Options
Option		Param	Description
`-d`	`--dest`	path	Define a destination path (directory/file). The destination - means: write to standard output. The path may contain escape sequences: %Q is replaced by the fully qualified source name. %P and %F are replaced by the source path or by the filename. %N and %E are replaced by source filename without extension or by the source extension. Finally, %T is replaced by the default extension of the destination format. A '?' direct behind '%' in %E and %T conversions avoid that the same extension is used twice in row.
`-D`	`--DEST`	path	Like --dest, but create the directory path automatically.
`-E`	`--esc`	char	Define an alternative escape character for destination files. The default is '%'. For Windows batch files it is a good choice to set '-E$'.
`-p`	`--preserve`		Preserve file times (atime+mtime) while converting or copying files.
`-u`	`--update`		Update only existing files and don't create new files. If set, --overwrite and --remove-dest are ignored.
`-o`	`--overwrite`		Overwrite already existing files without warning and ignore option --number.
	`--number`		If a file already exist, append a number directly before the file extension to make the filename unique. If other numbered files already exist (ignoring case), use the maximum existing index+1. --num is a short cut.
`-r`	`--remove-dest`		Remove already existing files before creating it. If set, --overwrite is ignored. --rm-dest is a short cut.
	`--remove-src`		Remove the source file after successful operation. --rm-src is a short cut.
	`--u8`		Create an U8 archive, if possible. If the source is a WU8 archive, convert it to an U8 archive. This is the default if the setup file 'wszst-setup.txt' has no other definition. The default compression mode is set to Yaz0 (see --yaz0).
	`--wu8`		Create a WU8 archive, if possible. If the source is an U8 archive, convert it to a WU8 archive.
`-i`	`--ignore`		Ignore non existing source files without warning.
`-n`	`--norm`		The uncompressed data will be normalized. See command NORMALIZE for more details.
	`--links`		Support hardlinks while creating U8 and WU8 archives. Keep hardlinks if normalizing U8 and WU8 archives. On extracting, search hardlinks in every archive and try to create hardlinks at local file system.
	`--align-u8`	size	Define an align value for the sub files in U8 archives. The value must be a power of 2 and the default value is 32 (0x20) This value is only relevant if creating or normalizing U8 archives.
	`--align-pack`	size	Define an align value for the sub files in PACK archives. The value must be a power of 2 and the default value is 32 (0x20) This value is only relevant if creating or normalizing OACK archives.
	`--align-brres`	size	Define an align value for the sub files in BRRES archives. The value must be a power of 2 and the default value is 4 This value is only relevant if creating or normalizing BRRES archives.
	`--align-breff`	size	Define an align value for the sub files in BREFF archives. The value must be a power of 2 and the default value is 4 This value is only relevant if creating or normalizing BREFF archives.
	`--align-breft`	size	Define an align value for the sub files in BREFT archives. The value must be a power of 2 and the default value is 0x20 This value is only relevant if creating or normalizing BREFT archives.
	`--align`	size	Define an align value for the sub files in all archives. This is a short cut for »--align-u8=size --align-pack=size --align-brres=size --align-breff=size --align-breft=size«.
	`--pt-dir`	[=mode]	Set one of the `point directory' modes REMOVE (=0), FORCE (=1) or AUTO (default). If --pt-dir is used without parameter, then FORCE is assumed. This option is only relevant if creating an U8 archive. It decides, if a special directory with name '.' will be added as base for all other files.
	`--rm-aiparam`		Remove the directory AIParam and all files from the archive. This option has only impact, if creating a new archive or normalizing an existing archive. --rmai is a short cut.
	`--auto-add`		Analyze the KMP (if exist) and add missing BRRES, BREFF, BREFT, BRASD and KCL files automatically, if the tool can find the files in any sub directory named 'auto-add'. This sub directory is searched in all directories of 'SEARCH_PATH'; use command »wszst AUTOADD« to view them. Command »wszst AUTOADD« may also create an auto-add database. --aadd is a short cut.
`-c`	`--const`	list	Define constant values, that are used by the internal encoders and by the numeric options as predefined global variables. This option allows a conditional encoding of text files. It can be used multiple times for multiple definitions. The parameter is a comma separated list of terms and a term is 'name=expression'. The expression is calculated by the text parser.
	`--scale`	vector[@origin]	Transform the data: Scale all coordinates and size values by 'vector' relative to the point 'origin'. If the origin is not set, 0,0,0 is used instead. Negative values mirror the coordinates. Each parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,z' or 'x,y,z'). Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, ROTATE, TRANSLATE.
	`--shift`	vector	Transform the data: Add 'vector' to all coordinates. It's simlar to --translate, but the addition is done before rotation. The parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,z' or 'x,y,z'). Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, ROTATE, TRANSLATE.
	`--xss`	x1old,x1new,x2old,x2new	--xss (x-scale-shift) calculates the X values of --scale and --shift, so that old values are transformed to the new values. The parameters are numbers or expression.
	`--yss`	y1old,y1new,y2old,y2new	--yss (y-scale-shift) calculates the Y values of --scale and --shift, so that old values are transformed to the new values. The parameters are numbers or expression.
	`--zss`	z1old,z1new,z2old,z2new	--zss (z-scale-shift) calculates the Z values of --scale and --shift, so that old values are transformed to the new values. The parameters are numbers or expression.
	`--rot`	degree[@origin]	Transform the data: Rotate all coordinates and rotation values by the angle 'degree' (is a vector) around the 3 axes. All 3 axes goes through the point 'origin'. If the origin is not set, 0,0,0 is used instead. Each parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,y,z'). Option --rot is an alternative for --xrot, --yrot and --zrot to define all 3 rotations in one step. Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, X-ROTATE, Y-ROTATE, Z-ROTATE, TRANSLATE.
	`--xrot`	degree[@origin]	Transform the data: Rotate all coordinates and rotation values by the angle 'degree' around the x-axis, that goes through the point 'origin'. If the origin is not set, 0,0,0 is used instead. Each parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('y,z' or 'x,y,z'). Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, X-ROTATE, Y-ROTATE, Z-ROTATE, TRANSLATE.
	`--yrot`	degree[@origin]	Transform the data: Rotate all coordinates and rotation values by the angle 'degree' around the x-axis, that goes through the point 'origin'. If the origin is not set, 0,0,0 is used instead. This is a horizontal counterclockwise rotation and the old option name --hrot can also used. Each parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,z' or 'x,y,z'). Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, X-ROTATE, Y-ROTATE, Z-ROTATE, TRANSLATE.
	`--zrot`	degree[@origin]	Transform the data: Rotate all coordinates and rotation values by the angle 'degree' around the z-axis, that goes through the point 'origin'. If the origin is not set, 0,0,0 is used instead. Each parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,y' or 'x,y,z'). Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, X-ROTATE, Y-ROTATE, Z-ROTATE, TRANSLATE.
	`--ypos`	pos	This option defines an Y position for KMP:CKPT transformations. It has only impact to X and Z rotations (Options --xrot and --zrot). If not set, the mean y of the active rotation origins are used.
	`--translate`	vector	Transform the data: Add 'vector' to all coordinates. It's simlar to --shift, but the addition is done after rotation. The parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,z' or 'x,y,z'). --trans is a short cut. Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, ROTATE, TRANSLATE.
	`--null`		Create a neutral transformation without affecting the coordinates. The only influence is, that the dependent values (like maximum) are re-calculated as if a transformation has taken place.
	`--next`		Close the current transformation step with all scaling, shifting, rotation and translation options and open a new step with cleared options. On transformation each step is logical done one by one. In real, one total transformation matrix is calculated and used for fast transformations. If option --next is used, the ability for modifying the scale and rotation vectors (not the positions) of different KMP sections is nearly always lost. A warning is printed if this occurs.
	`--ascale`	factor@dir	Transform the data and do an axis scale: Close the current transformation step like --next and scale the data by 'factor' into the direction given by the vector 'dir'. Store the resulting matrix as single transformation step and open a new one. This kind of transformation is EXPERIMENTAL!
	`--arot`	degree[@pos1]@pos2	Transform the data and do an axis rotation: Close the current transformation step like --next and rotate the data by 'degree' around the axis defined by the 2 points. If 'pos1' is not set, use 0,0,0 instead. Store the resulting matrix as single transformation step and open a new one. This kind of transformation is EXPERIMENTAL!
	`--tform-script`	script	Load the script and execute it by the text parser. Then for each coordinate (2D and 3D), call the macro TRANSFORM after all other transformations. Call it without parameters and set variable $I with a zero based index of all vertices, variable $D to the dimension (2 or 3) and the variable $P to the vector of the current vertex. If the macro returns a vector, it is the new position. For each file, macro BEGIN is called at the beginning and END after processing all points, but only, if the macros are defined. For END, variable $I is set to the number of processed vertices in the current file. Before each macro call, the private and local variables are cleared and only global parameters are permanent. The zero based index is cleared for each new source. The parameters of the macro calls are defined in the local name space.
	`--rm-gobj`	objlist	Remove objects from the KMP section GOBJ. Therefor a comma separated object list with single values like 'a' or ranges like 'a:b' is expected. 'a' and 'b' are numbers, object names (prefixed by 'o$') or any other parser expressions.
	`--slot`	keyword	Patch a track file to run at the specified slot. KMP and KCL may be modified. BRRES files may be added to or removed from SZS. The main keywords are DAISY, DESERT, SHERBET, SHYGUY, STANDARD and MOST. Slot numbers (except '42' and '4.2') and different other track names are also accepted. For some conversions, the auto-add library is needed.
	`--load-kcl`	file	Load a KCL or OBJ file for reference issues.
	`--kcl`	list	Set global options for KCL processing. Parameter 'list' is a comma separated list of keywords. A minus sign before a keyword disables a setting. Each occurrence of the option will only change entered settings and all other settings are untouched. Keyword DEFAULT resets the default settings and CLEAR disables all. Keywords SMALL, MEDIUM and CHARY select the default parameters for the octree creation. The other allowed keywords are: FAST, NEW, CENTER, ROUND, NORMALS, MTL, WIIMM, TRIANGLES, OUT-SWAP, G, USEMTL, CLIP, IN-SWAP, AUTO, HEX4, HEX23, HEX, DROP-UNUSED, DROP-FIXED, DROP-INVALID, DROP, RM-FACEDOWN, RM-FACEUP, FIX-ALL, CONV-FACEUP, WEAK-WALLS, SORT, INPLACE, SILENT and LOG.
	`--kcl-flag`	joblist	Modify the KCL flag of KCL files. A comma separated job list in the format 'srclist=dest' is expected. 'srclist' is a plus sign separated list with single values like <val>, T<type> and <val>/<mask> or ranges like <val>:<val>, T<type>:<type> and <val>:<val>/<mask>. '<val>' is a complete KCL flag in the range of 0..0xffff. '<type>' are only the base types in the range of 0..0x1f. If <mask> is present, it marks the relevant bits. For the T<type> variant, the mask is set to 0x1f. All KCL flags of the source list are assigned to the new value 'dest', but only the set bits of '<mask>' are modified. A later definition overrides the previous one.
	`--kcl-script`	script	After reading a KCL source file and executing all transformations, the text file 'script' is executed by the internal text parser. The script should use the parser functions tri$*() to read and modify the triangle positions and flags, or to add or remove complete triangles. If this option is used multiple times, each script is executed in the entered order.
	`--tri-area`	EXPR	Define the minimal area size of KCL triangles. The intention is to ignore triangles that are generally to small. EXPR is a floating point number or expression. Triangles are invalidated if their area size is smaller than EXPR. The test is executed after reading files, after transformations, and after calculating normals and lengths. Values between 0.01 and 4.0 are recommended. The careful value 1.0 is used as default. Value 0 disables this filter functionality.
	`--tri-height`	EXPR	Define the minimal height of KCL triangles. The intention is to ignore deformed triangles (very slim, but long). EXPR is a floating point number or expression. Triangles are invalidated if at least 1 of the 3 heights is smaller than EXPR. The test is executed after reading files, after transformations, and after calculating normals and lengths. Values between 0.01 and 2.0 are recommended. The careful value 1.0 is used as default. Value 0 disables this filter functionality. --tri-ht is an alternative name for the option.
	`--kmp`	list	Set global options for KMP processing. Parameter 'list' is a comma separated list of keywords. A minus sign before a keyword disables a setting. Each occurrence of the option will only change entered settings and all other settings are untouched. Keyword DEFAULT resets the default settings and CLEAR disables all. The other allowed keywords are: FORCE, NEW, RM-SPCITEM, LEFT, RIGHT, WIDE, NARROW, FIX-CKPH, FIX-ENPH, FIX-ITPH, FIX-PH, FIX-CKNEXT, FIX-CKJGPT, FIX-CK, FIX-ALL, MASK-PFLAGS, DUMP-CLASS, DUMP-ONEWAY, DUMP-ALL, 1LAP, 2LAPS ... 9LAPS, MAX-LAPS, RM-EMPTY, INPLACE, SILENT and LOG.
	`--speed-mod`	factor	The speed modifier is a user extensions to change the basic speed of all vehicles. The speed factor itself is stored into KMP:STGI section of a track. If --speed-mod is set to a value >0.0, then the last 2 bytes of the STGI section are patched. The value 0.0 reset these 2 bytes and deactivates the speed modifier.
	`--ktpt2`	vector	Insert or replace a second KTPT. Use VECTOR as new position. VECTOR is either X,Z or X,Y,Z or an expression. Set Y to 0 for an automatic defined height. If the first 4 characters of VECTOR are 'AUTO' (ignoring case), then the position is calculated automatically and set to the recommendation of command wkmpt KTPT. The tool looks for the nearest lap counter (CKPT with mode 0) and adjust the KTPT: The direction of the lap counter is copied and the KTPT is moved to the lap counter line using the new direction. LE-CODE uses the second KTPT to draw the finish line at another place away from the start position.
	`--tform-kmp`	list	Select KMP sections and objects for a transformation. --tkmp is a short cut. The option expects a comma separated list of keywords. Non ambiguous of keywords are allowed and minus signs within keywords are optional (e.g. GOBJS). A minus sign before a keyword disables transformation of the related section or object. Sections are selected by the KMP section names AREA, CAME, CKPT, CNPT, ENPT, GOBJ, ITPT, JGPT, KTPT, MSPT and POTI. Objects are selected by the keywords AREA-POSITION, AREA-ROTATE, AREA-SCALE, CAME-POSITION, CKPT-POSITION, CNPT-POSITION, CNPT-ROTATE, ENPT-POSITION, ENPT-SCALE, GOBJ-POSITION, GOBJ-ROTATE, GOBJ-SCALE, ITPT-POSITION, ITPT-SCALE, JGPT-POSITION, JGPT-ROTATE, KTPT-POSITION, KTPT-ROTATE, MSPT-POSITION, MSPT-ROTATE and POTI-POSITION. The keywords NONE and ALL (default) complete the field.
	`--repair-xpflags`	file	Load a KMP file and use it to repair the settings of the extended presence flags, if they are destroyed by another KMP tool. --repxpf is a short cut for this option.
	`--mdl`	list	Set global options for MDL processing. To enable MDL patching, use option --patch-file and select BRRES files for patching. Parameter 'list' is a comma separated list of keywords. A minus sign before a keyword disables a setting. Each occurrence of the option will only change entered settings and all other settings are untouched. A MDL transformation (controlled by the transformation options) is only done, if at least one of the keywords VECTOR or VERTEX is set. Keyword DEFAULT resets the default settings (VERTEX) and CLEAR disables all. The other allowed keywords are: VECTOR, MATRIX, VERTEX, PARENT, CHILD and LOG.
	`--minimap`		Fix the minimap position in the same way as »wszst MINIMAP --auto«. All other minimap related options are ignored for the minimap processing.
	`--pat`	list	Set global options for PAT processing. Parameter 'list' is a comma separated list of keywords. A minus sign before a keyword disables a setting. Each occurrence of the option will only change entered settings and all other settings are untouched. Keyword DEFAULT resets the default settings and CLEAR disables all. The other allowed keywords are: AUTO, SIMPLE, COMPLEX, BOTH, SILENT and LOG.
	`--patch-file`	list	Define, which kind of KMP, KCL and BRRES/MDL files are objects for patching. --pfile is a short cut. Parameter 'list' is a comma separated list of keywords. A minus sign before a keyword disables a setting. Each occurrence of the option will only change entered settings and all other settings are untouched. Keyword DEFAULT resets the default settings (TRACK,LOG) and CLEAR disables all. The other allowed keywords are: KMP, KCL, OTHER-KCL, ALL-KCL, MODEL, MAP, VRCORN, OTHER-BRRES, ALL-BRRES, TRACK (=KMP,KCL,MODEL,MAP,VRCORN), ALL, LOG and LOG-ALL.
	`--lt-clear`		Clear the LEX/TEST section and remove the section and course.lex if empty. This option is executed before all other --lt-* options.
	`--lt-online`	mode	Set LEX/TEST parameter OFFLINE-ONLINE to this MODE. MODE is one of AUTO (default), NEVER or ALWAYS. Only track.szs files are modified. If needed, file course.lex and section TEST are created or removed if empty.
	`--lt-n-players`	offline,online	Set LEX/TEST parameters N-OFFLINE and N-ONLINE to these integer values. Only track.szs files are modified. If needed, file course.lex and section TEST are created or removed if empty.
	`--lt-cond-bit`	bitnum	Set LEX/TEST parameter COND-BIT to this integer value. Use -1 to deactivate this COND-BIT. Only track.szs files are modified. If needed, file course.lex and section TEST are created or removed if empty.
	`--lt-game-mode`	mode	Set LEX/TEST parameter GAME-MODE to this MODE. MODE is one of AUTO (default), BALLOON, COIN, VERSUS or ITEMRAIN. Only track.szs files are modified. If needed, file course.lex and section TEST are created or removed if empty.
	`--lt-random`	index	Force a random scenario, if between 1 and 6. Value 0 enables auto selection and -1 disables this option. Only track.szs files are modified. If needed, file course.lex and section TEST are created or removed if empty.
	`--patch-bmg`	mode[cond][=param]	This option specifies a BMG patch mode. Some of the modes need a parameter or a file name of a BMG patch file (raw or text BMG), both separated by an equal sign. Modes with required file names are PRINT, REPLACE, INSERT, OVERWRITE, DELETE, MASK, EQUAL and NOTEQUAL. Modes with text parameter are FORMAT, REGEXP and RM-REGEXP. Standalone modes are ID, ID-ALL, UNICODE, RM-ESCAPES, RM-CUPS, CT-COPY, CT-FORCE-COPY, CT-FILL, LE-COPY, LE-FORCE-COPY, LE-FILL, X-COPY, X-FORCE-COPY and X-FILL. Unique abbreviations are allowed. The optional condition COND is either '?MID' or '!MID'. In case of '?MID', the patch is only applied if the message id MID already exists. In case of '!MID', the patch is only applied if the message id MID does not exists. If this option is used multiple times, all patch files will be processed in the entered order.
	`--macro-bmg`	file	Load a BMG file and add the messages to the macro library; already existing entries are replaced. The macro library is accessed by escape sequence \m{MID} as fallback, if the active file has not already defined the message MID by itself.
	`--filter-bmg`	list	If this option is set, the BMG messages are filtered by this list. Only enabled messages are exported to the output BMG file (binary or text). The parameter is a list of message ids (short MID, 'Txx' or 'Uxx' or Mxx' or hex number) or message ranges (MID:MID) or one of the keywords NONE, IDENT (=ID), PARAM, CUPS, TRACKS, ARENAS, CHAT, CTCODE (=CT), CTUPS, CTTRACKS, CTARENAS, CTREFS, LECODE (=LE), LEUPS, LETRACKS, LEARENAS, LEREFS, XCODE (=X), XUPS, XTRACKS, XARENAS, XREFS, ALLCODE, ALLUPS, ALLTRACKS, ALLARENAS, ALLREFS, GENERIC or ALL. If an element is preceded by a minus sign, it is removed from the filter list (disabled). With v2.01a, this option was renamed from --msg to the more meaningful name --filter-bmg. The old name is still available.
