🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cntraining [-D dir] FILE...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: cntraining takes a whole list of .tr files, and out of those it generates the normproto data file. that's the character normalization sensitivity prototypes — the thing that makes your characters behave themselves. lowkey iconic 👑

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -D dir — the directory to write output files to. that's it. that's the whole option list. she's simple, she's focused, she ate 💅

ngl there's nothing sketchy on this page — just don't forget the .tr files exist before you run it, and that -D is the only knob you get. periodt 💜
