If you'll look through the recent topics, you'll see loads and loads of info on my decompiler. It would allow editing of games when done (it's close to being done).
The code written (ie. (send gEgo:something) ) would actually compile to:
pushi 123
push0
lag $0
send 4
That's why you see code like that in the disassembler. Sierra wrote code similar to the (send gEgo: something) as well, and it is compiled to the same assembly language. The decompiler reconstructs it into a high-level language state, which would allow the editing and recompilation of code.
As for the disassembler, SCI supports inline assembly, so you could put the code in your scripts like this:
(asm
pushi #something
push0
lag gEgo
send 4
)
I did write a disassembler that disassembled script with all the code in (asm) blocks so it could be recompiled and edited, but I never released it because it wasn't for the regular user. I used it to help create the VGA template.
SCI Studio 4 should allow the editing of Sierra games, though as mentioned in the previous messages, it will be an as-is feature for the skillfuls. I don't want to write docs on editing scripts for newbies because I don't want lamers destroying Sierra games
. I'll leave the editing to those who have the natural skill and thus, should use them responsibly.
