Title: SQ3: missing defines in decompilation?
Post by: ZvikaZ on July 21, 2020, 08:56:04 AM

Well, another SQ3 question :-)

When I decompile it with latest SCICompanion, there are compilation errors in rm001.sc - it uses unrecognized constants:

Code: [Select]

Error: (rm001.sc) Undeclared identifier 'dsWIDTH' .  Line: 98, col: 6
Error: (rm001.sc) Undeclared identifier 'dsCOORD' .  Line: 100, col: 6
and more errors follow.

With Phil's version, it just uses numerical values.

i.e.,

Code: [Select]

                    (Display
                        {^D 1989 Sierra On-Line, Inc.}
                        106
                        250
                        100

instead of:

Code: [Select]

(Display
{\04 1989 Sierra On-Line, Inc.}
dsWIDTH
250
dsCOORD

Of course, I prefer Kawa's version...
But what is missing?
'grep' didn't help me find where these are defined.

They're defined in sci.sh. If you grepped in the game's src folder you wouldn't find it. Are you missing an (include sci.sh) line?

Well, I *do* have the (include sci.sh) line, but it doesn't seem to find the sci.sh file.
That explains another error/warning I got:

Code: [Select]

Unable to load \.

If I comment the (include sci.sh), this Unable to load \. disappears.

So, my problem is that SCICompanion can't find the sci.sh file.

Solved it, by copying the latest SCICompanion.exe I was using (which was standalone, without any files), to a directory with older installation of SCICompanion.

Now it's working!
Thanks

I should put a startup check in...

That would be great.
And also, maybe put a zip file with everything, in your stash, instead of just the .exe file.

Done and done.
