Arc Hammer is a converter tool for Dark Forces file formats.
The main executable has a command-line interface and a GUI for converting DF files to/from more common formats.
Additionally, the libraries for each file format can be used as dependencies in other projects. They can be included statically in D projects, or built as dynamic libraries with a C interface for use with other programming languages.
| DF format | Import formats | Export formats |
|---|---|---|
| 3DO Mesh | See ASSIMP list | Wavefront OBJ |
| PAL Palette | - | Gimp GPL |
| BM Texture | - | PPM P6 |
| GOB Archive | - | - |
- Install DMD (or another D compiler), DUB, and GTK+ binaries (see here for a Windows installer).
- Install ASSIMP (on Windows, put the DLLs in the archammer/bin/ folder where Arc Hammer will be built).
- Open a terminal/command prompt in the archammer/ folder (containing dub.json) and type
dubordub --build=release. DUB will download the dependencies and build the executable.
