NAME

       ssf2xml — BioWare SSF to XML converter

SYNOPSIS

       ssf2xml [options] input_file [output_file]

DESCRIPTION

       ssf2xml  converts  BioWare's  SSF  files  into human-readable XML.  SSF are “sound sets”, a list of voice
       lines uttered at certain situations, like attacking, getting hurt or picking a lock.  Each line  consists
       of  an ID (denoting the position of the line within the SSF file), an optional StrRef (refering a textual
       line in a talk table) and an optional filename (which is the sound file  to  play).   Additionally,  each
       line may have a label attached which shows what the purpose of this line is. This label is purely for the
       benefit of the user reading the XML file and is not actually stored within the SSF.

       SSF  files  are used in Neverwinter Nights, Neverwinter Nights 2, Knights of the Old Republic and Knights
       of the Old Republic II.  However, the version of the format used in the latter two do not store any sound
       filenames, only StrRefs.

OPTIONS

       --help
             Show a help text and exit.
       --version
             Show version information and exit.
       input_file
           The SSF file to convert.
       output_file
           The XML file will be written there.  If no output file is specified,  the  XML  data  is  written  to
           stdout.  The encoding of the XML stream is always UTF-8.

EXAMPLES

       Convert the SSF file1.ssf into an XML file:

             $ ssf2xml file1.ssf file2.xml

       Convert the SSF file1.ssf into an XML file on stdout:

             $ ssf2xml file1.ssf
