XNBLib

XNBLib is the library behind XNBE, my XNB decompiler. It allows easy asset decompilation for all the formats that both XNA amd MonoGame support.

Supported Formats

• Images (output as PNG)
• Audio (output as WAV)
• SpriteFontTexture (output as PNG)

More planned!

Usage

1. Import the library into your project.
2. Instantiate the Exporter class.
3. Pass a string array of paths to XNB files into ExportFile().
4. (Optional) Also pass in a string that points to an output folder.
5. (Optional) Subscribe to the OnStatusUpdate event to get console output as a string.
6. (Optional) Subscribe to the OnCompleted event to do something when XNBLib has finished.
7. Run() the Exporter and wait for the files to decompile!

Examples

1

var exporter = new Exporter(new [] { "C:\\path\\to\\file.xnb" });
exporter.Run();

After this, your decompiled files will be placed in the same folder as their XNB counterparts.

2

var exporter = new Exporter(new [] { "C:\\path\\to\\file.xnb" }, "C:\\output");
exporter.OnStatusUpdate += Exporter_OnStatusUpdate;
exporter.Run();

...

void Exporter_OnStatusUpdate(string status)
{
    Console.WriteLine("[XNBLib] " + status);
	// You can also leave this method blank to mute any console output.
}

After this, your decompiled files will be placed in C:/output and [XNBLib] will be appended to the start of any console output.

Live Example

XNBExporter is a console application I developed to showcase XNBLib. Check it out here!
