Why is this helpful?

• While compressed files - such as ZIP/WAD/PK3 - can be uploaded with git, you can't keep track of development (like which files were added, removed or modified in each commit/version)
• Having your mod outside of a compressed file also allows mods to be edited more easily with apps other than SLADE
• The compiler tool can automate the process of saving your mod to a PK3 every time you want to test the mod
• The decompiler tool can automate the process of exporting your PK3 mod to a folder so it can be versioned with git
• Your settings are saved automatically based on the file name. You can also expand the window vertically in the Compiler menu to save and load custom presets

How to use this to build and test your mod

• Open the .py file with Python
• Compiler settings page: Specify which folder will be converted into a pk3
• Compiler settings page: Specify where your 7-Zip is installed
• (OPTIONAL) Compiler settings page: Specify the preferred filename for the pk3
• (OPTIONAL) Compiler settings page: Specify where the pk3 will be moved to afterwards (By default, it goes to wherever the compiler is)
• (OPTIONAL) Compiler settings page: Specify a .bat to automatically launch SRB2 with your mod after compiling (Example: srb2win.exe -debug -opengl -warp 1 -file MyCoolMod.pk3 +weather 1)
• Compiler page: Compile and/or test the mod

How to use this to export your PK3 mod

• Open the .py file with Python
• Decompiler settings page: Specify where your 7-Zip is installed
• Decompiler settings page: Specify which PK3 will be cloned to a folder
• Decompiler page: Decompile your mod, and sort files to remove duplicate files so it can be ran in SRB2 after compiling (WORK IN PROGRESS)
