Rusted PackFile Manager

Rusted PackFile Manager (RPFM) is a... reimplementation in Rust and GTK3 of PackFile Manager (PFM), one of the best modding tools for Total War Games.

Status of the Project

The latest released version can (for TW:Warhammer I and II and Attila):

Manipulate PackFiles (create, open and save).
Manipulate PackedFiles (add, extract, rename, delete).
Edit DB PackedFiles (With copy/paste support for rows and single cells).
Edit Localisation PackedFiles (With copy/paste support for rows and single cells).
Edit Lua/Xml/Csv/Txt PackedFiles (and many more, with autocompletion for lua files).
Edit RigidModel Files (changing his textures I mean).

In addition to that, it has some special features:

MyMod: A re-implementation of the "MyMod" feature from PFM. It works following the behavior specified here with some changes:
- "Delete selected mod" actually deletes the mod and his extracted files.
- It'll enable itself when you open a "MyMod" mod, and disable itself when you open another mod.
Patch SiegeAI: For mappers. It patches the opened PackFile so the Siege AI stuff of your map works properly, delete the useless xml files in your map's folder and save your PackFile.
Create Map Prefab: Experimental feature for mappers (Only for Warhammer I & II). It allows them to create custom "Prefabs" that'll show up in Terry in the "Prefab" menu. NOTE: Prefabs done with this tool are not yet shareable.
Patch Attila's RigidModel: It patches the selected Attila's RigidModel file to work in Warhammer 1&2. Basically, it's to be able to import a custom model through Attila's Assembly Kit and then ported it to Warhammer. DISCLAIMER: Please note that importing models from another IPs different from Warhammer Fantasy, or from any other game you don't have the copyright to use it It's not legal and can get you in trouble. And I'm not responsible in case you get in trouble.

To see what's being worked on, check the TODO.md file (the one in the "Develop" branch is usually the most updated one).

Requirements (to use)

To use the Windows version, there are no requirements. Just extract it somewhere and execute it. After that, you need to go to settings, configure the paths of the games you have installed there, then go to Special Stuff/YourConfiguredGames,OneAtATime/Generate Dependency Pack. Otherwise, many features will not work.

Requirements (to build)

To build this project, you need:

GTK 3.22 or higher (including SourceView).
Rust toolchain (+1.26).

In Linux, you just need to install the latest GTK3 package of your distro (at least GTK 3.22), the GTK Source View package and the Rust Toolchain (at least +1.26, recommended using Rustup).

In Windows, first you need to install the Rust Toolchain ((at least +1.26, recommended using Rustup), then go here to learn the painful odyssey of installing GTK3 and GTK3 Source View for Windows.

To build, move to the repo directory and execute:

# For Windows
cargo build --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu --release

# For Linux
cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --release

FAQ

Why not helping with PFM instead of reimplementing it?: because I wanted to learn a new language, and I already now a bit of C#. Also, where is the fun of that?
Why the code quality is not the very best?: because I'm using this project to learn Rust, and I'm constantly rewriting code as I find new and better ways to write it.

Known issues

The program hangs a bit when changing a rigidmodel texture: Yeah, the current process is slow as hell. Something to fix in the future.
Some tables takes quite some time to load...: That's because they have cross-references with other tables, so RPFM has to decode them too. This'll be an option in the future.
RPFM hangs when I check for new update!: It's the first time I do any kind of network related code, so it's far from perfect.
Creating a DB table is freaking slow!!!: Yeah, I know. That's something to improve for the future.

Credits

Frodo45127: I'm the guy who has made the program.
Maruka (From Steam): He made the wazard hat's icon. Also, he helped with the research to decode RigidModel files.
Mr. Jox (From Steam): He helped with A LOT of information about decoding RigidModels.
Aexrael Dex (From Discord): He is who got all those suggested functions you see when editing a Lua Script.
Der Spaten (From Discord): He helped with the research to decode RigidModels, specially with the "Replace texture" functionality.
nana-4 (From Github): The white theme you see in the Windows version is Materia, by he/she.
Leo Iannacone (From Github): He did the "Monokai Extended" theme for GTKSourceView.

Special Thanks to:

The guys that made PFM: Most of the decoding stuff would have been very hard to work out without the PFM source code. So many thanks for make the PFM open source!
The guys at CA: They make good, easily-moddable games, and are very friendly with the community. Weird company in these times.
