Tools List - RTHKKona/MHGU-Modding GitHub Wiki

Primary Tools

  • Kuriimu2

    Kuriimu2 Download

    Used for .arc opening, .tex export, .arc recompression. You will need .Net Desktop Runtime 3.1.6 to run this! Here

    SaladSoftware Kuriimu2 Fork Or SaladSoftware exe (on GameBanana)

    I made a Python fork specifically with what I wanted from Kuriimu2. Do note that the actual .arc decompression and all of the actual processing was directly from Kuriimu2 and I do not take credit for that. The only things I added were the dark mode, highly-improved batch injection/extraction functionality, a log to view the backend, and UI.
