new dltcep features, what's new in V7.0 Options

[Avenger_teambg]

1. internal decompiler, this might yield better (or at least different) results as a weidu decompilation. This part might need improvements, i'm still looking for bugreports.

2. BAM splitter. It is possible to take the large PST animations and create a BAM which is usable in the other engine versions.

3. TP2 output. It is possible to generate the SAY <offset> <string> stuff automatically.

Hey there, Avenger; I am not sure who can read common workroom stuff, so I thought I had better post over here on this. I am hoping it is my error, but I tested vs NI and got some odd results compiling/decompiling scripts using the beta DLTCEP. Info follows:

I was troubleshooting a section of code that worked perfectly on my last install, but had troubles now.

I compiled the code (snip of relevant section)
/* Found Gorion's Body too late*/
IF
Global("X#ImGorBody","FW2700",1)
RealGlobalTimerExpired("X#ImGorBody","GLOBAL")
THEN

which worked perfectly before;
a check in DLTCEP showed the code reads:

IF
Global("X#ImGorBody","FW2700",1)
Realglobaltimerexpired("rBody","X#IMGO")
THEN


A check of some of the other scripts compiled shows a very few errors like this; hard to track down.


Any ideas on what causes this?

Which WeiDU version is it using to compile? Is it different to before?

nope: and I can confirm, stuff that has been working on compilation before is occasionally having results like

Realglobaltimerexpired("ndTalkTime","IMFRIE")

I KNOW this was not the case with these variables; I have been through them time and time again. This is not a typo; it is definite. I am rechecking in NI to be sure it is not a DLTCEP thing;

OK - panick over. NI sees this as perfectly fine. I am flagging this for Avenger as a DLTCEP beta problem; sorry for the scare.

A comparison read of decompiled scripts on DLTCEP Beta and NearInfinity-1.33b19-1.jar gives the decompiled references seen in NI as truncated references in DLTCEP. It appears localized to
RealGloberTimerExpired
with values longer than 5 or 6 characters.

Scripts comiled from BAF have this truncation, as do existing in-game scripts decompiled.
