rpfm

Project Overview

RPFM is a Rust + Qt6 reimplementation of PackFile Manager, one of the best Total War modding tools. It opens, inspects, edits and saves PackFiles for every Total War since Empire: Total War, bundling editors for DB tables, loc files, scripts, animations, portrait settings, rigid models and videos into one interface.

One tool opens every Total War pack — mod without switching apps.

Key Features

• PackFile editing: open, inspect, edit and save pack files across the whole series
• DB table editor: built-in tables editor validated by per-game RON schemas
• Loc editing: view and batch-edit localization files
• Script editing: support for game scripts and LUA-related content
• Animations & models: animation editor, portrait settings and RigidModel handling
• Media formats: view and import proprietary video and audio formats
• Translator tool: produce translation JSONs for the Total War Translation Hub
• UI localization: copy the ftl file in the locale folder to translate the interface

Target Audience

• Total War modders
• Mod translation contributors
• Players researching game data formats
• Linux-playing Total War fans
