This repository was created to demonstrate how CDPR's proprietary REDEngine reads and writes file formats. And to experiment with the working of games running on this engine i.e. The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077. This toolkit is being made solely for research and educational purposes, and the dev team is in no way responsible for any malfunctions that occur from its use. Its completely open source, licensed under GPL v3.0, and in no way is it made to generate revenue. An ancestor to this tool was W3Edit, initially developed by Sarcen in 2015, around the time The Witcher 3 first came out. After Sarcen stopped working on it, a few of us picked it up and continued from there.

Currently, WolvenKit allows reading and writing nearly every REDEngine file format to some extent. It can also be used to create file modifications to the assets of the game, though this is currently beign actively worked upon, so do make sure to check it regularly. Our primary focus at the moment is progressing with support for the new game, Cyberpunk 2077.

WolvenKit can either be built from source or acquired pre-built via the installer.

1. Download WolvenKit

   1. Get the latest release here: https://github.com/WolvenKit/Wolvenkit/releases/latest.

2. Launch the installer.

   1. Double click on the .exe to start the installation procedure and the program will take care of the rest.

1. Install .NET 5

   1. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0

2. Install the latest Visual Studio release.

   1. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

3. Required files

   1. All the required files are either NuGet packages, which will automatically be downloaded on pressing Build, or readily included in the package in the Libs directory.
   2. If, for some reason, the LFS quota is depleted, the renderer prerequisite libs can be acquired here: https://outwa.it/lib.zip

4. Build and Run

   1. Build WolvenKit.sln on Debug or Release doesn't matter.
   2. Run WolvenKit.exe (in WolvenKit\bin\<Debug|Release>\net5.0-windows\win-x64\).

Please do! Fork the project and please commit your changes in small incremental steps with descriptive messages. Code quality is not the biggest concern but refrain from stupid mistakes that may lead to the denial of the pull request. It's a good idea to create an issue when implementing a feature so people don't work on the same feature/issue in an asynchronous manner.

WolvenKit is a direct result of the hard work and continuous support, financial and otherwise, of the many researchers, programmers, artists, contributors, and companies that have helped with this project. Without their outstanding work and generous support, we never would have been able to create WolvenKit for Cyberpunk 2077. A very special thank you goes out to...
