Documentation
# msg-tool


msg-tool is a command-line tool for exporting, importing, packing, and unpacking script files.

## How to Compile


```bash
git clone https://github.com/lifegpc/msg-tool
cargo build --release  # Build with all features enabled
cargo build --release --no-default-features --features=circus  # Build with only specific features enabled. See supported types below.
```

## Basic Usage

### Extract messages from script files

```bash
msg-tool export <input> [output]
```
Some script files cannot be detected automatically. You can specify the type of script file with the `--script-type` / `-t` option.
```bash
msg-tool export -t <script-type> <input> [output]
```
If the script file is an image file, you can specify the output type of the image file with the `--image-type` / `-i` option.
```bash
msg-tool export -i webp <input> [output]
```
If the script file is an archive file, it will be unpacked and will try to extract messages/images/audio from the unpacked files. If you don't want to extract, please use the `unpack` command.

If the input is a directory, all script files in the directory will be processed. (The `-r` / `--recursive` option is needed if you want to process files in subdirectories.)

### Import data into script files

```bash
msg-tool import <input> <output> <patched>
```


### Pack files into an archive

```bash
msg-tool pack <input> -t <archive-type> [output]
```

### Unpack an archive file

```bash
msg-tool unpack <input> [output]
```
Some archive files cannot be detected automatically. You can specify the type of archive file with the `--script-type` / `-t` option.

### Create a new script file

```bash
msg-tool create -t <script-type> <input> <output>
```
