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.
- --md5=file
-
Write an md5sum of the resulting grf to <file>.
- --debug | -d
-
Print a dump of the AST to stdout.
- --version
-
Print programme's version number and exit.
- --help | -h
-
Print usage information.
- --stack | -s
-
Dump stack when an error occurs.
- -M
-
Output a rule suitable for make describing the graphics dependencies of the main grf file (requires input file or --grf)
- --MF=file
-
When used with -M, specifies a file to write the dependencies to
- --MT=file
-
Target of the rule emitted by dependency generation (requires -M)
- --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=num
-
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'.
- --quiet
-
Disable all warnings. Errors will be printed normally.
- --cache-dir=dir
-
Cache files are stored in directory <dir> [default: .nmlcache].
- --clear-orphaned
