TTGames Explorer Rebirth vs UABEA

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. Download or clone its GitHub repository, then run provided binaries or build from source. Ac_K is credited as creator and maintainer, with modding-community contributions.

UABEA is a free reader and writer for Unity Asset Bundles and Serialized Files on Windows and Linux. Its maker positions it for modding and research rather than general asset extraction. The tool handles textures, TextAssets, fonts, audio, MonoBehaviours, Unity Asset Bundles, Unity Serialized Files, and Addressables bundles, and supports batch extraction and archive repacking. Editing Addressables requires clearing CRC checks with a separate CRC cleaning tool. UABEANext, a newer work-in-progress version, adds docking and multi-bundle opening. The latest listed release requires .NET Runtime 6.0. Windows also needs the Visual C++ Redistributable; Linux requires glibc 2.29 or later, and musl-based distributions require compiling UABEA. Font import and export covers TTF and OTF, but font atlases are unsupported. Swizzled Switch textures can be edited, while newly added textures are not automatically swizzled. The repository identifies the software as MIT licensed.
