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'.
