map decompile

Convert any version of a Croc .MAP file into a JSON file for human editing.

map compile

Compile a JSON file into a version 21 Croc .MAP file.

map convert

Convert any version of a Croc .MAP file into version 21, readable by Croc DE.

• --rebase will offset the door targets by the specified number.

map unwad

Split a PSX MAP%d.wad file into individual .MAP files.

• Will NOT work with the MP%03d_%02d.WAD files.

crocfile dump

Dump a CROCFILE.DIR to JSON for human reading.

crocfile extract

Extract a CROCFILE.DIR and CROCFILE.{DAT,1} pair into the given directory. The directory must exist beforehand.

mod burst2obj

"Burst" a MOD file into separate Wavefront Alias OBJ meshes.

Material handling isn't supported yet.

wad extract

Extract a named file from a given WAD/IDX pair.

• base-name should be given as the WAD/IDX path WITHOUT the extension.
• If output-dir isn't specified, it will write to the current working directory.
• If output-dir is -, then the file contents will be written to stdout.
• Otherwise, the file will be placed in output-dir.

wad extract-all

Extract all files from a given WAD/IDX pair.

• base-name should be given as the WAD/IDX path WITHOUT the extension.
• If output-dir isn't specified, the files will be written to the current working directory.
• Otherwise, the files will be placed in output-dir.

wad dump-index

Dump an IDX file to JSON.

tex convert

Convert a BRender PIX file (texture) to PNG. If multiple textures are contained within the same file, the three-digit index is appended to the file name.

If --key is specified and the texture is a 16-bit format, all pure-black (0, 0, 0) pixels will be marked as completely transparent.

Notes

• Odd padding in PSX maps

  • There was a batch of PSX maps I didn't extract properly. Either I fopen()'d the file without b and Windows added padding, or the iso extraction too messed up.
  • There were sets of 0x0D 0x0A (or CRLF) randomly in there.

• Extract the ISOs with https://github.com/cebix/psximager/

• All 0.12 beta maps convert fine and are either v12_old or v12_old_noambient.

• The .MAP files SLUS-00593, SLPS-01055, and SLES-00593 are identical. They are either normal, or v12

• There are differences between the PSX and PC maps. Don't be alarmed if things look slightly different.
