SLADE3 vs TTGames Explorer Rebirth

SLADE3 is a free editor for Doom-engine games and source ports, available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It handles archives and the resources inside them: users can create, open, save, import, export, order, convert, and revert entries, with several archives open in tabs for copying and pasting between them. Supported archive formats include Doom WAD and ZIP/PK3, Quake PAK and WAD2, Build GRP and ART, Shadowcaster DAT and LIB, and Amulets & Armor RES. Its map editor covers Doom, Hexen, and UDMF maps, with 3D editing and automatic sector generation. The text editor offers syntax highlighting, calltips, autocomplete, auto-indent, and find-and-replace. Graphics can be viewed, converted, palette-remapped, and exported to PNG; Doom composite textures can also be edited. SLADE3 plays several audio formats, including MUS, MIDI, XMI, HMI, and HMP. Stable release 3.2.12 is listed alongside beta 3.3.0 Beta 2, which may have bugs, crashes, or unfinished features.

TTGames Explorer Rebirth is a free, open-source utility for exploring and extracting assets from TTGames LEGO video games. It browses and extracts .dat, .fpk, .pac, and .pak archives, with batch extraction for multiple assets. Supported text files such as .txt, .xml, and .csv open in a color-coded viewer. The tool can preview textures including .dds and .tex and export them as PNG. Audio formats including .adp, .cbx, .mp3, and .ogg can be played and converted. It also handles .ft2 fonts, .tsh texture sets, shaders, and models, with previews for shaders and models. TTGames compression and encryption methods include LZ2K, Deflate, and RC4; Deflate support excludes .an4 files. The project is distributed under the MIT License.
