Overview

This tool began as a small app for working with L2 client quest files and has evolved into a full-fledged .dat editor with additional functionality. L2w_tool is written in Rust and does not depend on any other common L2 software, such as l2encdec or ACME tools. However, it does rely on OpenSSL development libraries, making compilation for Windows a hassle. (There are plans to replace OpenSSL with a pure Rust solution.)
