They are not intended for the general audience, and are -only sparsely, if at all, documented. Use at your own risk. You have -been warned :-). - - -agi-palex.py (buddha) ------------- - Tool for extracting palettes from Amiga AGI games' executables. - - -construct-pred-dict.pl, extract-words-tok.pl (sev) --------------------------------------------- - Tools related to predictive input for AGI engine. - - -convbdf -------- - Tool which converts BDF fonts (BDF = Bitmap Distribution Format) to - C++ source. That source, after being slightly tweaked, can be used to - replace or add fonts for the ScummVM GUI. - - There is also a ttf2bdf tool which allows you to convert TrueType - fonts to BDF. - - Hint from SumthinWicked: If you use ttf2bdf, it'll convert all glyphs - to bitmaps, but ScummVM only needs some of them. So you may want to - do your conversion like this: - ttf2bdf -p SIZE -l "32_160" -o FONT.bdf FONT.ttf - where SIZE is replaced by the desired font height. - - -create_drascula (sev) ---------------- - Stores a lot of hardcoded data of Drascula in a data file, based on - the game's original source code. This includes the game's character - map, item locations, several hardcoded arrays used in animations, - room script logic, talk sequence logic and all of the game's texts - (mostly the dialog subtitles) in English, Spanish, German, French - and Italian. This tool is used to create the drascula.dat file. - - -create_hugo (Strangerke) ------------ - Creates hugo.dat file which contains all kinds of static data contained - in original game executable. - - -create_kyradat (LordHoto, athrxx) --------------- - Extracts various static data from the original game executables. - This includes room tables in kyra1, various hardcoded language - strings in both kyra1 and kyra2, script data for the sequence - players of kyra1 and kyra2 and other static data. This tool is used - to create the kyra.dat file. - - -create_lure (dreammaster) ------------ - Extracts various static data from each of the different language - versions of the game executables. This includes character - animations, game scripts, and other static data. This tool creates - the lure.dat file. - - -create_project (LordHoto, Littleboy) --------------- - Creates project files for Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010 and - Code::Blocks out of the configure / Makefile based build system. - It also offers a way to enable or disable certain engines and the use - of external libraries similar to configure. Run the tool without - any arguments for further help. - - -create_toon (Strangerke) ------------ - This tool creates toon.dat, which contains all the game's texts - hardcoded in original game executable. This includes English, French, - German, Russian and Spanish texts. - - -create_translations (criezy) -------------------- - Creates the translations.dat file from po files given as arguments. - The generated files is used by ScummVM to propose a translated GUI. - - -credits.pl ----------- - This perl script contains credits to the many people who helped with - ScummVM, and it is used to create the credits lists that occur in - various places, including the AUTHORS file, the about dialog, and our - web site. - - -dist-scummvm.sh ---------------- - This shell script is used to create source release archives for - ScummVM releases. After tagging a branch for release, you can invoke - it like this: - - ./dist-scummvm.sh scummvm 0.7.1 - - Note #1: This creates .zip, .tar.bz2 and .tar.gz archives in /tmp by - default. To do that it performs a "cvs export" in /tmp first. If you - want to use another location, you can specify it as the thirds param - to the script. - - Note #2: This assumes that our naming conventions for release tags - are being followed. I.e. the tag must be named "release-0-7-1" in - the above example. You can, however, specify an alternate tag as the - fourth param. - - Note #3: Since SF.net anon CVS tends to lag behind developer CVS, if - you just tagged CVS, anon CVS may not yet have this. So if you are - in a hurry, modify the cvsroot in the script to use your dev CVS - account. - - -make-scumm-fontdata (eriktorbjorn) -------------------- - Tool that generates compressed font data used in SCUMM: To get rid of - a few kilobytes of hard-coded font data, we only store how the - French, German, Italian and Spanish fonts differ from the English one. - - -md5table --------- - Used to convert scumm-md5.txt into a SCUMM header file, or - alternatively PHP code for our website. - - -qtable (cyx) -------- - This tool generates the "queen.tbl" file. - - -skycpt (lavosspawn) -------- - This tool generates the "SKY.CPT" file. |
