Nitro Converter

This tool is used to generate .nitro bundled assets for use with the Nitro Client

Configuration

You must rename configuration.json.example to configuration.json

The simplest way to set your configuration is by changing the external.variables.url option. The converter will pull all urls from this file if the main configuration has them set to null or ""

You may set any of the urls to a local path on your system or a remote url. A local path is recommended as the tool will run a lot quicker for downloading.

Running the converter

Make sure you run yarn install before first use.

To run the converter open a new terminal / console window in the main converter directory.

The converter has a few different start commands:

key	value
yarn start	Will download and convert assets as set in the config
yarn start:bundle	Will bundle decompressed .nitro assets (json / png)
yarn start:extract	Will extract .nitro assets which can be used for editing
yarn start:convert-swf	Will convert inputted .swf assets to .nitro

When you run start:bundle | start:extract | start:convert-swf for the first time it will automatically generate a folder structure for placing your assets for conversion.

The converter will skip any assets that already exist but will always reconvert your XMLs / copy your JSONS to the gamedata folder to ensure you always have the latest copy.
