lgc-pg(1)
Converter Tool for original Panzer General® Data Files
SYNOPSIS
lgc-pg
[-s SOURCE] [-d DEST] [--defpal] [--custom] [-n NAME] [-i ID] [-t TACICONS]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
- -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.
