Tools

Every tool ghilana serves, as tools/list gives them (ghilana.exe --describe prints them); generated from the code. None needs the game.

Tool	What
atmosphere	A level’s sky as its layout (.arl) has it.
conflicts	Says which copy of a resource the game takes, and every copy of it in the order the game looks for it (with each copy’s priority, and why the game does not have one where it does not), for one resourc
cutscene	A cutscene decoded.
environment	What ghilana is serving.
extract	Writes resources out of the game’s archives into a folder of yours, by name or pattern, for a tool that wants the files themselves.
level	A level’s layout (.arl) and its rooms (.rml).
mod_pack	Packs files into one for the game.
model	Says what a model is made of, from its hierarchy (.mmh) and the mesh file (.msh) it names.
model_copy	Writes a model under a new name.
model_export	Writes a model as glTF 2.0 (.gltf and .bin) into a folder of yours, for Blender's built-in glTF import.
model_import	Writes a model edited in Blender back as the game’s files.
query	Searches every resource of a type across the install by its fields.
references	What a resource names and what names it.
resource	Reads one resource and answers what it holds.
resources	Finds resources by name across every source of the install.
snapshot_diff	Compares two snapshots and says what differs.
stage	A stage (.stg) a cutscene or a conversation’s line is set on.
strings	Turns string ids (strrefs, as templates, tables and conversations hold them) into the game’s text, and text into string ids, over the talk tables the game searches, in its order.
table	Reads one of the game’s data tables merged the way the game merges it (M2DA).
table_rows	Writes a table of new rows for one the game merges from every file of its prefix (apr_base and apr_*, the appearances).

template_edit	Writes a template (.utc creature, .uti item, .utp placeable…) under a new name with fields changed.
