SCI Development Tools / Re: SCICompanion: Can't find an audio resource (opening theme) in GK1CD
« on: Today at 01:31:11 PM »(Can someone give few examples of improvements?)It copies a few things from Phil's own unreleased work, from bugfixes to certain extra features, and then adds some of my own. To quote the readme:
- "Shrinkwrap cel" command
- Effectively remove the SCI Studio dialect as an option, as a discouragement.
- &exists, as in (if (&exists theX) ...) instead of (if (>= argc 1) ...).
- foreach, as in (foreach val array ...) or (foreach val collection ...) where the collection is anything using the Node kernel and has an elements property.
- verbs, see below.
- No nagging when you paste something with the transparency color in it.
- Better massaging of the Display kernel call in decompilation.
- &getpoly, so instead of the SCI Companion template game's way to load polygons you can easily get bytecode more like Sierra's, without sacrificing easy editings. See below!
- Support for a pair of opcodes that replace the Memory peek/poke kernel call. Phil came up with it for his own games, and I stole it for SCI11+.
Unlisted in the readme:
- Control-click to sample colors in the image editors, instead of constantly swapping.
- Warning during compilation if an instance seems unused.
- Built-in true and false keywords instead of defining them in a header.
Verbs and getpoly example:
Code: [Select]
(instance aPuddle of cdFeature
(properties
noun N_PUDDLE
doNotFace true
)
(method (init)
(super init:)
(self setOnMeCheck: omcPOLYGON (&getpoly "Puddle"))
; (&getpoly "") would be the default one, as in (gRoom addObstacle: (&getpoly "")).
)
(verbs
(V_LOOK
(gMessager say: N_PUDDLE V_LOOK (if (Btest fDayOnePuddleChecked) C_CHECKEDPUDDLE else 0) 1 0 scriptNumber)
)
(V_DO
(Bset fDayOneHinted)
(if (Btest fDayOnePuddleChecked)
(gMessager say: N_PUDDLE V_LOOK C_CHECKEDPUDDLE 1 0 scriptNumber)
else
(Bset fDayOnePuddleChecked)
(gRoom setScript: InspectPuddleScript)
)
)
)
)
