NAME
bi2cf - a map conversion tool for Crimson Fields
SYNOPSIS
bi2cf mapname [-p 1|2] [-f b|1|2|h] [-l] [-t mapname] [-i mapinfo]
[-o outfile] [-d mapdir] [-O destdir] [-q]
bi2cf {-h | -v}
DESCRIPTION
bi2cf is a map conversion tool for Crimson Fields. It takes the data
files of maps from Battle Isle, Battle Isle Data Disk 1 or 2, or
History Line 1914-1918 and converts them into map sources usable with
the cfed(6) map compiler for Crimson Fields. bi2cf can handle both
uncompressed maps and levels crunched with TPWM.
For some units and tiles there are no corresponding counterparts in
Crimson Fields. These cases are mapped to similar ones if available. As
a result some maps will not be as balanced as the originals, others may
be unwinnable, and still others may even fail to compile. If this
happens the map in question needs to be adjusted manually.
OPTIONS
-d mapdir
Set the location of the Battle Isle map files.
-f b|1|2|h
Force map type to Battle Isle / BI Data Disk 1 / BI Data Disk 2 /
History Line, respectively. Use this option when map format
autodetection does not work correctly. Maps from BI Data Disk 1 will
always be detected as standard Battle Isle maps, so you have to use
-f 1 in that case.
-h
Print a usage message on standard output and exit.
-i mapinfo
Set map info message.
-l
Skip last row and column of the map. This is necessary for maps from
the PC version of Battle Isle.
-o outfile
Write map to file outfile. Default file name is mapname.src.
-O destdir
Set target directory for the converted map. This setting is ignored
if a map name was given using the -t option.
-p 1|2
Set default number of players for this map.
-q
Run quietly. Don’t print processing information on standard output.
-t mapname
Set title and file name for the converted map. Default is
maptype-mapname.
-v
Print version information on standard output and exit.
