SCI Companion V3 - alpha build notes/bugs/feature requests

Choke on which parts?

[MusicallyInspired]

The parts that differ between compilers I guess?

[troflip]

That's just it, there's only one compiler. So I'm not really sure what he means.

I guess I could output a warning if there is a synonyms clause in the script and I'm writing to a SCI1+ script resource. That's about all I can think of. But hardly anyone uses those, so it seems a bit pointless.

I was just kicking around ideas to facilitate MI's suggestion to ease porting an SCI0 game to SCI1.1. What cannot be automated needs to be identified to manually fix it. If the compiler would halt when it finds an unsupported elements and the script and line number were identified it would make finding what needs to be fixed faster.

[troflip]

It would be nice, but I can't really think of anything in that category (easily identifiable and obviously wrong).

[troflip]

I've uploaded a new version with the fix for the corrupted SCI0 script resource generation (it also affected SCI1.1, but not in a fatal way).

OK, Aquarius converted to Sierra script works now. I will try a few more as I get time.

I tried NSIS Publisher as a plugin with this version. It is not passing the argument of the project's path, so no automatic publish. I also need to make some adjustments to handle reading the Sierra scripts.

I think I see the problem... it doesn't work with paths with spaces in them. I'll try enclosing the path in quotes...

[edit:] yup, that fixed it.

Could you upload a binary? I am trying to track down an odd problem where I am getting a CRC mismatch on the installer. Adding a wait solves it, but that causes a delay in the form showing for a few seconds, which I would rather avoid. I would like to track it down by calling it from Companion.

Replace your SCICompanion.exe with this one ^^^^

Thanks

I've done another update of the documentation at scicompanion.com. Mostly just syntax and class renaming, but also some basic tutorials here:

http://scicompanion.com/Documentation/sci11_tutorial.html

I think that's the extent of the tutorials I'll do for the core documentation, so any further (or more explanatory) stuff should go in the tutorials forum here.

[MusicallyInspired]

I suppose there's no offline version of these docs is there? Just download the htmls?

[troflip]

They're included with SCI Companion, accessed from the Help menu. The ones on the site are slightly more up-to-date though (eventually they'll be the same).

Using 3.0.1.1 and opened my current project. Without changing anything, compiled all.

In View.sc
Undeclared identifier 'noCycler' line 118, col:55
Unknown procedure 'CanBeHere'. lin:854, col:27

Just to make sure I wasn't crazy, opened game back up in v .13 and compile all finishes fine.
