Usage

Simply double-click it to run like any other application.

Note: It will require other files in the same directory as the executable so it may be wise to create a separate directory and place the executables in the directory prior to running the application.

Main Form

The form has a set of 3 tabs (for compiling, converting and decompiling) as well as a Nightfire and Gearcraft model directory panel and a status box at the bottom.

Once you have entered correct file/folder directories, you can click the button at the bottom right of the tab page to carry out the function.
