SRO Archive Explorer
Standalone Silkroad Online PK2 archive browser, viewer, and reverse-engineering tool

GitLab Repository

Description

Archive Explorer is a desktop inspection tool for Silkroad Online client archives. It opens PK2 archives directly, lets you browse and search the archive tree, previews many legacy Silkroad formats, and helps inspect original game data without relying on external PK2 command-line tools.

This is mainly built for asset research, tooling, and reverse-engineering workflows. It is useful for checking models, textures, particles, maps, dungeons, skill data, UI files, text tables, and archive contents before moving confirmed behavior into a runtime client or exporter.
