🚀 Key Capabilities & Features

1. Smart Localization Merging

• []Multi-Language Support + fallback: Unlike older tools that only handle English, this program scans for all localization PAKs (e.g., French_xml.pak, English_xml.pak, Czech_xml.pak, etc)

  []XML Node Merging: It extracts XML files from localization archives, parses them, and merges the XML trees in memory. This ensures that strings from Mod A and Mod B appear in the game simultaneously

  []Memory Optimization: Merging happens in RAM; the tool creates the final Localization/.pak files directly without writing thousands of temporary XML files to the disk

2. Advanced Data Handling (PAKs & Loose Files)

• []Loose File Packing (zzz_merged_logic.pak):

  []The tool detects "loose" files (raw .xml, .dds, .tbl files sitting in folders) that are not inside a .pak

  []It automatically packs them into a new archive named zzz_merged_logic.pak.

  []Priority Logic: The zzz_ prefix ensures this archive loads last by the CryEngine/KCD2 engine, guaranteeing that your loose file overrides take precedence over vanilla data or other packed mods.

[]Smart Deduplication:

• []

[]Existing PAK Management:

• []Existing .pak files found in source mods are copied to the output.

  []Collision Avoidance: Implemented automatically by renaming with the addition of a prefix (mod folder name).

3. Mod Manifest Generation

• []Automatically generates a valid mod.manifest XML file.

  []Allows custom metadata input via the GUI: Name, Mod ID, Description, Author, and Version.

  []Automatically timestamps the creation date in ISO 8601 UTC format.

4. User Experience & Safety

• []Exclusion Masks: Supports wildcard filtering (e.g., _) to exclude backup folders, hidden files, or specific mods from the merge process

  []GUI Validation: Prevents running the merge if critical paths are missing or fields are empty

  []Safety Checks: Warns the user if the output directory is not empty to prevent accidental data loss

• Deterministic Order: Mods are processed in alphabetical order to ensure consistent results every time you build
