A simple tool for Chasm gamedata deserialization.

• Particles currently cannot be saved.
• When deserializing (-d) or serializing (-s) normal '.ser' files you can specify [input] or file accordingly with extension '.csv' to process standard CSV sheet from EXCEL

ChasmDes.exe [action] [type] [inputFile] <outputFile>
ACTIONS:
-d      deserialize/decode game-file into JSON
-s      serialize/encode JSON into compatible game-file
TYPES:
-csv    for game files with extension '*.ser' (except formatted_text)
-fmt    special case for 'formatted_text.ser' files
-anm    for '.bin' files related to animation data (animations.json.bin)
-atl    for '.bin' files related to texture data (texture_atlas.json.bin)
-con    for '.bin' files related to conversations (conversations.json.bin)
-rmm    for '.bin' files related to room managment (roommanager.json.bin)
-mus    for '.bin' files related to music managment (musicmanager.json.bin)
-ovw    for '.bin' files related to overworld state (overworld.json.bin)
-par    for '.bin' files related to particle data (particles.json.bin)
-usr    processes global savegame (UserInfo.cfg)
-sav    processes specific savegame slot (*.sav)
