Documentation

Overview

A tool to convert back and forth between the GGDictionary format and JSON.

The GGDictionary format is used by the Thimbleweed Park point-and-click adventure game engine. It encodes a key-value data structure like JSON, but as a binary format. For example, for Thimbleweed Park *.wimpy and *Animation.json files are stored in this format within a "ggpack" file.

Usage:

ggdict -to-json|-from-json path

Flags:

-to-json    Converts the given GGDictionary file to JSON format on
            standard output.
-from-json  Converts the given JSON file to GGDictionary format on
            standard output. You might want to redirect it to a file,
            since it is a binary format.

Examples:

ggdict -to-json Example.wimpy > Example.wimpy.json
ggdict -from-json Example.wimpy.json > Example.wimpy
ggdict -to-json ExampleAnimation.json > ExampleAnimation.really.json
