## Overview

**scfile** is a utility and library for converting proprietary Stalcraft assets formats to standard ones.

> This is an **unofficial** project and is **not affiliated** with EXBO.

## ✨ Supported Formats

| Type           | Game formats            | →   | Standard formats             |
| -------------- | ----------------------- | --- | ---------------------------- |
| 🧊 **Model**   | `.mcsb` `.mcsa` `.mcvd` | →   | `.glb` `.obj` `.dae` `.ms3d` |
| 🧱 **Texture** | `.ol`                   | →   | `.dds`                       |
| 🖼️ **Image**   | `.mic`                  | →   | `.png`                       |
| 📦 **Archive** | `.texarr`               | →   | `.zip`                       |
| ⚙️ **Data**    | `NBT`\*                 | →   | `.json`                      |

\* `NBT` refers to specific files (`itemnames.dat`, `prefs`, `sd0`, etc.)

## 🚀 Quick Start

> **_Three ways to get started:_** download, install, or compile.

### 1. 💻 Download executable

Standalone `scfile.exe` available on [Releases page][releases].  
_No Python required._

**Usage:**

- 📥 **Drag & Drop**: drag file onto `scfile.exe`  
   _[What is drag and drop?][usage-dragndrop]_
- 🖱️ **Open With**: set as default app for supported formats  
   _[How to set default app (Windows)?][usage-defaultapp]_
- 📟 **Command Line**: `scfile.exe --help`  
   _[What is command line interface?][usage-cli]_  
   _Example:_ `scfile.exe model.mcsb -F glb --skeleton`  
   _Options: `-F` picks model format, `--skeleton` extracts armature._

### 2. 🐍 Install Python package

**Install:**

```bash
pip install sc-file
```

**Usage:**

- 📖 **Python library**: [See Library section](#-library)
- 📟 **CLI via package**: `scfile --help`

### 3. 🔧 Compile from source

Build from source code using the [compile guide][docs-compile].  
_For developers, contributors, or custom builds._

> 📚 [Usage guide and CLI options →][docs-usage]

## 📖 Library

**Install latest version:**

```bash
pip install sc-file -U
```

**Usage example:**

```py
from scfile import convert, formats, UserOptions

# Simple conversion (auto detect format by file suffix)
# User options to control parsing and export settings
convert.auto("model.mcsb", options=UserOptions(parse_skeleton=True))

# Advanced control (manual decoding and data inspection)
# Context manager ensures proper resource cleanup
with formats.mcsb.McsbDecoder("model.mcsb") as mcsb:
    # Access parsed scene data: meshes, bones
    scene = mcsb.decode().scene
    print(f"Model total vertices: {sum(m.count.vertices for m in scene.meshes)}")

    # Export to a specific standard format
    mcsb.to_obj().save("output.obj")
```
