Requirements

• .NET 6.0 Desktop Runtime (x64 or x86 depending on your OS)

Installation

To install, simply EXTRACT everything from the zip file to a desired location, and run the Ego File Converter.exe file.

Application Information

This program lets you convert binary XML, Lng, Tpk, and Pkg files for EGO engine games.

Usage

Drag and drop a file on the exe to convert it. Alternatively, you can right click a file, click "Open With", and choose the exe.

Possible conversions:

• Binary XML <-> XML
• Pkg <-> JSON
• Lng <-> XML (DO NOT change the "info" section)
• Tpk <-> DDS (file name ending with .tpk.dds)

When converting a tpk, the app will display the internal name and image format. When converting dds back to tpk make sure to set the file name to the internal tpk name.

Note: After conversion, the output file will overwrite any existing file. Output file names are the input file + ".xml", ".json", ".lng", ".dds", ".tpk" or ".pkg"
