Hack.io

A Collection of File In/Out libraries for various formats
Previously referred to as "Hackio.IO"

NOTICE

Please be aware that the Hack.io libraries are indefinitely in a period of transitioning to .NET 8. I do not know when or if I will update every library.

What is it?

The Hack.io libraries are easy-to-use, modular C# libraries that can be used in multiple projects. I made these with the intent of just using them so I wouldn't have to constantly repeat my code when doing projects. In the end, here they are, feel free to use them in your projects.

Library Listing

• Hack.io
  Hack.io is the base library used by all the other Hack.io libraries.

• Hack.io.BCK
  Bone Animations for J3D Models (SMG/SMG2, SMS, Pikmin, etc.)

• Hack.io.BAS
  Sound Links for BCK animations in J3D Models (SMG/SMG2, SMS, Pikmin, etc.) This library is required for Hack.io.BCK, as some games embed their BAS files into the bck directly instead of being separate.

• Hack.io.BMD (DEPRICATED)
  Library for J3D Models (SMG/SMG2, SMS, Pikmin, etc.)
  Heavily based on SuperBMD, but only does Read/Write to/from BMD/BDL. (no model importing and no model exporting)

• Hack.io.BTK
  Texture Position Animations for J3D Models (SMG/SMG2, SMS, Pikmin, etc.)

• Hack.io.BRK
  Colour Register Animations for J3D Models (SMG/SMG2, SMS, Pikmin, etc.)

• Hack.io.BTI
  Library for the BTI image format. Supports all image formats and mipmaps

• Hack.io.BTP
  Frame Animations for J3D Models (SMG/SMG2, SMS, etc.)
  This would animate a material by swapping out texture indicies

• Hack.io.BVA
  Mesh Visibility Animations for J3D Models (SMG/SMG2, etc.)

• Hack.io.BPK
  Palette Animations for J3D Models (SMG/SMG2, etc.)

• Hack.io.BCSV
  Comma Seperated Values (SMG/SMG2)

• Hack.io.RARC
  Revolution (Wii) Archives. (SMG/SMG2, SMS)
  THESE ARE NOT U8 FORMATTED ARCHIVES!

• Hack.IO.YAZ0
  Library for Compressing/Decompressing data to/from YAZ0. Works with pretty much anything

• Hack.IO.YAY0
  Library for Compressing/Decompressing data to/from YAY0. Works with pretty much anything

How to use

Download the Libraries you want and then reference them in your program's Assembly References.
Using statements will also be needed. The statements are identical to the library name.
Example:
using Hack.io.RARC;
