Wiimms SZS Tools

Introduction

Wiimms SZS Tools should be a set of different tools to manipulate SZS files. All tools are command line tools and run without any interaction. The main goal is to run them in batch files and scripts to automate recurring jobs. At this moment the tools are alpha and there is only one tool:

wszst : Wiimms SZS Tool

A second tool to change the content of message files is planned. Both tools together can be used to change the track names of all message files of all languages without interaction.

This toolser will not replace the SZS Modifier or SZS Explorer, because they are interative tools with GUI support.

wszst is a command driven tool. Only a few commands are implemented yet; other will follow.
