SRL Archive - General News

Why hello there dear Simba testers/followers. :)

This week will most likely feature a first (semi-)public Simba release. (Semi-public implying that it will be released for SRL-Members only first.)

So our question to you is, are there any things that you absolutely want to see (or have fixed) before we do a (semi-)public release?

We will probably spend our time this week on writing more documentation, and stabilizing current features. Testing scripts with SRL 4 is hopefully something I'll get to myself as well; Fakawi made some good scripts.

For the interested; here is a list of things we want to add in the next month: http://git.villavu.com/?p=simba.git;a=blob;f=todo.txt;h=3347b27c42bfa3cc30b8fa98b1fbf6c57c7182e4;hb=d6ef12ef159c0531f1b61caccd980eed20f9eb17
The one thing not mentioned on that list is the Script Manager, which I hope to create this week, before the initial release.

Cheers,
Simba Development Team

I just noticed that all my functions don't show up in the functions list. Only the first 4 show up. The scroll wheel on my mouse doesn't work to scroll through the code, I have to use the scroll bar.

When using the function list, I would rather see the function show up at the top, rather than the bottom, but that's just me.

Just a couple things I noticed in the last couple minutes.

E: Btw, I absolutely love the includes feature on the functions list! :)

That is because your code doesn't get parsed correctly by the parser ;). Try doing ctrl + space, somewhere at the bottom and check the console, it will be filled with parsing errors :redface:.

About the mouse-scroll, no clue what causes that?? Doesn't happen here, and shouldn't happen anywhere :p


Btw, not sure if the DTM/Bitmap editor will be implemented in time.. They are kinda time consuming to make.

EDIT: Note that when this is released, the interpreter still won't work perfectly, as the result-array is still broken. Thus one needs to include SRL/simba.simb to make it work proper.

I'm not on my computer right now, but is there code hints yet?

Yup, it was implimented in a couple of days ago :)

But that never used to happen, is there some way to fix it?

Code hints as in the feature that shows the functions parameters when you do something like FindDTM(? If so, I don't have that…

And yes, I have the latest version.

Cohen, you have to type out the procedure/function for it to work. You can't click like you could before. And if you change anything really it seems to mess up. Type out Writeln( and it should work. :)

Oohhh!

Save as default pl0x? :3 I enjoyed that feature in SCAR.

Oh okay I see. Well in that case it would be cool if the code hints showed up when you double click one of the functions from the function list. :)

fix OCR! ;)

We'll see what we can do about your problem. :)

If you click once, you'll find the declaration in the status bar :)

If it is really the errors in your code, you can fix them and it should work (you probably forgot some semicolons). What script did you try it with?

Mine. I can't see myself forgetting semicolons. Do you know how anal I am about how my code looks? :p

But I will take a look.

Looks like it's a bug in the parser:

else if ((i - 3) < Length(RandSolved) - 1 {for Death}) then

doesn't work, but

else if ((i - 3) < Length(RandSolved) - 1) then

does..

Ahh, I remember raymond saying something about curly brackets behaving weird in Simba. I can't recall using them much for comments, but that may be the problem.

Thanks

I think its more the braces in code statements ;)

It was a problem in my code ;)
I think Raymond meant that Simba highlights nested comments, while Pascal Script doesn't parse them as nested comments.

Well either way, I can't figure out why the functions don't show up. It shows Stats_SendReport as the last function in the script.

E: I'm actually having all sorts of problems with Simba. Idk if it's because I'm running through Wine, but a lot of things don't seem to be working properly.

Have you changed line 385? Anyway, I found the bug and it'll be fixed.

Oh, lmao I didn't realize that was actually part of your stats code. :duh:

The functions list works now. :p

Cohen, is your WINE set to the correct windows distribution? Try playing with the setting, I would suggest XP if its on anything lower.

Worth a shot :)

It was already at XP. I messed around a bit, but I still get the same thing.

I need some accounts in randoms to check whether the plugins in Simba work correctly.. Please? :)

Evil bob + Quiz solved successfully :).
Mime fails, but this is broken for SCAR as well :p.

Now I would like to test Leo as well, since this solving is done purely in the plugin..

Woot!
Masta: I tested Leo a while back in simba (2 weeks ago), all credit to icefire, it was absolutely superb, flawless and reliable.

D: I just buried 4k bones and I got nooo randoms. All autoed, too. :/ Lame.

(x] I like how I'm upset about not getting randoms. :p)

:redface: I changed the plugin yesterday so it might be different now :p

Lol… Do another 4k, bones are cheap, no? :spot:

They're 160 each. It cost 640k.

Do it 99, that not very expensive?

Yay leo solved perfectly in Simba! Big plus for Iroki ^_^
