# lgc-pg(1)

Converter Tool for original Panzer General® Data Files

## NAME

lgc-pg - Converter Tool  for original Panzer General® Data Files

## SYNOPSIS

**lgc-pg** \[-s SOURCE\] \[-d DEST\] \[--defpal\] \[--custom\] \[-n NAME\] \[-i ID\] \[-t TACICONS\]\

## DESCRIPTION

LGC-PG is a simple tool to convert the original Panzer General® Data into LGeneral Data Files. It requires a graphical desktop environment for the conversion.

## OPTIONS

- **-s**

  You always need to specify the source directory (which contains the original data or a custom scenario).

- **-d**

  This specifies the destination path that contains the LGeneral data struct. (usually /usr/share/games/lgeneral)

- **--defpal**

  This one is optional and forces all PG graphics to use the default palette. Usually you won't need this but if a custom scenario you converted offers some strange graphics it might be due to a corrupted palette and the default one may provide better results.

- **--custom**

  If you convert a custom scenario you should add this and the following options.

- **-n**

  This is the scenario's file name and default title.

- **-i \<ID\>**

  This is the \<ID\> in the source file name (game\<ID\>.scn). If you do not specify an ID the default is O.

- **-t \<TACICONS\>**

  If custom tactical icons are involved (scenario offers a TACICONS.SHP)this is the name of the graphical file. If this option is not provided it defaults to \<NAME\>.bmp.

## EXAMPLES

- 1\) Converts all data from CD-ROM

  - lgc-pg -s /mnt/windows/DAT -d /usr/share/games/lgeneral

  - 2\) Converts a custom scenario

  - lgc-pg -s /home/jones/newstuff/dunk -d /usr/share/games/lgeneral --custom -n Dunkirk -i 44
