Charm - the Destiny tool that does everything

What is this?

A new, flashier, fully C# version of my previous tool Phonon.

It is designed to support many versions of the Tiger engine, including many game versions of Destiny 2.

The tool focuses on providing as much access to the information in the game files as possible, ideal for artists and content preservation.

How do I install and use it?

You'll first need at least one game installation. Charm currently supports:

Version	Description	Where	Main manifest id	Language manifest id
2.6.0.1	Shadowkeep first update	DepotDownloader	7002268313830901797	2399965969279284756
2.9.9.9	Shadowkeep last update	DepotDownloader	4160053308690659072	4651412338057797072
3.4.0.2	Beyond Light last update	DepotDownloader	5631185797932644936	3832609057880895101
6.3.0.7	Witch Queen last update	DepotDownloader	6051526863119423207	1078048403901153652
N/A	Lightfall latest	Steam	N/A	N/A

If you just want to look at the latest release, you only need Destiny 2 downloaded on Steam.

Otherwise, you can download the DepotDownloader versions by

Downloading DepotDownloader
Running it with the following arguments:

dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 1085660 -depot 1085661 -manifest {main_manifest_id} -username <username> -password <password> -dir <path> -validate
dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 1085660 -depot 1085662 -manifest {language_manifest_id} -username <username> -password <password> -dir <path> -validate

e.g.
dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 1085660 -depot 1085661 -manifest 4160053308690659072 -username myusername -password mypassword -dir "D:/DestinyCharmStore/v2601/" -validate
dotnet DepotDownloader.dll -app 1085660 -depot 1085662 -manifest 4651412338057797072 -username myusername -password mypassword -dir "D:/DestinyCharmStore/v2601/" -validate

After you've downloaded the version(s) you want:

You'll need .NET 7.0 x64 installed.
Download the latest release and run Charm.exe.
Set the packages and export paths first.

If you encounter any problems, take a look in the Logs/ folder, find the latest log file, and look at the exception. Feel free to raise an issue on this repository on in DMR #charm-tool-help if you need help.

Also take a look at the Charm wiki for more info.
