# Nitro Converter
This tool is used to generate `.nitro` bundled assets for use with the Nitro Client
## Configuration
You must rename `configuration.json.example` to `configuration.json`
The simplest way to set your configuration is by changing the `external.variables.url` option. The converter will pull all urls from this file if the main configuration has them set to `null or ""`
You may set any of the urls to a local path on your system or a remote url. A local path is recommended as the tool will run a lot quicker for downloading.

## Running the converter
**Make sure you run `yarn install` before first use.**
To run the converter open a new terminal / console window in the main converter directory.
The converter has a few different start commands:
| key | value |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| yarn start | Will download and convert assets as set in the config |
| yarn start:bundle | Will bundle decompressed `.nitro` assets (json / png) |
| yarn start:extract | Will extract `.nitro` assets which can be used for editing |
| yarn start:convert-swf | Will convert inputted `.swf` assets to `.nitro` |
When you run `start:bundle | start:extract | start:convert-swf` for the first time it will automatically generate a folder structure for placing your assets for conversion.
The converter will skip any assets that already exist but will always reconvert your XMLs / copy your JSONS to the `gamedata` folder to ensure you always have the latest copy.
