lgc-pg − Converter Tool for original Panzer General® Data Files
lgc-pg [−s SOURCE] [−d DEST] [−−defpal] [−−custom] [−n NAME] [−i ID] [−t TACICONS]
LGC-PG is a simple tool to convert the original Panzer General® Data into LGeneral Data Files. It requires a graphical desktop environment for the conversion.
−s |
You always need to specify the source directory (which contains the original data or a custom scenario). |
||
−d |
This specifies the destination path that contains the LGeneral data struct. (usually /usr/share/games/lgeneral) |
−−defpal
This one is optional and forces all PG graphics to use the default palette. Usually you won’t need this but if a custom scenario you converted offers some strange graphics it might be due to a corrupted palette and the default one may provide better results.
−−custom
If you convert a custom scenario you should add this and the following options.
−n |
This is the scenario’s file name and default title. |
−i <ID>
This is the <ID> in the source file name (game<ID>.scn). If you do not specify an ID the default is O.
−t <TACICONS>
If custom tactical icons are involved (scenario offers a TACICONS.SHP)this is the name of the graphical file. If this option is not provided it defaults to <NAME>.bmp.
