What is a DRS archive?

Age of Empires uses a home-grown format ("DRS") to store palettes, sprites, and audio.

This format is conceptually similar to tar which contains other files but does not perform compression.

Building

You must have the Rust toolchain installed (which includes cargo).

cargo build --release

The output binary will be written to target/release/drs-studio.

You can invoke this directly or put it somewhere on your shell's $PATH.

Running
