NAME

     NMLC -- A compiler from NML code to NFO and/or GRF files.

SYNOPSIS

     nmlc [options] [file]

OPTIONS

     -c 	 Crop extraneous transparent blue from real sprites.

     -u 	 Save real sprites uncompressed to GRF files. This saves a lot of time during encoding but it's not recommended when creating a
		 file for distribution since it makes the output file substantially bigger.

     --grf=file  Write output in GRF format to <file>.

     --nfo=file  Write output in NFO format to <file>.

     --nml=file  Write output in NML format to <file>.

     --output=file | -o file
		 Write output to <file>. The output type is detected from the extension of the filename. It must be one of nfo, nml or grf.

     --debug | -d
		 Print a dump of the AST to stdout.

     --help | -h
		 Print usage information.

     --stack | -s
		 Dump stack when an error occurs

     --custom-tags=file | -t file
		 Load custom tags from <file> [default: custom_tags.txt]

     --lang-dir=dir | -l dir
		 Load language files from directory <dir> [default: lang]

     --default-lang=file
		 The default language is stored in <file> [default: english.lng]

     --sprites-dir=dir | -a dir
		 Store 32bpp sprites in directory <dir> [default: sprites]

     --start-sprite=file
		 Set the first sprite number to write (do not use except when you output nfo that you want to include in other files).

     --palette=palette | -p palette
		 Force nml to use the palette <pal> [default: ANY]. Valid values are 'DOS', 'WIN', 'ANY'.

GRFCodec(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       GRFCodec(1)

NAME

     GRFCodec -- A tool to convert a GRF file into graphics files and meta data, and vice versa.

SYNOPSIS

     grfcodec [-sv] [-d | -e] [options] GRF-file [Directory]

	      <GRF-File> denotes the .GRF file you want to work on, e.g. TRG1.GRF

	      <Directory> is where the individual sprites should be saved. If omitted, they will default to a subdirectory called sprites/.

OPTIONS

     -? 	 Display the help message.

     -e 	 Encode a GRF file. The GRF-file to pass is the file where to encode to. The source of the GRF-file, i.e. the .nfo, will be looked
		 for in sprites/GRF-file.nfo.  All graphics files will be searched for relative from the location of the GRF-file.

     -d 	 Decode a GRF file. The GRF-file to pass is the file to decode. The result will be in sprites/GRF-file.nfo and
		 sprites/GRF-file.png.

     -s 	 Silences the progress output in interactive mode

     -v 	 Display the version.

     Options for decoding:

     -w num	 Write spritesheets files with the given width (default 800, minimum 16)

     -h num	 Split spritesheets when they reach this height (default no limit, minimum 16)

     -b num	 Organize sprites in boxes of this size (default 16)

     -o ssf	 Sets the format of generated spritesheets.  See -o ? for a list.

     -p pal	 Use this palette instead of the default.  See -p ? for a list.

     -t 	 Disable decoding of plain text characters as strings.

     -x 	 Disable production of unquoted escape sequences.

     -xx	 Disable production of both quoted and unquoted escape sequences.

		 This has the side effect of producing a version 6 .nfo, instead of a version 7 .nfo.

     -X 	 List sprite numbers in the image file in hex.

     Options for encoding:

     -c 	 Crop extraneous transparent blue from real sprites

     -u 	 Save uncompressed data (probably not a good idea)

     -q 	 Suppress warning messages

     -g num	 Create a GRF file with the given container version. Valid versions are 1 and 2, where the latter allows bigger sprites, larger
		 sounds, and multiple zoom levels and bit depths for the sprites.

     -n 	 Try both compression algorithms and use the most efficient. This might cause trouble when loading the NewGRF in TTDPatch.

     Options for both encoding and decoding:

     -m num	 Apply colour translation to all sprites except character-glyphs.

     -M num	 Apply colour translation to all sprites.

		 If both of these are specified, only the last is obeyed.  -m ? or -M ? for a list of colour translations.
