Compiling

Compile a MegaloProgram into Reach variant data.

Custom variants (.mglo)

import { parse, compileCustomVariant, encodeCustomVariantMglo } from "@blamnetwork/megalo";
import { decodeCustomVariantMglo } from "@blamnetwork/megalo";

const program = parse(source);
const base = decodeCustomVariantMglo(existingMgloBytes); // optional template
const variant = compileCustomVariant(program, base);
const mglo = encodeCustomVariantMglo(variant);

When recompiling an edited script, pass the original variant as base so unchanged fields (map permissions, HUD layout, and so on) are preserved.

Game variants (gametypes)

import { parse, compileGameVariant } from "@blamnetwork/megalo";

const program = parse(source);
const variant = compileGameVariant(program, baseGameVariant);

Use the appropriate megalo version when the target build differs from the default MCC layout — see Megalo versions.

BLF output

For saving back to a .blf file, use the gametype helpers in Gametypes & BLF (compileGametypeForSave, patchGvarInBlf, and related exports).
