Tools for Luola

mkthumbnail.sh
---------------
A bash script that uses ImageMagick to make properly sized thumbnails
from images given as command line parameters.

importlev
----------
A tool to import levels from other caveflying games to Luola.
If no graphics device is available, set the environment
variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER to "dummy".

Not all terrain types of foreign levels are supported. V-Wing is most compatible,
followed by Wings. TOU has many level features that Luola doesn't, so missing
terrain types are mapped to closest equivalents so the level is still playable.

lcmap
-----

Compress/decompress image files to LCMAP format.

ldat
----
An archiving utility for LDAT files.
To see what a file contains use "ldat -l <file.ldat>"
If you want to pack files into an archive, you can do it with
ldat -p <file.ldat> <file1> <file2> ...

Uncompressing is similiar, just replace -p with -x
Every other file argument, if numeric, is treated as a index number.
The default index number is 0.

To store multiple files under the same ID with different index number,
create a pack file. For example:
ldat: myfile.ldat
0	FILE1	file1.jpg
0	FILE2	file2.jpg
0	SERIES	series.tga
1	SERIES	series1.tga
2	SERIES	series2.tga
