SRL Archive - Development

Alright. So we're hoping to do a release soon, one of the stoppers is an annoying memory leak in the interpreter, so let's hope that is fixed soon.
Apart from that, we'll focus on the Script Manager, incorporating Niels' DTM Editor and hopefully implement Tabbed Debugging.

Aside from that, any other things I am missing?

Other stuff:
- Improve rs_getuptext. (Can people send cases where it fails)
- srl stats

E: Memory leak fixed.
E2: DTM Editor works; Script Manager in development, probably postponed till after initial release; Tabbed debugging postponed to a future release.

SRL Stats

SRL Stats

I was going to say that also. It would be sweet to have the new stats come out along with Simba too.

Alright, but I have exam stuff till may 28 or something. I was referring to stuff for Simba, btw.

I was thinking that Part of Simba=Script Manager, and Part of Script Manager= New Stats :D

At the contempt of creating a new thread, I will wonder aloud here what if any changes have been made to the forums (which is somewhat relevant since i was under the impression that the forums would reopen with the release of Simba) or if any are planned. If none are made, then i fear that closing registrations will have made very little impact, since nothing has really been done since they closed as far as i can tell.

From my observation lots of people want it. I think it'll increase activity more then you know. I will be back to have my scripts use again. It was a neat thing to have before and I for one really miss it.

Script manager will be really nice though however.

@Dan Cardin
Back end stuff has been done that you don't see on the surface.

There is still SRL-stats (as mentioned here) and bunch of other stuff surface-wise that isn't ready/released yet.

any way of knowing what those are?

What about an embedded ACA?

Maybe clean up the unneeded debugs like "Extension enabled" or "Loading extension" or "Succesfully saved" or "<no parameters expected>".

I don't really like the "Is it Writeln(?" feature. :/ It doesn't show anything, really. And if you have something like Writeln(Between('!', '@', '!Hi@'));, it won't show the parameters for Between. :< That'd be really nice. :)

I agree with you, but not with the: "Succesfully saved"

I believe I removed the "Is it .." debugline some time ago? If you want param completion for Between use Ctrl + Shift + Space (for now).

What bothers me is that code hints from plugins (such as smart) don't show up. Or is there a way to turn that on? (Ctrl + Shift + Space didn't do anything).

When I use automatic code hint's Simba takes up 50% of the CPU… (Dual core) :(
(The code hint box flashes rapidly)

I think it is not double buffered yet. Due to some problems with multiple-platforms we have to partially use our own drawing. This needs to be done as well.

Because plugins need to be "enabled" inside the script, it is kind of annoying to import those functions, so they do not work yet.

That's a thingy we should look into :)

What to you mean "enabled" and how do you do it?

In Simba you need to do {.loadDLL yourDLL} before you can access the functions from the DLL. But I haven't integrated this in the parser yet.

Yah I loaded it but I guess its cuz of the parser thing like you said.

I'm not too fond of how extended's are expressed. :<

var
  x: Extended;

begin
  x := 5.0;
  Writeln('x: '+ToStr(x));
end.

Fixed!

D: No change for ToString? </3

I actually like the way that ToStr does them.

Regarding the extra output strewn around, there was the idea thrown around in http://bugs.villavu.com/view.php?id=154 but it seems to have no eventuated (probably being a separate issue to that original ticket)

Added libraries to the code completion :)

Added a sleep(1), which seems to cut down cpu usage a lot (to around 1%).

Also, the DTM editor is pretty much ready for usage. Simba needs a few adjustments before it can work fully (DTMtoString and TMufasaBitmap in extensions).

Thanks a lot :p


rs_GetUpText fails if there is a skull in-between the characters (the one you get when attacking people in pvp)

Memory leak fixed, and exams are over… :D

If you use the functionss PosterizeBitmap() or GreyscaleBitmap() (or any of those cool bitmap-altering functions), simba will create one more bitmap each time those functions are called.

var
  Bmp, I : Integer;
begin
  Bmp := BitmapFromClient(0, 0, 50, 50);
  for I := 1 to 9 do
    Bmp := GreyscaleBitmap(Bmp);
end.
{
Compiled succesfully in 16 ms.
Successfully executed.
The following bitmaps were not freed: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
}

It's meant to do that..

Even though I am calling it like this?: Bmp := GreyscaleBitmap(Bmp); ?

Doesn't make sense to me…

^ Check the sawse to see how it works! :D

Well, that will lead to a leak. Use like this:

newBmp := GreyScaleBitmap(bmp);
FreeBitmap(bmp);
bmp := newBmp;

Yeah, I figured I would have to do it like that :(

EDIT: OCR Test with skulls:

Even I have problems reading what it says.. so I guess it isn't really a problem :p

Yeah, skulls are known to cause issues. Not sure how to handle that so far.

What about getting the image over X time, with intervals that way the noise could be reduced?

Then throw that image through the filter.

Possibly use this as an *ex* of sorts.

Make it and see if it works.

Post updated.
