NMLC — A compiler
from NML code to NFO and/or GRF files.
-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- Remove unused / orphaned items from cache files.
--verbosity=level- Set the verbosity level for informational output [default: 3, max:
4].
