Title: Where to get SCI0 documentation in 2020?
Post by: cosmicr on August 30, 2020, 11:32:19 PM

There's broken links everywhere!

I've trawled through and found some older documentation from SCI Studio, but I'm using SCI Companion and Sierra Script for SCI0. Is there a source for that documentation? (I'm aware it's just syntax but it's the convenience I'm after).

Or is there a definitive place to find all documentation that doesn't have broken links?

Thanks in advance.

PS My first post in probably 7 or 8 years haha. Some of you may remember me from MegaTokyo Forum days (and even before that!)

SCI Companion has very good documentation:

Thanks but unfortunately it also has a broken link to the SCI0 stuff I need.

http://scicompanion.com/Documentation/legacy.html

I think I've found what I want now anyway at http://sciwiki.sierrahelp.com//index.php?title=SCI_Kernel_Documentation assuming it's compatible.

You're right. This part was removed from SCI Companion's documenatation.

You can view its latest snapshot here:

However, this is just SCI Studio's documentation which can be also found here:

Great thanks.

This should be enough to keep me going. It's all coming together :)

I may end up writing a tutorial if I can get far enough. Even with my experience it has taken a bit of head scratching to get my head around it all. I think another perspective may help some people.

I'll be quite interested in what you come up with/what you're working on.

I'm also working on SCI0 game using sierra script!
