# ire-chknpc(1)

IRE's word editor and tools

Part of [ire-ed(1)](/ire-ed/1.md).

## NAME

ire-ed, ire-chknpc, ire-crypter, ire-resize — IRE's word editor and tools

## SYNOPSIS

**ire-ed** \[*options* \]

**ire-chknpc** \[*no option* \]  {*file1* ... }

**ire-crypter** \[*no option* \]

**ire-resize** \[*no option* \]  {*mapfile* }

## DESCRIPTION

**ire-ed** is the word editor for the  role-playing-game engine **ire**.

**ire-chknpc** does a consistency check on books  and conversation files.  It is mainly useful to detect hyperlinks to  pages that don't exist, and pages that have no hyperlinks.

**ire-crypter** can be use to create encrypted text.  The cypher is a simple alphabet substitution to prevent casual users from   seeing spoilers in the conversation.

**ire-resize** is used to change the size of an IRE   world.  If the map is to be shrunk, it will be trimmed.  If the map is made   larger, the empty areas will be filled with grass (tile 0).  Objects and   rooftiles are also handled correctly (lightmaps SHOULD be, but no   guarantees).

To begin, it may be good to start by editing an existing game   module like **The flat**.

## OPTIONS

**ire-ed** accepts the following options.

- **-game \[path\]**

  Specify the path that contains a game project.

- **-L**

  Show licence and version of program.

- **-?**

  Show other options, mostly usefull for debug purposes.

Without option, **ire-ed** will open a search file window  in which you will have to select the gamedata.ini file included in the game project directory.

## CONFIGURATION FILE

The configuration file editor.ini can be found in /home/\[user's name\]/.ire.
