This project was a proof of concept and is now being superseded by AOEMods.Essence which should be used instead.

This project provides a library, a command line interface too and a graphical user interface for reading Age of Empire 4 Relic Chunky archives such as .rgd and .rrtex.

Made with C# and .NET 6. The GUI is made with WPF.

The project is mostly in a proof of concept stage right now. It can read all RGD files of AOE4 that I tried. However there are no tests yet and the code is messy.
