scritcher/doc/README.md

scritcher command reference

scritcher scripts are shell-like commands separated by a semicolon.

parameters of the arg type

some commands allow a :N syntax where N is an integer to use a given argument when scritcher is called. so, for example, calling a script:

load :0;
showpath;

and then doing scritcher path/to/script.scri arg will print arg on the screen and then exit.

split and index arguments

plugin commands have a split and an index argument so that you can select where in the file you want the plugin to be ran.

so, if you did plugin 3 1..., it would split the file in 3, then get the part that is of index 1 (starting at 0).

Keep in mind parts start from the bottom of the file.

load path_or_arg

Load a file into memory. The file MUST end with the bmp extension (and so MUST be a bmp. feel free to put other files, no warranties are given.)

amp split index gain

Run the eg-amp plugin over the given slice of the file.

wildnoise/noise split index seed repeat_bytes

Inject random noise on the image.

the wildnoise version gives a harder version than noise.

Parameters:

• seed, Random seed
• repeat_bytes, Amount of bytes to preload with random data and repeat throughout the image slice

rotate deg bgfill

Rotate the image by deg degrees, filling the resulting triangles with bgfill.

bgfill is a hex string, e.g #000000.

quicksave

Save the file on the same directory of the file specified by load, but with a suffix on the filename (before extension).

Doing consecutive quicksaves will not overwrite any files, the suffixes will just be different.
