libxiv

A modding framework for FFXIV written in C++. This is intended for use Novus, my custom modding tool - but it's eventually going to be integrated into Astra as well.

Goals

• Be integratable into launchers for updating support.
• Can export penumbra mods, I have no interest in exporting in TexTools's format.
• Can export/edit some formats such as models, and metadata/exl.

Dependencies

• fmt for formatting
• z for zlib support, needed for dat files
• unshield for extracting cab files for bootstrapping

Features

• Can read index/index2/dat/exh/exl files (see Xparser.h)
• Can extract bootstrap files required to start FFXIV for the first time (see installextract.h)
