Alpha4-v3 (Old)
(Note: this is an older release, please check the releases page for a newer version)
The tool currently supports :
- Texture modding & previewing

- Ebx editing (mostly-working), with the limitations of the current RiffEbx reader/writer. Some files can not be modded yet.
This release improves stability for both Mod Manager and Editor :
- Ensures that shader compilation is no longer skipped when launching the game
- Improves error handling when automatically scanning for games
- Improves profile launch popup logic (thanks to WiiMaster)
- Resolves an issue where the mod manager continues to run in the task manager even after being closed (thanks to WiiMaster)
- Includes previously missing plugins, such as the Bundle Editor, which were omitted due to a build configuration error

Special thanks to WiiMaster for his contributions to this release. A big shoutout to the community as well for their ongoing support and assistance.
Alpha4-v2 (Old)
(Old, please download the newer versions)
Veilguard now has editing enabled (no longer read-only).
This release has support for
- Texture modding & previewing
- Mesh previewing & extraction (modding unsupported at this time)
- Ebx editing (mostly-working), with the limitations of the current RiffEbx reader/writer. Some files can not be modded yet.
Other changes:
- Editor: EBX files imported as binary from the context menu are now directly used in mod export, meaning you can somewhat bypass the current limitations of the RiffEbx writer that errors out on some files.
There is no support for localization modding yet.
