Tools for DATA-DICT extraction

These are current tools, through which the contents of a .data file can be extracted with a .dict file.

CTR Studio (recommended)

CTR Studio is developed by the Map Studio Project, and is a culmination of previous tools that have been developed for modding applications, like Toolbox.Core and, most importantly for LM2 modding, the NextLevelLibrary. As the most feature-rich tool of all it is able to extract models and textures, among others. The primary contributor of CTR Studio is KillzXGaming, who is one of the most significant contributors of the LM2 modding community.

LM2L

LM2L was created by hadashisora and is presumably the first ever tool that was able to extract data from Next Level Games' .dict and .data file formats. The tools is able to extract files from a .data file, as well as the textures contained in it.

Data Extractor (under development)

This tool is being developed by Schweini07 as a research project to understand the structures of .dict and .data files. It is currently able to extract files from a .data file, but is planned to to be comparable to the ability of CTR Studio.
