“Rbxlx to rojo” can’t export even 5% of scripts in my game, so I finally made a replacement for it
A single “rbxlx to visual studio code” script to rule them all
It is very simple but does it’s job 100%
Also, it’s written in c++ cause i aint touching lua io lib fr
You have to create all the folders beforehand though, there’s no good way to create folders before c++17 so i dont bother
The code, its like 120 lines, really not much

Example of using the script
Settings
if you want to change output types, or choose other instance types to parse (you can parse models, cframes, and a lot of stuff btw), you can by tweaking the main function based on jo needs
this is where output settings are (i dont like fancyness just use your damn console)
alright boys that’s it enjoy i hope someone will use this instead of writing their own parser like i did
