NAME

       scidisasm - Disassembles all script resources into .script files

       sciunpack - A tool for unpacking and converting SCI resource data

DESCRIPTION

       FreeSCI  is  a  portable interpreter for SCI games, such as the Space Quest series (starting with SQ3) or
       Leisure Suit Larry (2 and sequels).

       This man page describes the tools that come with FreeSCI. The  main  executable  (which  you're  probably
       interesed in if you want to play SCI games) is described in sciv(6).

       SCIDISASM

       The  scidisasm  program  disassembles all script resources in SCI resource files in the current directory
       into .script files.

       It takes five optional command line switches: --version prints the  version  number  and  exists;  --help
       displays  a  short  help  message  and exists; --hexdump hex dumps all script resources; --verbose prints
       additional disassembly information; --opcode-size prints opcode size postfixes.

       SCIUNPACK

       sciunpack is a tool  for  unpacking, printing,  and  converting SCI resource data

       Usage: sciunpack [operation] [options] <resource.number>

       Alternatively, the resource type and number can be specified as two seperate options.

       Available resources are: view, pic, script, text, sound, memory,  vocab,  font,  cursor,  patch,  bitmap,
       palette, cdaudio, audio, sync, sync, message, map, heap.

       If * is specified instead of <number>, all resources of given type will be unpacked.

       sciunpack supports the following operations:

       --unpack, -U
              This is the default action; it unpacks the specified resource.

       --list, -L
              Lists all available resources.

       --words, -W
              Prints all vocabulary words understood by the parser. See

       --objects, -O
              Outputs the full object hierarchy

       --vocab, -V
              This  operation  goes  through  several relevant 'vocab' resources, interprets their contents, and
              prints them sequentially. First, all  selector  (variable/function)  names  are  print,  then  all
              opcodes,  followed  by  the  names of all kernel functions, and finally the class ID/script lookup
              table.

       --version
              Prints the version number.

       --help, -h
              Displays a short help message.

       Also, there are several options available:

       --verbose, -v
              Enables additional output.

       --convert, -c
              Forces sound resources to be converted to General MIDI on some platforms, and script resources  to
              be dissected.

       --output-file <file>, -o<file>
              Selects output file file.

       --gamedir <dir>, -d<dir>
              Read game resources from dir.

       --with-header
              Forces the SCI header to be written (default).

       --without-header
              Prevents the two SCI header bytes from being.  written

       --sort-alpha
              Sorts in alphabetical order when listing words (-W)

       --sort-group
              Sorts by group IDs when listing words (-W)

       As  a  default,  'resource.number'  is  the  output  filename,  unless  conversion  is enabled (-c). With
       conversion, a few resource types are treated specially:

       -      sound resources: will be converted to General MIDI, stored in <number>.midi (this  only  works  on
              GNU libc systems)

       -      script resources: will be dissected and stored in <number>.script

       SCRIPTDUMP

       The  scriptdump  tool  can  be  used to disassemble all selector methods  into  SCI assembly. It takes no
       command line options and reads the resource files from the current directory.

       VOCABDUMP

       This tool can be used to display  kernel function and selector names. It is obsolete.
