Requirements to use this tool:

  • Install Python if you don't have it installed yet.
  • Double-click on 0_INSTALL_REQUIREMENTS.bat to install required modules.

    • Usage for modding:

    1. Double-click on Y___make_backup_before_update_game.py to copy the folder containing the file with the icons. The script will make a copy to the folder "Backup".
    2. Double-click on A___GET_RAW_FILES.bat. This will run the scripts to get the raw files from the game folder and it will make a copy to the folder "Original Bundles".
    3. Double-click on 0___EXTRACT_TEXTURES.bat. This will extract the necessary textures with your modded icons.
    4. Go to \Extracted Assets\(icons folder)\(icons subfolder) to see all the icons, from there you can start to mod them. After to finish your mods go back to the main directory of the tool.
    5. Double-click on 0___PACK_IT.bat. This will generate the new modded file for your modded icons.
    6. Double-click on 0___REPLACE_IT.bat. This will install the new generated file with your modded icons back in the game folder.
    7. If everything worked you will see your modded icons when you launch your game.
    NOTE: If you already modded the icons before then you will not get the original icons back unless you delete that game folder manually, that way the game will redownload the original file automatically the next time you launch the game. You can find the foldername opening the JSON file illust.json located in \AddressablesJSON\GeneratedJSON with Notepad.

    Usage for repack after game update:

    1. Double-click on Y___make_backup_before_update_game.py before to update your game if you already have mods located in the game folder. The script will make a backup of your mods to the folder "Backup" so you will not lose your mods when you update your game.
    2. Update your game.
    3. Double-click on A___GET_RAW_FILES.bat. This will run the scripts to get the raw files from the game folder and it will make a copy to the folder "Original Bundles".
    4. Double-click on 0___EXTRACT_TEXTURES.bat. This will extract the necessary textures with your modded icons.
    5. Double-click on 0___PACK_IT.bat. This will generate the new modded file for your modded icons.
    6. Double-click on 0___REPLACE_IT.bat. This will install the new generated file with your modded icons back in the game folder.
    7. If everything worked you will see your modded icons working again when you launch your game.

    Happy modding! ^‿^
