[h2]Updated Toolset[/h2]
The SkaDE toolset has gotten a major overhaul. I’ve added a bunch of QoL features as well as added in ALL the graphical and audio assets from the core game. Yes you read that right: You can now use all the Skald assets ever created in your projects!
What’s more, I’ve also added a full copy of the main game data on mod.io. This can be used by modders for learning purposes as it allows them to dissect the main game’s data. [url=https://mod.io/g/skald-against-the-bl/m/skade-full-modding-template]Check it out![/url]
