MHW GUI Editor

An editor for the MHW GUI files (.gui)

In its current state it is not much more than a glorified 010 Editor template with some convenience features such as a texture viewer and a proper object tree. (There are a couple more things ofc)

Usage

Setup

Set your chunk and nativePC directories in the settings menu (Tools > Options). This lets the editor load textures and display them. If a texture is present in your nativePC, then that texture will be displayed instead of the one in the chunk directory.

Note: "Chunk directory" refers to the directory where you extracted the chunks.

To start editing

File > Open > Select a .gui file

Features

• Editing of these GUI properties
  • Animations
  • Objects
  • Sequences
  • ObjectSequences
  • InitParams
  • Params
  • Instances
  • FontFilters
• A texture viewer and parameter editor

Building

Install the following packages using vcpkg:

./vcpkg install imgui[core,dx11-binding,win32-binding,docking-experimental] fmt spdlog --triplet=x64-windows-static

Then build the project in Visual Studio.

Todo

• Allow editing the rest of the GUI properties
• Allow inserting new objects without breaking the file
• Allow inserting new textures without breaking the file
• Add a preview window (maybe, would be cool but would need full understanding of the file)
