Keep in mind this tool is still very experimental. If something breaks from a commit, you can download manually from [here](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/KillzXGaming/switch-toolbox/history). Just select a commit, go to artifacts tab and download the zip. Also be sure to report anything that breaks to [issues here](https://github.com/KillzXGaming/Switch-Toolbox/issues) on github.
To build make sure you have Visual Studio installed (I use 2017, older versions may not work) and open the solution (.sln), then build the solution as release. It should compile properly on the latest.
In the event that the tool cannot compile, check references. All the libraries used are stored in Switch-Toolbox/Lib folder.
## Credits

- Ploaj for a base on the DAE writer.
- Assimp devs for their massive asset library!
- Wexos (helped figure out a few things, i.e. format list to assign each attribute)
- JuPaHe64 for the base 3D renderer.
- Every File Explorer devs (Gericom) for Yaz0 and bitmap font stuff.
- exelix for BYAML, SARC and KCL library.
- Syroot for helpful IO extensions and libraries.
- GDKChan for SPICA library (used for BCH), PICA shaders stuff used with BCRES, structs for BCRES, and some DDS decode methods.
- AboodXD for some foundation stuff with exelix's SARC library, Wii U (GPU7) and Switch (Tegra X1) textures swizzling, reading/converting uncompressed types for DDS, and documentation for GTX, XTX, and BNTX. Library for Yaz0 made by AboodXD and helped port it to the tool.
