Requirements: Anti-Huffman Patch
Usage:
ParseFile:
- Download
ParseFile.exe. Either downloadParseDefinitions.txtor create your own text file for it. Write out your text in alltext format. Example input provided below. Drag your text file toParseFile.exeand say Run With. A .dmp file should be output; if not it means you messed up your format somewhere.
Then paste the .dmp somewhere, and repoint an entry in the text table to that location. make sure to add 0x80000000 to your pointer to tell the Anti-Huffman patch that the text is unencoded. (This all can be done automatically with EA)
ParseFolder (recommended):
- Download
ParseFolder.exe. Either downloadParseDefinitions.txtor create your own text file for it. PutParseFolder.exeinto a directory with your text files (they may be in a subdirectory), and run it. All text files must be in.txtand AllText format. If there’s an error in parsing, it will tell you the error.
Using ParseDefinitions.txt:
- On separate lines, write definitions like
[ToDefine] = (definition). The space is necessary, and(definition)may be any combination of already defined directives or plain text. For example,[Silent...] = [ToggleMouthMove]...[ToggleMouthMove]. You can then use the definitions in your text files.
Notes:
- Your line breaks don’t matter; a text’s new line must be given by [NL] (or [2NL]). This is so you can separate out control codes and movement with new lines without fear of messing up your text.
- I provide the
.hssource. Thus if you run Mac or Linux, you can recompile from source with a good Haskell compiler (read: ghc).
Remember that all text has to end with a [X]. I have it automatically adding this if you forget.
[FastText], which is a diffrent code in FE8 and FE6, is [FastText] for FE8 and [FastTextFE6] for Fe6. Same for the other code(s) that re like this.

Eliwood, let me tell you[NL]
about a lost art.[A]
[OpenLeft]
What is it, o wise[NL]
question-mark man?[A]
[OpenRight]
Once upon a time, before the[NL]
time of FEditor, we did text[A][NL]
a different way. The anti-[NL]
huffman way. This involved[A][NL]
hex editing. In fact, FEditor[NL]
only automates this method.[A][NL]
[OpenLeft]
I see. Why are you telling me this?[A]
[OpenRight]
Since it's what FEditor is based on,[NL]
people should know how it works.[A][NL]
That way new ways of editing text[NL]
based on it can be created.[A][NL]
For example, imagine if we could[NL]
insert text through EA...[A][NL]
[OpenLeft]
That sounds like a[NL]
useful option to have.[A]
[OpenRight]
By the way, there are bandits[NL]
behind you, Eliwood.[A]

Ahh![A]
