Toolkit for editing various FE games.

Paragon

Paragon is a toolkit for editing and creating editors for FE13, FE14, and FE15.

Installation

Paragon releases should require no dependencies. Download the release for your operating system and run.

Building

Paragon requires Rust and Python 3.8.x. You will also need to install the python packages listed in requirements.txt. More on this below. If you want to build a standalone executable, you should also install PyInstaller.

1. Install the virtualenv package for Python. This is used to create an environment for building.
2. If you have not already done so, create a virtual environment for the project by running virtualenv venv in the root directory of the project. This should produce a folder named "venv".
3. Enter the virtual environment by running the appropriate command for your operating system. In Windows Powershell, for example, the command is "./venv/Scripts/activate.ps1".
4. Install the required python packages. You can do this conveniently by running pip install -r requirements.txt from the root directory of the project.
5. Generate templated modules. On Windows, run python scripts/render_templates.py. On Unix, python3 scripts/render_templates.py.
6. To build the Rust backend, run maturin develop --release from the root directory of the project. This will produce a "target" folder and a "pyd" file in the paragon folder.
7. If the install succeeds, you can run the main script with the command python paragon/ui/main.py.

Tools Using Paragon
