path: root/tools/file_packager.py

'''
A tool that generates FS API calls to generate a filesystem, and packages the files
to work with that.

This is called by emcc. You can also call it yourself.

You can split your files into "asset bundles", and create each bundle separately
with this tool. Then just include the generated js for each and they will load
the data and prepare it accordingly. This allows you to share assets and reduce
data downloads.

Usage:

  file_packager.py TARGET [--preload A [B..]] [--embed C [D..]] [--compress COMPRESSION_DATA] [--crunch[=X]] [--js-output=OUTPUT.js] [--no-force]

  --crunch=X Will compress dxt files to crn with quality level X. The crunch commandline tool must be present
             and CRUNCH should be defined in ~/.emscripten that points to it. JS crunch decompressing code will
             be added to convert the crn to dds in the browser.
             crunch-worker.js will be generated in the current directory. You should include that file when
             packaging your site.
             DDS files will not be crunched if the .crn is more recent than the .dds. This prevents a lot of
             unneeded computation.

  --js-output=FILE Writes output in FILE, if not specified, standard output is used.

  --no-force Don't create output if no valid input file is specified.

  --use-preload-cache Stores package in IndexedDB so that subsequent loads don't need to do XHR. Checks package version.

Notes:

  * The file packager generates unix-style file paths. So if you are on windows and a file is accessed at
    subdir\file, in JS it will be subdir/file. For simplicity we treat the web platform as a *NIX.

TODO:        You can also provide .crn files yourself, pre-crunched. With this option, they will be decompressed
             to dds files in the browser, exactly the same as if this tool compressed them.
