committing its generated CMake state and fetched dependencies into the main repo.
NOTE: This may not be entirely comprehensive. Run "help" for a full list of commands within the application.
- Imports information and data from a specified platform's binary resource into a standardized text-based YAML format.
- Exports a specified YAML text-based resource to a specified platform's binary resource file.
- Ports texture data from the specified source platform's binary format directly to the specified destination platform's format.
- Imports entries from files containing a ResourceStringTable into the ResourceDB.
- Runs automatic tests to ensure the application is working.
- When provided a path & format, will import, export, then reimport specified file to ensure IO parity.
- When provided game path(s), roundtrip tests now include exact binary parity checks between original and exported files.
