About this mod Author’s original text
Asset Studio
This a stand alone application (not a Talespire plugin) for extracting data (such as meshes and textures) from
an existing asset bundle. Ideal when you want to customize already build asset bundles (like HF minis).
This is NOT a Plugin Masters' application. Plugin Masters have only wrapped it up as a pack.
This plugin, like all others, is free but if you want to donate, use:

Install
Do not download using R2ModMan or other Mod Manager. This is not a mod.
Go page and then scroll down to the bottom of the page. Instead of clicking on the `install`
button, click on the desired version under the Download Link column. This will download the application as a ZIP
file and you can extract it to any desired location. The application is self contained and does not need any install
process. Just run the `AssetStudioGUI.exe` file.
Usage
There are many options and features but basically:
- From the menu File | Load File and select the asset bundle to be extracted.
- From the menu Model | Export All Objects (Split) and select the destination folder.
The asset bundle contents will be extracted into the destination.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
