Description

XML Toolkit is a utility for working with XML and META files.
Designed to automate repetitive XML-based tasks in mod development and ensure clean, consistent file output.

Extracts and injects REL and PTFX data
Sorts and Linearizes files
Parses checks and auto-corrects common syntax and structural errors.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for more functions,
please let me know and I will add it to the toolkit.
The XML Parser will be included in my Car Pack Creator and Weapon Pack Creator to help with errors.

How To Use Data Extractor

Choose which INI you need from the INI Samples
or use a custom format in the ini file.

Extract desired files using Codewalker
Then Sort All Target Files
Extract Data from Target Files
In the Example folder will be the extracted files

In the Remove folder will be the files used to clean.

Add your edits to the example folder.

Then run Clean Data.

After the Target Files are cleaned,
you can now inject the modded extracted files.

How To Use Sort All

File extensions can be set in the INI.

Popup window will ask for Tab size for Linearize:

2 tabs for max linearize
10 tabs for min linearize

For example, try 6 tabs for game config for sorted pool sizes

How To Use XML Parser

Copy META and XML files to the folder.

File extensions can be edited in INI.

Run Parse XML Files.

Choose Log or Move Files.

If Move, the error files will be inside the Debug folder.

Run XML Cleaner to attempt fixing error files.

XML Parse Corrector can fix:

Rebuilds carcols Kits Lights Sirens and Wheels
Rebuilds vehicle layouts files
Fixes XML declarations
Fixes malformed comments
Fixes invalid characters
Fixes junk data
Fixes mismatched and typo tags
Fixes root tags
Fixes self-closed tags

I have parse corrected thousands of downloaded
random car packs and have found hundreds of errors.
If there is an error this can’t fix, please send me the file.
