Usage

Prerequisites: you need the original game files. The game runs well in DOSBox on modern machines.

Exporting levels

PirateninselLevelExport.exe export --game-dir=C:\PIRAT --tiled-dir=.\levels

Levels will be converted to Tiled level format and stored in a subdirectory levels. You can now view and edit the levels using Tiled.

Importing levels

PirateninselLevelExport.exe import --game-dir=C:\PIRAT --tiled-dir=.\levels

Levels will be converted back to the game's internal format and stored within the game directory. The original level files are overwritten, so it may be a good idea to back them up before running.

Generate images of levels

PirateninselLevelExport.exe gen-level-images --game-dir=C:\PIRAT --dest-dir=.\level-imgs

All levels will be saved as PNG images in the level-imgs subdirectory.
