Arkos Tracker is not a monolithic software and has many command line tools and options.
Main software
First of all, the main software can be given a song to load:
ArkosTracker3 <path to the song to load>If the song is not found, or could not be loaded for some reason, it is ignored (and the reason displayed in the command line).
Tools
In the “tools” folder are all the command line tools. They will allow you to export any song to any format AT3 shown in the export menu (AKG, AKM, etc.). With that, developers can generate a source/binary of the music without having to manually export the AKS song. Whenever the musician produces a new version of their music, a single line will generate the output you need.
Each tool comes with a help if called without parameters, so don’t be afraid :).
The list of tools is as follow. What they are doing is pretty straightforward so I won’t explain what they are doing:
- SongToAkg
- SongToAkm
- SongToAky
- SongToEvents
- SongToRaw
- SongToSoundEffects
- SongToVgm
- SongToWav
- SongToYm
That’s it!
