Unmaintained FFXIV modding framework. |
I originally wrote this in C++, but eventually rewrote it in Rust and that turned into
[Physis]({{< ref "physis" >}}).
Goals
- Easily integratable into other FFXIV launchers so they can have update/install support without having to write it themselves.
- Can export Penumbra/Lumina format mods, I have no interest in exporting in TexTools's format.
- Can export/edit some formats such as models, and metadata/exl files.
- Can be used on Windows/Linux/macOS and doesn't pull in a huge runtime (C#) or run in Wine.
Features
- Easily extract game files and view excel sheets by name. See gamedata.h for usage.
- Install patches (right now it's limited to boot patches). See patch.h for usage.
- Install FFXIV by emulating the official installer, bypassing Wine and InstallShield. You can see how to use this in installextract.h.
- Parse some game data:
- EXD
- EXH
- EXL
- FIIN
- INDEX/INDEX2
- MDL
