Red Faction: Guerrilla Tools

  • RfgUtil - Used for unpacking most file formats and updating asm_pc files
  • Nanoforge C++ - Map editor, texture editor, .xtbl editor and more
  • mTools - Drag and drop tool to convert .asm_pc files to XML and vice versa
  • RSL - Script Loader
  • AsmTool- WIP Tool for modifying asm_pc files used by Red Faction Guerrilla. This is meant to replace hand editing them, which is very error prone and tedious
  • SyncFaction - WIP tool for automatically installing the Terraform Patch and eventually replacing the old mod manager
