This Command Line Interface (CLI) is a core tool for the Cyberia Network Object Layer Engine, specifically designed for processing, generating, and managing game assets, primarily Object Layer elements like skins, floors, and weapons.
It handles image asset quantization, generates data matrices and color palettes, creates separate render frame documents, and persists the resulting structured data into the game's database with top-level references to render frames and atlas sprite sheets.
What this tool does
The CLI scans the local asset folders (./src/client/public/cyberia/assets/{type}/{id}/{direction}/{frame}), quantizes images to a tile matrix and color palette, creates separate ObjectLayerRenderFrames documents, and persists the resulting object-layer documents with references to your configured MongoDB. It also supports reconstructing a visual PNG from the stored matrix for inspection.
Key features:
- Walks the asset directory structure and processes PNG/GIF files.
- Produces
frame_matrixandmap_colorarrays from images. - Procedurally generates object layers from semantic item-id descriptors with deterministic seeds and temporal coherence.
- Saves processed objects to the
ObjectLayermodel with top-level references toObjectLayerRenderFrames. - Creates separate
ObjectLayerRenderFramesdocuments for render data. - Links ObjectLayers to AtlasSpriteSheet documents via top-level
atlasSpriteSheetId. - Generates unique UUID v4 seeds (via
crypto.randomUUID()) for SHA256 hash uniqueness. - Generates SHA256 hash using
fast-json-stable-stringifyfor deterministic serialization. - Reconstructs PNG frames from stored tile data for debugging.
- Writes static asset PNGs, atlas sprite sheets, and metadata to the conventional directory structure.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
You must have the following installed in your environment:
- Node.js (v24.10.0 recommended)
- npm or yarn
- MongoDB (or access to the configured MongoDB instance)
Installation
npm install -g cyberiaEnvironment Setup
Ensure your required environment variables (e.g., DEFAULT_DEPLOY_ID, DEFAULT_DEPLOY_HOST, DEFAULT_DEPLOY_PATH) are correctly configured, typically in a .env file, to point the CLI to the correct database instance defined in conf.server.json.
Usage
The CLI is executed from the project root via the cyberia.js script.
Process and import object-layer assets
This will iterate asset folders for the given types and store processed objects in MongoDB.
# Process specific types (comma-separated)
cyberia ol --import skin,floor
# Process all recognized types
cyberia ol --import allProcedural generation with --generate
Produces semantically consistent object layers with controlled, reproducible variation and short-term temporal coherence (consecutive frames stay visually consistent). Uses the parametric shape generator and object layer engine under the hood.
# Generate a desert floor tile (single frame, auto seed)
cyberia ol floor-desert --generate
# Full control: 3 frames, explicit seed, density
cyberia ol floor-desert --generate --count 3 --seed fx-42 --frame-index 0 --frame-count 3 --density 0.5
# Grass terrain, sparse, 5 frames
cyberia ol floor-grass --generate --seed meadow-7 --frame-count 5 --density 0.3
# Water surface, dense, high element count
cyberia ol floor-water --generate --seed ocean-1 --count 5 --density 0.8 --frame-count 4
# Stone cobblestone
cyberia ol floor-stone --generate --seed cobble-99 --count 4 --density 0.6
# Lava flow, 3-frame animation
cyberia ol floor-lava --generate --seed magma-3 --frame-count 3 --density 0.7--generate options:
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--seed <str> |
auto UUID | Deterministic seed string. Same seed → same output. |
--count <n> |
3 |
Shape element count multiplier per layer. |
--frame-index <n> |
0 |
Starting frame index. |
--frame-count <n> |
1 |
Number of consecutive frames to generate. |
--density <f> |
0.5 |
Overall density factor (0–1). Lower = sparser. |
Available semantic item-id prefixes:
| Prefix | Type | Tags | Palette |
|---|---|---|---|
floor-desert |
floor | sand, dune, arid | warm ochres, sand tones |
floor-grass |
floor | grass, meadow, earth | greens, earth browns |
floor-water |
floor | water, ocean, wave | blues, foam whites |
floor-stone |
floor | stone, rock, cobble | greys, warm/cool stone |
floor-lava |
floor | lava, magma, fire | reds, oranges, dark crust |
skin-* |
skin | character, body | skin tones, clothing darks |
How generation works
Each item-id maps to a semantic descriptor that provides semanticTags, paletteHints, preferredShapes, and named layer specs (e.g. base, dunes, rocks, tufts for floor-desert).
Seed derivation — deterministic at every level:
layerSeed = hash(seed + ':' + itemId + ':' + layerKey)
frameSeed = hash(layerSeed + ':' + frameIndex)
Temporal coherence — shape topology (which shapes, how many, where) is locked to layerSeed and never changes between frames. Only smooth, low-frequency noise perturbations (position jitter, slight rotation/scale wobble) are derived from frameSeed, so frame N and N+1 differ by ~2% of cells.
Layer naming — every generated layer gets an id: <itemId>-<layerKey> (e.g. floor-desert-dunes).
Generation pipeline per layer:
- Pick generator type (
noise-fieldfor base fills,shapefor element placement). - Select palette colors deterministically from
paletteHintswith per-elementcolorShift. - For shape layers: pick shape via weighted
preferredShapes, compute stable base transform(x, y, scale, rotation), apply frame-level smooth noise. - Stamp shapes onto a 24×24 grid via
intCoordsrasterization from the parametric shape generator. - Composite all layers into a final
frame_matrix+ unifiedcolorspalette.
Variability factors per layer:
scaleVariance, rotationVariance, colorShift, jitter, noiseLevel, detailLevel, sparsity — small, deterministic variations that keep each generation unique but semantically coherent.
What --generate persists
The full pipeline runs automatically:
- Static assets — PNGs written to
./src/client/public/cyberia/assets/{type}/{itemId}/{dirCode}/{frame}.png+metadata.json. - MongoDB —
ObjectLayerRenderFrames+ObjectLayerdocuments created with SHA-256 hash. - Atlas sprite sheet — generated, saved to
File+AtlasSpriteSheetcollections, and linked viaatlasSpriteSheetId.
Reproducibility example
Running the same command twice produces byte-identical output:
# Run 1
cyberia ol floor-desert --generate --seed fx-42 --count 3 --frame-count 2
# Run 2 (identical output)
cyberia ol floor-desert --generate --seed fx-42 --count 3 --frame-count 2Different seeds produce different but semantically consistent results:
cyberia ol floor-desert --generate --seed fx-42 # variant A
cyberia ol floor-desert --generate --seed fx-99 # variant B (same style, different arrangement)Visualize a processed frame
Reconstructs and opens a PNG from the database-stored frame data. Requires item-id as the first positional argument, followed by direction and frame index in the format [direction]_[frameIndex].
# Show frame with default direction and frame (08_0)
cyberia ol anon --show-frame
# Show specific direction and frame
cyberia ol anon --show-frame 08_0
# Show different directions
cyberia ol anon --show-frame 02_0 # up_idle
cyberia ol anon --show-frame 04_1 # left_idle (second frame)Valid direction codes:
08: down_idle, none_idle, default_idle18: down_walking02: up_idle12: up_walking04: left_idle, up_left_idle, down_left_idle14: left_walking, up_left_walking, down_left_walking06: right_idle, up_right_idle, down_right_idle16: right_walking, up_right_walking, down_right_walking
This command:
- Finds the ObjectLayer by item-id
- Loads the associated ObjectLayerRenderFrames document
- Reconstructs the PNG from the stored
frame_matrixandmap_color - Saves it temporarily to disk as
{item-id}_{direction}_{frame}.png - Opens it with Firefox for visual inspection
Generate Atlas Sprite Sheet
Consolidates all frames (8 directions, multiple modes) from an object layer's render frames into a single optimized PNG atlas with metadata.
# Generate atlas sprite sheet with auto-calculated dimensions (recommended)
cyberia ol anon --to-atlas-sprite-sheet
# Generate atlas with custom dimensions (manual override)
cyberia ol anon --to-atlas-sprite-sheet 4096
This command:
- Finds the ObjectLayer by item-id or MongoDB
_id - Loads the associated ObjectLayerRenderFrames document
- Auto-calculates optimal atlas dimensions based on total frame count (8 directions × all animation modes)
- Generates a consolidated PNG with all animation frames properly arranged
- Stores the PNG in the File collection
- Creates/updates an AtlasSpriteSheet document with frame positions
- Updates the ObjectLayer with top-level
atlasSpriteSheetIdreference - Uses power-of-2 dimensions for GPU efficiency
Atlas Dimension Calculation:
- Auto (default): Dynamically calculates optimal size based on:
- Total number of frames across all directions and modes
- Individual frame dimensions
- Grid layout to minimize wasted space
- Power-of-2 optimization (1024, 2048, 4096, etc.)
- Manual override: Specify exact dimension (e.g.,
--to-atlas-sprite-sheet 4096)
Common Atlas Sizes:
- 1024x1024: ~6-10 frames
- 2048x2048: ~20-40 frames (typical for character sprites)
- 4096x4096: ~80-160 frames (complex animations)
- 8192x8192: Maximum, for extreme cases
The tool automatically warns if frames exceed the specified dimension and suggests a larger size.
View Atlas Sprite Sheet
Opens the consolidated atlas sprite sheet PNG for inspection.
# Show atlas sprite sheet by item-id
cyberia ol anon --show-atlas-sprite-sheet
This command:
- Finds the ObjectLayer by item-id
- Retrieves the associated AtlasSpriteSheet via top-level
atlasSpriteSheetIdor by matchingmetadata.itemKey - Saves it temporarily to disk
- Opens it with Firefox for visual inspection
- Displays atlas dimensions in the console
