Evt Script Assembler

An assembler for Super Paper Mario text evt scripts (can support TTYD with minor edits)

Assembling

Either run main.py and it will prompt you to enter the path, or use the command line arguments (recommended)

--infile path, -i path

Path to the text file containing the evt script to be assembled

--outfile path, -o path

Path to the file to store the result to (will print to console if not specified, not recommended)

--symbol name, -s name

Sets the symbol name for the array created (ignored for binary format)

--map path, -m path

Path to the symbol map to look up named symbol operands from

--binary, -b

Makes the output plain binary (or hex if printing to console) instead of a C/C++ array

Scripting

Only official instruction names are supported (ie. not ttyd-asm's, although that can be changed with minor edits) and the unnoficial name end_script has been given to opcode 2

The format for each line is "instruction operand1, operand2, operand3, ... final operand" - splitting is done based on the spaces, so commas are optional, and any extra whitespace is ignored (including indentation and blank lines)

A hash can be used to comment out the rest of a line

Potential Update Plans

• TTYD support
• Pre-processor stuff (basic math expressions, name definitions)
• ttyd-asm instruction name support
