You can specify what compression method to use.

You can also specify the tool explicitly to ignore automatic detection: Normally the tools will output to the directory 'out/' relative to the input file, if no directory is specified, some tools output to a file instead of a directory. Use the -o or -output flag to specify the output file, if it's a directory, it's strongly recommended to append / to the filename for clarity. Use -list to display a list of all supported tools. Some tools take additional parameters, use -help to display extra arguments for that tool. In many cases, the tools will output to the directory 'out/' relative to the input file, if no directory is specified. You can specify extract or compress before the filename to hint the tool what activity you want to perform. Normally, all arguments except the input file(s) can be skipped. You can access all tools through the command line interface using the following syntax: If all is well, advance to the next page to finish the guide! Enjoy your newly compressed/extracted data files! Special care to note that some input files can cause the entire application to crash as many tools don't check too well for mal-formatted input files. If an error occured, you can go back to adjust settings. This can take a while and if all went well, you can continue on to the next page. If you want to configure bitrate and quality settings manually, check the advanced options checkbox, and you can change this at the next page.Īfter this, the tool will run. Next page asks audio for audio format to use, in most cases you can leave this at the default setting. Instead it affects the default audio settings to be optimized for the platform selected, as support for some are very poor on certain platform (and will make ScummVM run very slow). Note that this does not make the output files incompatible with other platforms. This is the platform that you are running ScummVM on, not the platform you are running the tools on. Next, you will be asked for target platform. Since ScummVM usually expects a specific filename for compressed archives, you should not change the default after extraction completes. Extraction tools usually generate a large amount of output files, while compression tools generate a single archive. Now select the output directory, note that the directory must exist. In this case, the correct tool (compress_queen) was automatically detected. In most cases, the tool to be used will be automatically detected, if there are multiple options, you must manually select the correct tool to be used, this is usually obvious from the name of the tool, if you are unsure, check the list of tools below. For example you can run compress_scumm_san on all the SAN file of a game. By selecting Run on all files with the same extension you can automatically run the tool on all the files with the same extension and present in the same directory as the selected input file. Sometime a tool is applied on a single file, but the game may contain many such file. For games that ship on multiple disks, select the first disk on this page, you will be asked for the second disk on the next page. For some games this is obvious as there only is a single data file. You can look in the list below for the expected extension or filename, if you don't know it already. Next select the input file, depending on the tool you are using, this file to be selected differs greatly. If you are compressing Touche data files, you need to select advanced mode and then compress_touche, as the tools do not support selecting the touche directory automatically. Most common usage is to compress files, to do that, simply click Next as compression is the default activity. The recommended way to use the tools are using the tool GUI, run the program tool program.
