flint\n\n**flint** (*Freelancer Intel*) is a platform-independent parser and ORM for the data files of [*Freelancer*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freelancer_%28video_game%29), a 2003 space sim  for Windows developed by Digital Anvil.\n\nFreelancer is interesting in that the game world can be entirely defined in [INI files](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file), a format more usually used to hold simple configuration data. Additional content (e.g. text, icons and models) are stored in a variety of binary formats.\n\nflint implements a parser for Freelancer-style INIs, as well as platform-independent reader implementations for every binary file format used by Freelancer - BINI, resource DLL, and UTF. All these implementations can be found in [`flint/formats`](flint/formats). Additionally, resource string handling incorporates RDL (Freelancer's markup language) to HTML translation and some of the maths surrounding Freelancer's navmap has been implemented.\n\nTaken together, this yields a simple yet powerful API that can be used to explore the game world, dump data or act as a foundation for Freelancer-related applications.\n\nflint explicitly supports vanilla Freelancer and [Discovery Freelancer](https://discoverygc.com), but in principle should (though it's not yet) be implemented robustly enough to work with any valid mod, no matter how esoteric.\n\n## Installation\nInstall the latest stable version from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/fl-flint) with pip:\n\n```sh\npip install fl-flint\n```\n\nOr install the latest development version straight from this repository:\n\n```sh\npip install https://github.com/biqqles/flint/archive/master.zip -U\n```\n\nBuilt wheels are also available under [Releases](https://github.com/biqqles/flint/releases), as is a changelog.\n\nflint requires Python \u003e= 3.6.\n\n## API documentation\n\nThe documentation has been moved to the [wiki](https://github.com/biqqles/flint/wiki).\n\n## Ongoing work\n- Entities\n\t- Comprehensive classification of `Zone` types\n- Missions\n\t- Reading `mbases.ini`\n- Interface\n\t- Reading `infocardmap.ini`\n\t- Bidirectionally transforming RDL from and to XHTML without using a crude lookup table\n- Paths\n\t- Extracting paths from Freelancer.exe\n- Formats\n\t- Writer implementations for formats\n\n## Acknowledgements\nThanks to the admins, members and supporters of [The Starport](https://the-starport.net) for hosting an invaluable source of information about modding Freelancer.\n\nIn addition, particular thanks goes to:\n\n- Bas Westerbaan for [documenting](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JlQa19mEiuHzpnAc8B1d2wTcgnvdl_tH) the BINI format\n- Treewyrm for [documenting](https://wiki.librelancer.net/utf) UTF\n- adoxa and cshake for [deciphering](https://the-starport.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?\u0026topic_id=562) RDL\n- cshake and Alex for providing a cross-platform DLL parser, which facilitated early development\n- Syrus for support in the early stages of development\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbiqqles%2Fflint","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbiqqles%2Fflint","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbiqqles%2Fflint/lists"}
