Thanks for building this!


Can't you do slk=>obj with this tool. I think it would do the same thing.

While conversion to obj would also achieve making a map playable in Reforged, it's useless for a mapmaker that wants to publish maps in the load-optimized SLK format. That's why this thread's tool is useful.

Makes sense. I assumed entire SLK reading was busted in Reforged 2.0, not just the model paths.
