NITRO COMPILER AND CONVERTER
Compiles Nintendos NITRO character data to binary format. It walks through the source directory containing all the character files and compares the filenames with the names in the target directory. If it finds a match it will compare the files and if they are different from each other, it will copy the source file to the target directory and commit the files to SVN for you.

When exporting mesh and animation data from studio max using Nintendos NITRO exporter you have to convert the exported files into binary files. This tool provides a nice interface for the converter and the possibility to batch entire directories.


Requirements:

- NITRO Converter and Compiler
- Python
- Wx Widgets

MOVER OF UNITS
Asset handling for large projects, edites xml files and automated subversion handling.

The Diesel game engine used .xml files to look up data about the objects used in the game, for example what material the objects used. If we had to move these files for some reason we had to edit the path information stored in the files manually. Because we used subversion to handle our assets it was tedious to move stuff around in the repository. Copying, moving and/or renaming a large number of files, on top of that edit the path information in every xml file gets old quickly.

This tool automates the editing of the xml files and takes care of whatever subversion actions you want it to do.

It Requires you to input the directory containing the files you want to move, and the directory you want to move them to. It checks if there are any object files in the directory or further down the directory tree. Parses the xml files found and edits them accordingly. Copies the original files to the target directory and deletes the old ones using svn commands. Optionally it deletes the old unit files.


Requirements:

- Python
- Wx Widgets
- Subversion
- Win32 Extension


I made sure it can run in the command prompt too, so if I had to edit or add some features swiftly I didn't have to bother with the GUI. ¬
