A tool to edit many formats of Nintendo Switch and some Wii U.

v0.8.5.1

• Basic .nutexb dds injection. Must be same width/height and format due to .arc size limitations atm!

v0.8.4 - v0.8.5

• Textures for Wii U deswizzle properly thanks to AboodXD.
• Zstb compressed files will be detected and decompressed automatically on open.
• Textures BC1-BC5 will show properly if DirectXTex is not working on older windows versions. Small work around atm.
• Improper transformations (like bad rotations) should be fixed now.
• Basic GTX file viewing
• Fixed BNTX texture alignment if there is only one texture present in the file.
• Many more bug fixes to enhance the user experience.

v0.8.3

• Support all nutexb formats from .arc.
• Fix brightness issues for nutexb srgb (using unorm for decoding atm).

v0.8.2 Changelog

• Exporting/importing of all animation types as binary.
• .Nutexb previewing/exporting. (and batch exporting)

• Channel types are now set on import. May fix normal map issues.
• Archives use double click for opening files
• DDS cubemaps can be imported
• GFPAK repacking (untested)

To build make sure you have Visual Studio installed (I use 2017, older versions may not work) and open the .sln. Then build the solution as release. It should compile properly on the latest.

In the event that the tool cannot compile, check references. All the libraries are stored in Switch-Toolbox/Lib folder.

• Smash Forge Devs (SMG, Ploaj, jam1garner, smb123w64gb, etc) for some code ported over. Specifically animation stuff, GTX c# implementation, and some rendering.
• Assimp devs for their massive asset library!
• Wexos (helped figure out a few things, ie format list to assign each attribute)
• JuPaHe64 for the base 3D renderer.
• Every File Explorer devs (Gericom) for Yaz0 stuff
• Exelix for Byaml, Sarc and KCL library
• Syroot for helpful IO extensions and libraries
• GDK Chan for some DDS decode methods
• AboodXD for some foundation stuff with exelix's SARC library, GTX and BNTX texture swizzling and documentation
• MelonSpeedruns for logo.
