grfdiff: A tool to create a binary GRF diff from to GRFs.

NAME

GRFDiff - A tool to create a binary GRF diff from to GRFs.

SYNOPSIS

grfdiff [-hnxyv ] [-l numbers ] [-o GRF-File ] Original-GRF-file New-GRF-file

Compare the two GRF files and produce a GRD file containing only the sprites from the second file that are different from the first file.

GRFDiff makes a .GRD file with the same basename as the new GRF file.

OPTIONS

-h
Display the help message.
-l numbers
Save the sprites with these numbers in the .GRD instead of finding the modified sprites. With this option, the first GRF file can be omitted.

Format of the numbers: <from1>[-<to1>][,<from2>[-<to2>]]... e.g. 1-5,8,20-31 (must be increasing numbers).

-n
Only show a list of modified sprites, don't make a .GRF file.
-x
Make a self-extracting (.EXE) file instead of a .GRD.
-y
Answer 'y' to all questions.
-v
Display the version.

You can specify several sets of GRF files along with their -l options by separating them with a double-dash `--'. The result will be written to a single .GRD file. Only -l is valid after the first set.
