ProtocolZero

Converts .fbmod files to .fbproject for Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2.

If you've ever wanted to crack open a compiled Frosty mod and see what's inside, or pull it into Frosty Editor to tweak it yourself, that's what this does. Supports fbmod v1 through v5 (new format), handles EBX/RES/Chunk/Bundle resources, and resolves bundle hashes against your game install if you point it at one.
