Mac Daodan
- What's the possibility of making something Daodan-like for the Mac, or placing function calls in code caves? --rossy 11:18, 10 October 2008 (CEST)
- Define "code caves"; I'm not sure there's many of those, and we can't go very far with a hackish approach anyway. As for DLL-similar stuff, SFeLi said it was feasible and even relatively easy with Mach-O files: I haven't looked into that myself. --geyser 18:06, 10 October 2008 (CEST)
- Code caves? There are a ton of those in the Mac executable :) Neo
- http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/code_cave Sounds neat\useful, for someone who is good at asm.Gumby 05:38, 16 October 2008 (CEST)

Uppercase letters at the console
- Issue still unsolved as of 06:39, 22 October 2008 (CEST)
Hmm, about the Shift key not being 'accessible'... I actually never noticed before that one cannot type capital letters on the command line, and if I did notice it I would have assumed the PC version was the same. So, one point and one question:
- It's not exactly true that the Shift key is not accessible or not recognized, because I can type important characters like the underscore and parentheses. It's merely that uppercase letters cannot be typed.
- Is the lack of access to uppercase letters an issue? This is total news to me, so naturally I am curious as to whether this has been a problem on the Mac side of things that I never knew about. --Iritscen 03:04, 7 October 2008 (CEST)
- The PC command line has no major issues: uppercase letters can be entered both on PC and PC demo. There are occasional glitches with autocompletion and some inconsistencies with multithreading (i.e., "fork"ing may not work as expected when launched from the console). Also, the command line is not displayed properly or at all at large resolutions.
- Thanks for the disambiguation about the Shift key. Ed didn't make it clear how exactly it didn't work. Do you confirm that the only characters that can't be entered are uppercase letters? Also, Ed, how long have your 3 "known issues" been around? Right from the moment when the Dev Mode was unlocked?
- The original variables and functions (preset of scripted) are all lowercase, but team names are capitalized, and many AI names contain uppercase letters as well. So lowercase-only input can be frustrating. The obvious workaround is to use scripts more, so that all command line statements can be lowercase.

- Just confirmed it to make sure; only a-z cannot be modified by the Shift key, i.e., become uppercase. All other characters that require Shift can be typed. And thanks for the answer on what uses uppercase, the team names and AI names slipped my mind. I tested that as well, hoping that the Mac would ignore case, but alas; the console indeed does not recognize any team names without the uppercase letters. --Iritscen 04:02, 7 October 2008 (CEST)
- Iritscen, you beat me to it. The SHIFT key does not work in Dev Mode to enter uppercase letters (I should have been more specific, sorry). How long have I've known these issues? The SHIFT key problem was discovered when you, (geyser) asked me to enter some code in the console, I forgot when that happened. The Window mode issue was known as soon as it was figured out how to run Omni group's version in a window. I'm sure this was mentioned at some point, either here or at OCF. The problems with the Numpad key was known back in Jan 2007 and you suggested using the key_config.txt file EdT 04:11, 7 October 2008 (CEST)

Large textures
The crash report is now history, but let's clarify the status of the patch at 0x001151C3. Is it irrelevant and can it be reverted?
- 0x001151C3 needs to be changed to 0x40 for 1024 textures, reverting to 0x04 or 0x10 results in crashes. Fortunately, I had already changed it to 0x40 prior to the latest patch.EdT 07:17, 22 October 2008 (CEST)
Projectile awareness
Still pending...
BSL functions
Cleaning up previous talk, see history if you need reference
- Redeeming cm_barabus, because it looks like it works after all, and could be useful to both scripters and video makers (basically it interpolates the camera until it focuses on a certain character). So, Ed, please revert it.
- Scrapping all 11 ai2_skill_* functions, because their table entries and strings are conveniently grouped. Putting 11 "essentials" there. If you want to tweak shooting skills, use another version ^_^
- Keeping chr_holdkey as chr_location for now; may move it around later ^_^
- Turning ai2_panic into equally useless chr_draw_dot; we may change it later ^_^
- Turning ai2_chump into modder-oriented chr_who; we may change it later ^_^
- Turning ai2_printbnvindex into ui_fill_element; we may change it later ^_^
- For the big continuous patch you probably don't want to go nuts doing it byte by byte like I did, so grab a patched engine HERE and copy the relevant sections over to your backup. I used the big table below to proofread the patch, and we may still need it to check function pointers etc if something doesn't work.

BSL variables
- Unsolved as of 06:39, 22 October 2008 (CEST). Needs a trimmed list of necessary PC vars matched with disposable Mac vars.
Since sc_bind_f2 and sc_bind_f3 won't work, the OTA needs to be rewritten whatever we do. Probably waiting for special anims should be replaced with waiting for hotkeyed variables like fast_mode (Ctrl+Shift/Alt+F), draw_every_frame (Ctrl+Shift/Alt+G), or gs_show_performance (Ctrl+Shift/Alt+Y). If this is done in the randomizer loop, there will actually be fewer contexts pushed than in the current version. There will also be no counterintuitive keypress sequences (F9,F2,F10), no spurious FILM files and no risk of buffer overflow. --geyser 06:39, 22 October 2008 (CEST)
- Can you give a script example of waiting for hotkeyed variables? I would like to test it out. Thanks EdT 20:45, 28 October 2008 (CET)

- Trying to list necessary variables off the top of my head (omitting sc_bind_f2 and sc_bind_f3, which won't work): --geyser 06:39, 22 October 2008 (CEST)
- co_display (to run stuff in dev mode without cluttering up the screen with debug messages all the time)
- fast_mode (Ctrl+Shift/Alt+F)
- draw_every_frame (Ctrl+Shift/Alt+G)
- show_performance (Ctrl+Shift/Alt+Y)
- li_center_cursor (to reclaim -noswitch; not sure it can be done)
- chr_pin_character
- Camera management
- cm_distance
- cm_height
- cm_canter_weapon
- cm_canter_unarmed
- wp_scale_adjustment

- chr_lod (do we really need this?)
- door_ignore_locks
- gs_input_accel

- chr_mini_me
- chr_mini_me_amount
- wp_kickable
- fx_laser_width
- m3_fill_solid
- m3_shade_vertex
- gs_show_environment
That's 33, which is a lot. 25 if we kick out the goofy. 24 if li_center_cursor doesn't work.
Brainstorming
Below are two little tables and two big ones. The first table is variables that don't seem to work but probably do, with the special case of ai2_boss_battle beilng used in [compound]. Then there's a small table of "huh" variables that are almost certainly disposable. Then there are tables (mutually exclusive, but overlapping with the small ones): debug/display things (32 items) and not-likely-to-be-tweaked things (17 items). Those would disempower modders and hackers but wouldn't change much or anything for level logic. 49 variables is a lot, but we have to choose wisely, and may end up having to maintain two versions of the Mac engine, one with debug stuff, the other with stuff that is meant to be used in scripts. --geyser 05:14, 10 October 2008 (CEST)
- I'll start testing the variables and those I find that do not have a visible effect, I'll add to the possibly broken and disposable section. EdT 07:08, 10 October 2008 (CEST)
- Is it possible to add gs_show_ui? That would be useful when taking screenshots or videos without the HUD. I can maintain 2 versions of the Mac Engine, I think a very small number would need the debug features, but having more PC compatible commands will be more appealing since Mac users will be able to play more scripts. Plus it will make it easier for the script writers since there one script fits all! EdT 21:53, 10 October 2008 (CEST)
- Ed, you can use ui_show_element(left,0) and ui_show_element(right,0) instead of gs_show_ui=0; and don't forget ui_suppress_prompt=0 and such. The compatibility of scripts, of course, is the main goal. I just wanted to make sure you backed up the versions prior to those rewiring of mine because we are screwing with the engine in hackish ways and may want to take a few steps back. --geyser 02:01, 11 October 2008 (CEST)
- Thank you, I did not know about that command, that saves one variable :-) I seem to recall another PC command door_ignore_locks used in some script, this might be useful... EdT 05:40, 11 October 2008 (CEST)
- According to Neo sc_bind_f2, sc_bind_f3 cannot be added because the are strings and neither can gs_fov_set be added. However, he was able to add co_display and door_ignore_locks EdT 00:38, 16 October 2008 (CEST)
- He was able to add them? So he gave you the fish after all? ^_^ If you want to allow me to give you more fish this week-end, please document the new fish in more detail, so that I know what disposable variables I can no longer use. As for gs_fov_set, it's a pity, gonna ask Neo what's the matter with it. --geyser 01:18, 16 October 2008 (CEST)

- Just curious, why wp_kickable? I have tried, and I cannot figure out what is stopping Konoko from kicking weapons...Gumby 05:36, 16 October 2008 (CEST)
- I'll probably change wp_kickable to something else. wp_kickable allows the AI's to kick or move the weapon that's on the ground, but Konoko or the player cannot. EdT

That's 16, but the last 6 can't be used (marketing_line_off is used and the other 5 are "registered elsewhere"). So, 10.
Summary
All in all, we apparently have a maximum of 35 disposable variables, and a total of 31 on the wishlist. My suggestion:
- If li_center_cursor works, leave these 4: ai2_spacing_cookies, ai2_spacing_enable, ai2_spacing_weights, ai2_barabbas_run.
- If li_center_cursor doesn't work, leave these 5: ai2_melee_weightcorrection, ai2_spacing_cookies, ai2_spacing_enable, ai2_spacing_weights, ai2_barabbas_run.
- Maybe don't keep anything and add 4 or 5 extras instead, like draw_every_frame_multiple, gs_screen_shot_reduce...
Convert stuff "en masse" (there will be large contiguous blocks in the table, and in the name/description pool as well, although less so).
The 3 blocks are as follows:
- ai2_showpaths
- ai2_showgrids
- ai2_showdynamicgrids
- ai2_showpathfindingerrors
- ai2_showconnections
- ai2_showactivationpaths
- ai2_showastar
- ai2_showcombatranges
- ai2_showvision
- ai2_showprediction
- ai2_showtargeting
- ai2_showlasers
- ai2_showlos
- ai2_showprojectiles
- ai2_showfiringspreads
- ai2_showlocalmelee
- ai2_showfights
- ai2_shownames
- ai2_showhealth
- ai2_showjoblocations
- ai2_showlinetochar
- ai2_showsounds
- ai2_printspawn
- ai2_blind
- ai2_deaf
- KEEP DEFINITELY
- ai2_chump_stop
- ai2_stopignoring_count
- ai2_stopignoring_time
- ai2_melee_weightcorrection (keep if no extras and li_center_cursor doesn't work)
- ai2_spacing_enable (keep if no extras)
- ai2_spacing_cookies (keep if no extras)
- ai2_spacing_weights (keep if no extras)
- ai2_barabbas_run (keep if no extras)
- KEEP DEFINITELY
- ai2_showintersections
- ai2_debug_localmovement
- ai2_debug_localpathfinding
- ai2_debug_showsettingIDs
(this does not necessarily correspond to contiguous strings)
And our wishlist is like this:
- co_display
- fast_mode
- draw_every_frame
- show_performance
- li_center_cursor
- chr_pin_character
- cm_distance
- cm_height
- cm_canter_weapon
- cm_canter_unarmed
- wp_scale_adjustment
- chr_aim_width
- chr_auto_aim_arc
- chr_auto_aim_dist
- chr_block_angle
- chr_disable_melee
- chr_weapon_auto_aim
- chr_all_active
- chr_disable_visactive
- chr_draw_all_characters
- chr_lod
- door_ignore_locks
- gs_input_accel
- gs_show_corpses
- single_step
- chr_big_head_amount
- chr_mini_me
- chr_mini_me_amount
- wp_kickable
- fx_laser_width
- m3_fill_solid
- m3_shade_vertex
- gs_show_environment
33, to which we can add 4 or 5 extras like draw_every_frame_multiple, gs_screen_shot_reduce...
- My impression is that there's plenty of space to accomodate all that. So let's do it.
