Background

The Frostbite Modding Tool (FMT) was born out of necessity when the "Frosty Toolsuite" development team decided not to continue after FIFA 20. Mainly due to the lead developer going to work for DICE.

The original code for this tool was developed from using ILSpy to dump the badly decompiled "Frosty" code into a .NET Framework 4.5 library. This code was then cleaned up, fixed and converted into the FrostySdk library. However, all the "Frosty" User Interface was unusable!

FMT in its infancy was the first tool available to create some fairly simple mods for FIFA 21.

This tool is used & developed for a hobby. It is a great suite of code to learn new C# .NET features and best practices.

• All projects use C# .NET 7 and dependant on each other (i.e. if you attempt to build FrostbiteModdingUI, it will expect the other projects to exist in your file system)

Folders explanation

• FrostbiteModdingUI is the project that generates the User Interface
• Tests is the place for all the "tests" for the Libraries and User Interface
• Libraries consists of the core project "FrostySdk", "FifaLibrary" for Squad file editing, "CSIL" textures editing and "FMT.Controls" WPF Controls for the User Interface
• Plugins consists of each Frostbite game that this solution can support and can be expanded upon by following the framework
