# VolvoWrench

This is a tool for analyzing and working with source and goldsource save and demo files. I have been making this tool for quite a while but it is still in heavy development so expect frequent updates. Today is the first “stable” release so that’s why I am only making this post about the tool now.

 ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/7/73f01ca0022dd1d8571ef2389dba7d8d023ed0af.png)

## Features:

- Parsing any source or goldsource engine demo.
- Viewing demo files tick by tick so you can see what is happening in them.
- Hotkey system.
- Renaming demos to the corret naming scheme.

## Download

The whole project is up on GitHub:

> **[GitHub - Traderain/VolvoWrench: Cross engine parser for every VaLVe game!](https://github.com/Traderain/VolvoWrench)**
>
> Cross engine parser for every VaLVe game!

You can get the newest version from [here](https://github.com/Traderain/VolvoWrench/releases).

Currently I won’t have much time developing it but I would like to finish the save parser in 1-2 week. I will update this thread as soon as I do any major update.
