Caution
MIDA is a fork of Charm designed solely for Marathon
The tool focuses on providing as much access to the information in the game files as possible, ideal for artists and content preservation.
Caution
- Before you go any further, understand that MIDA IS NOT a datamining tool! While it can access many things in the game files, it's main purpose is focused towards 3D artists, content preservation and learning how the game works!
- Please DO NOT use this tool to spread leaks and spoilers or anything that may break Bungie's TOS. Don't ruin the experience for yourself and others. Uncover things the way they were intended!
- Seeing this tool used for such acts can and will result in fewer and fewer public updates and releases. I enjoy maintaining and updating this for others, don't be the one to ruin it.
You'll first need at least one game installation. MIDA currently supports:
| Version | Description | Where | Main manifest id | Language manifest id |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0.0.0 | Marathon Closed Alpha | Steam, if you got lucky |
- You'll need .NET 8.0 x64 and VC++ Redistributables installed.
Tip
- Middle click tabs to close them.
- In a packages view, you can type in any hash and it will take you to it. No need to look through all the packages.
- If you already have the hash of an Entity (Dynamic), you can press CTRL+D to enter 'Dev' view. Paste the hash into the box and press enter. It will open in a viewer and be exported
If you experience any issue, you can register an issue in this repository. If the program has crashed, it is extremely valuable to provide the charm.log file.
- Textures will not export if the export path contains a period
- UI elements do not scale correctly for any resolution other than 1080p
- Use the Blender Importer addon to simplify and automate importing maps and models into Blender.
The MIDA source code is licensed under GPLv3. All other used code and DLLs are subject to their own licenses. Don't be THAT guy and reupload privated code, which in turn ruins public releases/support for others. You know who you are :)
