Everything-Else / Re: Infocom Source Code Released (in ZIL language)
« Last post by gumby on April 17, 2019, 08:50:35 PM »That's awesome, all I've ever worked with was output based on de-compiled code combined with symbol files (sound familiar?) resulting in 'inform-ish' scripts. This is making me want to get back to my Zork project, very nice

"So, Infocom source code is now uploaded to Github. Most people don't speak or want to speak the language it's written in, ZIL (Zork Implementation Language). You can browse through it and kind of suss out what's being done when and the choices made over the course of time."

« Last post by Kawa on April 13, 2019, 04:10:13 AM »Perfectly well, thank you. It's not exactly drunk coding.
As you know, text resources are quite under-used in SCI11, in favor of messages. The only text resources you can expect to find are some debug format strings. Now, my toolset includes a message converter that can go from the raw message resource to a text file in the same format as SV and back again, with the added ability to have defined names instead of numbers, comment lines, references, and of course UTF8 if the file has a magic marker as the first line.
If I were to make a text resource counterpart and made it use SV-style output too, you'd get this visually strange case where each entry has a number key, but they're not actually part of the file and don't add anything when editing the data for later conversion back to a resource. The only reason to keep them in is to allow multi-line entries: if a line starts with a tab, it's part of the current entry (the message table parser uses a bunch of tabs, and still allows more to be part of the line proper). But if I remove the superfluous numbers, I can't easily tell if a newline ends the current entry, or is actually part of the entry.

then ENTER to continue.

Well, besides comment lines, obviously you could enable line numbers in your text editor and subtract one to make it zero-based... or you just frikken import the resource and look it up from inside SCI Companion?10
