progs_dump Monster Prototype

This takes a customized monster entity and creates a "real" entity definition out of it.

This allows the monster customization to work as a prototyping tool to permanently add new monsters to your mod.

Usage

Copy your customized monster from Trenchbroom or directly from your .map into a text file. Name this file what you would like to call your spawn function, for example monster_quadgrunt.txt.

Call pd-monster-prototyper monster_quadgrunt.txt. This will create a new file beside the text file called monster_quadgrunt.txt.qc containing your new spawn function.

You can then add the new file to your progs.src. You can rename the file if you wish.

Building

Run ./gradlew jar to build a jar file for usage with a Java runtime on your system.

Run ./gradlew nativeImage to build a native binary for your system. Note that you will need to follow this guide to get this to function.

TODO

• Allow some way of overwriting parsed fields (for future proofing)
• Add proper cli arg help
• Tests, maybe
• Github Action to build on Linux and Windows
