The goal is to get standalone, commandline executables that can format files we use with hacking, such as text files, or portraits, or maps. They would all just output .dmps that can be variably inserted in ROMs. In the end, this will allow for EA to become the sole application you need to build a hack.
I’m going to see if I can develop something for music hacking too, mostly in the way of importing sound samples en masse rather than the tedious method of doing all that with Sappy manually. I don’t imagine it should be too hard but I’ve got to actually get around to doing it.
