v2.0.0 ALPHA 4

Caution

This is an early build of the new Rust version of Harmony VPK Tool and may not work as expected.
It is recommended to use a stable version.

The entirety of Harmony VPK Tool has been rewritten using Rust + Tauri with performance and memory use as key priorities.

New features

Core

• All new Rust backend, using the sourcepak library.
• Support for VPK version 1 (Alien Swarm, Dota 2, L4D, L4D2, Portal 2, SFM).
• No longer uses electron or Node.js, reducing footprint of application and memory use.

UI

• Selective file extraction.
• Drag and drop for VPK files (only on main screen).

Improvements

• Memory usage massively decreased while extracting.
• Extract speed increased by ~2x.
• Executable size reduced by up to 10x.
• UI follows system theme.
• Audio playback stops when the preview is closed.
• Log files created during extraction.
