WoomLink

A tool for converting Splatoon 2 XLink binary files (ELink/SLink) to a human readable text format and back.

Based on WoomLink by shadowninja108 -- a WIP reproduction of Nintendo's XLink library. This fork adds a full text round-trip converter (binary to text to binary) with a clean text format suitable for diffing and editing.

Building

dotnet build WoomLink -c "Release (Blitz)"

Usage

Convert binary to text

WoomLink convert <input.belnk|bslnk> [--output <file.txt>] [--actors <ActorDB.yaml>]

• --output sets the output text file path (defaults to stdout).
• --actors provides an ActorDB YAML file to resolve user hashes to readable actor names in the output.

Example:

WoomLink convert ELink2DB.belnk --output ELink2DB.txt --actors ActorDB.yaml

Rebuild text to binary

WoomLink rebuild <input.txt> [--output <file.belnk|bslnk>]

• --output sets the output binary file path (defaults to input path with .bin extension).

Example:

WoomLink rebuild ELink2DB.txt --output ELink2DB.belnk

Legacy mode

Runs the original WoomLink print logic for a specific user or all users:

WoomLink legacy <elink-file> <slink-file> [--user <name>]
