A set of modding tools for the Ratchet & Clank PS2 games. Work in progress.
- View levels from Ratchet & Clank 2, 3 and Deadlocked.
- Edit levels from Ratchet & Clank 2 and go ingame.
- Caveat: The patching system is currently very hacky and some things may not work.
- Extract and replace certain textures.
- Decompress and recompress WAD segments (not to be confused with the *.WAD files on the game's filesystem).
- A number of command-line tools for testing.
This project is probably not very usable yet, however R&C2, R&C3 and Deadlocked are currently somewhat supported, with R&C2 being supported the best. I've tested the PAL releases, however any of them should work.
