## What it is
UABE (Asset Bundle Extractor) is a Windows desktop editor for Unity .assets and AssetBundle files, supporting export/import of textures, text, audio clips, and meshes via plugins. It can also build standalone mod installers from asset changes.

## Use cases
- extract textures from unity asset bundles
- edit unity .assets files
- export unity meshes to obj or dae
- convert unity audio clips to wav
- create mod installers for unity games
- view and modify unity game assets

## When to choose
- you need to edit or extract assets from Unity 3.4 through 2021.3 games on Windows
- you want to build standalone mod installers from asset modifications

## When to avoid
- you need active support or newer Unity versions - use the maintained fork UABEA instead
- you need a cross-platform or Linux tool
- your project requires a permissively licensed dependency chain without proprietary SDKs like FMOD or PVRTexTool
