mntm-asset-packer 1.1.2

An improved asset packer script to make the process of creating and packing asset packs for the Momentum firmware easier.

mntm-asset-packer

An improved asset packer script to make the process of creating asset packs for the Momentum firmware easier. This script is designed to be backwards compatible with the original packer while adding new features for a better user experience.

Features

This improved packer adds several features over the original:

• Pack specific asset packs: No need to pack everything at once.
• Create command: Quickly scaffold the necessary file structure for a new asset pack.
• Automatic file conversion: Automatically convert and rename image frames for animations.
• Asset pack recovery: Recover PNGs and metadata from compiled asset packs. (Note: Font recovery is not yet implemented).
• Backwards compatibility: Works the same way as the original packer by default, so you can use it without changing your workflow.

Setup

Using uv (recommended)

If you don't have uv installed, follow these instructions.

You can quickly run the script with this command:

uvx mntm-asset-packer help

To install, use this command:

uv tool install mntm-asset-packer
mntm-asset-packer help

or using pip:

pip install mntm-asset-packer
mntm-asset-packer help

Using venv

1. Clone this repository and navigate into its directory.
2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install the required dependencies from requirements.txt:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
