Changelog

All notable changes to RBX Asset Extractor are documented in this file.

[v3.0.1 OVERHAUL MP2] - 2026-06-28

Changed

  • Restored automatic startup version checks against the hosted v.txt.
  • Added a custom update prompt that can immediately download and install a newer release.
  • Unified startup and About-page update checks around the same updater implementation.

[v3.0.0 OVERHAUL MP2] - 2026-06-28

WPF migration

  • Established the .NET 10 WPF application under RBX-Audio-Extractor2 as the canonical RBX Asset Extractor project.
  • Replaced the legacy generated WinForms surface with a custom graphite, violet, and blue desktop design system.
  • Added compact sidebar navigation, feature workspaces, consistent cards, responsive progress reporting, and centralized activity logs.
  • Split the new application into independent views for overview, audio, images, meshes, cache files, supplemental assets, maintenance, and about/update functions.
  • Moved the Roblox SQLite cache readers and mesh decoder into the new project's own Core folder.

Features transferred

  • Added direct OGG and MP3 cache scanning, filtering, playback, seeking, volume control, and selected/bulk export.
  • Added PNG, JPEG, BMP, and WebP scanning with in-memory previews and selected/bulk export.
  • Added Roblox mesh discovery, native WPF 3D previews, and selected/bulk OBJ export.
  • Added RBXM, KTX, and KTX2 filtering and export.
  • Added thumbnail previews, font extraction, and JSON/XML/HLS metadata inspection and export.
  • Added cache size reporting, cache-folder access, confirmed cache deletion, and optional two-stage Roblox/Studio process termination.
  • Added update checks, creator messages, GitHub access, and activity history.
  • Preserved direct read-only SQLite scanning and avoided the legacy mass temporary-file dump approach.

UI fixes

  • Restored per-track audio timestamps and longest-to-shortest ordering without returning to temporary cache dumps.
  • Fixed blank supplemental metadata names by deriving readable labels with unique cache-key suffixes.
  • Fixed metadata preview rendering and added explicit loading, failure, and stale-selection handling.
  • Fixed audio-player crashes when seeking to the exact end of a track or beyond decoder-reported duration boundaries.
  • Prevented result tables from flashing white during scans and exports by blocking interaction without activating WPF's native disabled-list appearance.
  • Replaced the hardcoded WPF title badge and About version with the version embedded by the project build.
  • Added vexthatprotogen.com to the About page and replaced all links to the previous legacy domain.
  • Replaced the remaining light Windows control chrome with dark templates for combo boxes, selected tabs, GridView headers, sliders, scrollbars, and checkboxes.
  • Replaced unsupported title-bar font glyphs with resolution-independent vector minimize, maximize, and close icons.
  • Replaced every native Windows message box with a themed modal supporting OK, cancel, yes/no, warning, error, question, keyboard, and owner-window behavior.
  • Restored the startup creator-message popup using the custom modal while preserving the creator-message card and refresh action on the About page.

Packaging and security

  • Configured self-contained win-x64 single-file publishing with native-library self-extraction.
  • Added a repository-level .NET 10 SDK selection for the canonical WPF solution.
  • Replaced the System.Data.SQLite meta-package with System.Data.SQLite.Core, removing vulnerable transitive System.Data.SqlClient packages.
  • Added repository exclusions for Visual Studio state and generated bin/obj output.

[2.0.15] - 2026-06-27

Changed

  • Split the 1,883-line Form1.vb into focused MainForm.*.vb partial-class files.
  • Separated mesh, cache asset, supplemental asset, audio, image, update, maintenance, logging, window, and file utility responsibilities.
  • Relocated feature state fields into their owning partial classes.
  • Removed empty event handlers and unused legacy fields.
  • Reduced Form1.vb to the core form startup and shared state.
  • Marked split partial-class files as code-only so Visual Studio opens only Form1.vb in the WinForms Designer.
  • Migrated the executable download, version check, and creator-message update endpoints to https://rbxextr.vexthatprotogen.com/.

[2.0.1] - 2026-06-27

Fixed

  • Embedded native Magick.NET, SQLite, and SNI libraries into the published single-file executable.
  • Removed the startup DLL downloader and its dependency on the hosted Netlify files.
  • Native libraries are now extracted locally by the .NET bundle loader without an internet connection.
  • Added project attribution and provenance metadata to exported OBJ files.

[v2.0.0 OVERHAUL MP1] - 2026-06-27

Performance

  • Replaced the slow Full Game Audio and Full Game Images extraction loops with direct, read-only SQLite cache scanning.
  • Scan only short payload headers while discovering files instead of loading every complete asset.
  • Added support for assets stored inline in rbx-storage.db and externally in the rbx-storage directory.
  • Removed the mass temporary-file dump from full-cache audio and image workflows.
  • Assets are now loaded only when previewed, played, or exported.
  • Added background scanning and exporting to keep the interface responsive.
  • Added batched list updates and throttled progress reporting.
  • Bulk exports reuse database connections and stream external payloads with larger buffers.

Audio

  • Added direct Roblox cache detection for OGG Vorbis and MP3 audio.
  • Added MP3 playback through the existing NAudio audio system.
  • Cached audio now streams from memory without temporary copies.
  • Added format-aware filenames, extensions, and save dialogs.
