Nintendo parameter archive (AAMP) library

Nintendo parameter archive (AAMP) library

Everything should work correctly for BotW parameter archives, though this hasn't been tested a lot.

Some more esoteric parameter types are left unsupported currently.

Setup

Install with pip install aamp or on Windows py -m pip install aamp.

Converter usage

aamp_to_yml will convert an AAMP to a human readable representation. yml_to_aamp will do the opposite.

Library usage

To read a parameter archive, create a Reader and give it the binary archive data, then call parse() to get a ParameterIO. This API is purposefully very similar to Nintendo's official parameter utils to help with reverse engineering and re-implementing parts of the game code.

Parameter is a simple value, for example a boolean or an integer.

ParameterObject is a key-value mapping where keys are strings and values are always Parameters.

ParameterList is also a key-value mapping, but it contains objects and other lists rather than Parameters.

ParameterIO is a special ParameterList with some extra attributes, like a version number and a type string (usually xml).

>>> import aamp
>>> reader = aamp.Reader(open('test_data/DamageReactionTable.bxml', 'rb').read())
>>> pio = reader.parse()
>>> pio.list('param_root').list('Basic').object('Edge')
ParameterObject(params={375673178: True, 2982974660: True, 4022901097: True, 2861907126: True, 3947755327: True, 1529444359: False})
>>> pio.list('param_root').list('Basic').object('Edge').param('Damage')
True

ParameterObject:

• .param(param_name) returns a parameter. KeyError is raised if the parameter doesn't exist.
• .set_param(param_name, value)

ParameterList:

• .list(list_name) returns a parameter list. KeyError is raised if the list doesn't exist.
• .object(object_name) returns a parameter object. KeyError is raised if the object doesn't exist.
• .set_list(list_name, param_list)
• .set_object(object_name, param_object)

ParameterIO:

• Same as ParameterList, but with extra attributes version (usually 0) and type (usually xml).

For writing a binary parameter archive, create a Writer and pass it a ParameterIO, then call write(stream) with a seekable stream.
