open-compote

A modern C# library for working with Relic Entertainment's .sga archive format. This project provides support for reading and writing SGA archives used in games built using the Essence engine.

About

open-compote is an open-source project aimed at providing mod tools developers and experienced modders with robust and easy to use tools for working with .sga archives. Whether you're developing mods, analysing game data, or building mod tools, this library offers a simple API for archive manipulation.

Current Status: Very early-stage development. Only SGA V2 is implemented, If you want support for additional versions early, you can contribute with issues, feature requests, or pull requests. Community contributions are welcome. And if you really want something what you can actually use now see link in Acknowledgments.
