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.

       --debug | -d
               Print a dump of the AST to stdout.

       --help | -h
               Print usage information.

       --stack | -s
               Dump stack when an error occurs

       --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=file
               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'.
