Will this work with X Zouna game?

Probably not out of the box. Most Zouna games have similarities so you can probably get it to work with some modifications. I have no plans to work on any games besides FUEL so please do not ask me to add support for your game. I am happy to answer any questions you have but I will not do the work for you.

How do I use X?

Each project has a README.md file with usage instructions and links to further resources. If you have a question not answered by either of those then open an issue on the project with your question so I can add the information and help future users.

What is the difference between the Read the Docs and FMTK Wiki?

The Read the Docs has well formatted, verified, and high level information for mod developers and FMTK users that don't need to know the in depth complex information that FMTK developers need. The FMTK Wiki has in depth notes about the file formats and program internals necessary for building the format that FMTK mods are developed on. Since the FMTK Wiki is just my personal notes, it is largely composed of observations and not verified information, thus it is ever-changing and I have not taken time to format it for high level consumption.

Why does every repository in the FMTK family use a different language/toolchain?

This endeavor started as, and continues as, a learning exercise for me. If I stuck with what I'm best at, C++, then progress probably would have been faster but I would not have learned nearly as much as I have. There is also an element of, "right tool for the job." There's no denying that using Rust with binrw + serde has accelerated the development of bff immensely.

Why did you wait 11 years to start modding this game?

I was 8 years old when this game was released and did not have the required dedication or skill to do what I have done now. :) All joking aside, I simply was not always as interested in reverse engineering as I am now.

What's the story behind the logo?

Read the Logo Lore entry.

Why Is the Wiki Formatted the Way That It Is?

The formatting style of this wiki is largely stolen from the Chum World wiki.
