sow-tools

Shared NWN build tooling for Shadows Over Westgate.

This repository owns the Go-based nwn-tool binary used by the separate module and assets repositories.

Build

Build the development binary into tools/nwn-tool:

./build-tool.sh

Or run directly with Go:

GOCACHE="$PWD/.cache/go-build" go run ./cmd/nwn-tool --help

Repository Layout

cmd/nwn-tool/      CLI entrypoint
internal/app/      command wiring and console UX
internal/erf/      ERF/MOD/HAK reading and writing
internal/gff/      canonical GFF JSON and binary conversion
internal/pipeline/ build, extract, compare, and manifest workflows
internal/project/  config loading and repo scanning
internal/validator/validation and diagnostics
tools/             built development binary output

Intended Consumers

• sow-module uses nwn-tool for build-module, extract, validate, compare, and apply-hak-manifest
• sow-assets uses nwn-tool for build-haks and validation

During development, sibling repositories can point at ../sow-tools/tools/nwn-tool. For pinned releases, each consumer repo can instead carry its own copy at tools/nwn-tool.
