SLX Studio

SLX Studio is a modding toolset designed for creating and editing SMX, SLP, and DRS files.

Key Features of SLX Studio:

Conversion Tools: Convert SLX to SLP or SMX, and extract SLP or SMX to SLX. Batch processing is also supported.
Format Compatibility: Supports both 8-bit and 32-bit SLP formats, including special support for Terrain, AoE1, AoE1DE SLP, and AoE2DE SMX files.
