Hello everyone,
I would like to share the first public release of SKLtron, a new tool for exploring and editing Urban Assault SKL/SKLT assets:
SKLtron started as a simple viewer and gradually evolved into a modern wireframe editor focused on Urban Assault asset formats.
Current features include:
- SKL/SKLT loading
- 2D wireframe editing
- 3D wireframe preview
- Vertex editing
- Add/Delete Vertex
- Link/Delete Links
- Undo/Redo
- Auto Align helpers
- Save and Save As support
- Backup creation when overwriting files
- Parsing diagnostics and warnings
One of the most interesting discoveries made during development is that many HUD and wireframe assets are not stored as simple 2D outlines, but as regular SKLT geometry using POO2/POL2 data. SKLtron can edit these assets directly.
The project is still in an early stage and Urban Assault asset formats are actively being researched. Future work may include BASE, ILBM and ANM format support as our understanding of the asset pipeline improves.
As always, feedback, testing and format information are welcome.
Have fun! ![]()
