Project overview

At the moment the project only works on Windows. We wait until the AppPlatform library gets support for Linux and possibly macOS.

How to build

Clone the repository with submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/GothicTools/AssetWizard.git

Run the cmake command in the root directory:

cmake -B build -S .

Build the project:

cmake --build build

The process may very depending on your preferred CMake generator.

Folder structure

The Frontend folder contains React TS project that handles everything related to a user interface.

The Backend folder contains the C++ code that handles all the heavy lifting such as parsing VDF files, compiling assets, etc.

Libraries used

We use a bunch of helper libraries:

• AppPlatform - integration of a webview into a C++ application
• phoenix - managing Gothic assets
• fmtlib - formatting text
• rapidjson - parsing JSON messages
