This is mainly for testing purposes. Defaults to creating an ain v4
file, which is the same version produced by the SDK compiler.
Also various small improvements so that output matches the SDK compiler:
* add "0" function (currently does nothing)
* add "NULL" function
* compile null return at the end of every function
* set main function index in ain file
Initial support for compiling .jaf (System 4 language) files. So far
this is limited to adding struct definitions and declaring new globals.
The actual bytecode compilation is not yet implemented.
This Bison grammar is based on a C grammar and should cover 95% of the
System 4 language syntax already, though many AST nodes are not yet
implemented.
.S_LOCALASSIGN is now named .STACK_LOCALASSIGN
.STRING_LOCALASSIGN is now named .S_LOCALASSIGN
.S_PUSH is removed (redundant)
This is a breaking change.
Remove the --inline-strings option and implement this behavior as the
default (removing the old behavior). This is done for string only;
messages are still given as integers.
This implementation is a bit different than the broken implementation it
replaces: instead of trying to completely rebuild the string table from
scratch, we simply leave the string table as-is and do a hash-table
lookup to get the corresponding index for all string arguments. If the
string cannot be found, then it is added at the end of the table.
This is NOT implemented for messages because the message table can
contain many duplicate strings and the message index actually matters
for the purpose of tracking previously read messages.
This is a breaking change.
.LOCALINC2/.LOCALDEC2 are semantically identical to .LOCALINC/.LOCALDEC
except that they represent an uglier instruction sequence which is
frequently used in Rance 10.
.LOCALPLUSA/.LOCALMINUSA and .STRING_LOCALASSIGN do what you would
expect.
* Can now extract files from .afa version 3 archives
* Can now extract files from .flat files
* Includes recursively extracting .flat files contained in other
archive formats
* Added option to extract images only
* Now converts images to PNG format by default
* WebP format also supported
Because the table of contents is encrypted in .afa version 3 archives,
the support is a bit limited. Only known file types can be extracted and
they do not retain their original filenames (they are given numbered
filenames instead).
Evenicle2EX.ex uses the previously unknown field data in a different way
that what was assumed. Thanks to that, the unknown data is now more or
less understood:
* uk0 indicates whether there is a value associated with the field
* uk1 indicates whether the field is an index
* uk2 is the value associated with the field, which can be an integer,
float or string (so far, at least...)
Previously it was assumed that uk2 was a single 32-bit integer, but it
can actually store strings as well. Evenicle 2 is the first game to use
a field with a string value other than the empty string, which breaks
this assumption (the empty string is a 32-bit zero, which is why the old
approach worked).
There is now a new syntax for specifying this data. E.g., a field may
now look like this:
indexed string s = ""
where it would previously have looked like this:
string s[1,1,0]
The old syntax is still supported in ainbuild for backwards
compatibility, but is no longer emitted by aindump.
This commit also adds the tool "excmp" which compares two ex files to
see if they are equivalent.
Tool for comparing ain files. This is used by the script rtt.sh to
ensure that disassembling and then reassembling an ain file produces an
equivalent result.
Support for Evenicle 2 and Haha Ranman.
There are a few changes in v14:
* a number of new instructions (semantics yet unknown)
* HLL function arguments and return values can now be complex types
(e.g. arrays, enums)
* support for nested arrays (this isn't necessarily new, but it doesn't
occur in Rance X at all)
Assembler ops which add a new string/message to the ain file and emit an
S_PUSH/MSG instruction. E.g. to display a message box in Rance 10:
.S_PUSH "test"
CALLHLL system MsgBox -1
DELETE
The .STR and (old) .MSG ops are renamed to .SETSTR and .SETMSG.
This is a breaking change.
Rance03.ex has a broken table in which a field type does not match the
type of the data in the corresponding column. So rather than aborting
with an error, exdump will now print a warning when dumping this file.
Same idea as LOCALREF/GLOBALREF, etc. except for accessing struct
members inside of a member function. This is a bit trickier since it
requires knowing which functions belong to which structs, which isn't
directly encoded in the AIN format.
Enough to get text on the screen, but it isn't pretty. No antialiasing,
kerning, vertical placement isn't correct, probably the size isn't even
quite correct, etc.
