For some reason, this doesn't work (seems to enter the largest integer possible for the offset instead). Could've sworn it used to, or at least Nythrun seemed to think so (has it in her macros).
-
Is there any reason (except for expecting WeiDU to actually be consistent) why you can't WRITE_LONG OFFSET (0 - 1)?
-
Yep, have run into the same thing few days earlier while testing my new library.
You can also use ~-1~.

No, I thought the SAY actually worked at one point though. And maybe I expected WeiDU to be consistent. What *was* I thinking?!
-
Now for the non-jerk reply. The code behind SAY is the same between 185 and 211. The problem is that
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Beet5mov1bars1to5.ogg (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Beet5mov1bars1to5.ogg)
standard integers in OCaml are 31 bit signed integers, rather than 32 bit signed. Apparently different versions of OCaml differ in how they hande negative numbers and bitwise operation. I've forced the 'save integer to string' code to always use 32 bit integers (which are available but well-hidden), which fixed the problem.
-
*perfect* clip *)
-
Actually, Beethoven's 5th symphony isn't nearly ominous enough to introduce the idea of 31 bit integers, but I couldn't think of anything better.

You could try movie soundtracks from "Jaws", "The Shining", or perhaps even "The Twilight Zone" :D
-
Perhaps the Geto Boys' timeless classic "Still" (the theme played during the printer/fax machine baseball-bat-bashing in the movie "Office Space").
-
I think this nice little Bambi music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTpa9j60Npg) would also be appropriate.
-
Nythrun seemed to think so (has it in her macros).
I never. SAY is solely for adding new strings, and has been since the .tp2/.d grammar split :)

I dunno, maybe it was something Yovaneth added then. I think I was working with a version of this code (http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?s=&showtopic=9157&view=findpost&p=76429) which, no, does not seem to have that syntax in its original form.
Speaking of which, do we have a macro that does this yet (adds an animation entry to an area) maybe in the last batch added? If not, is it something we can macroise/functionise?
-
Since I'm the usual lazy asshole I'm not going to code macros for handling ARE files, but if you code (and test) them up I have no problems with adding them to 214.
-
Sorry, late to the party, but either Smoketest or devSin taught me back in the day
WRITE_LONG INITIAL_MEETING (BNOT 0x0) // BLANKING SOUNDS
as a fancier looking code-guru-like way of doing it.
-
(BNOT 0x0)... fancier looking...
"Fancier looking"? Like the bigg said... pass the bong.
Why wouldn't you just use (0 - 1) or ~-1~ if you want to set them to -1, which it appears you want to do?
-
BNOT 0 is a cool trick if you don't know 2-complement notation :D

As a working musician, I know lots of notation, but don't get "complements"... (that is a pun, or feeble wordplay humor, for you ESL folks!)

Miloch, you go ahead and test it. I know you love testing :)
Though I see no reason it shouldn't work, the writing macro is from my personal lib and was working reliably.

OK, I don't understand this. With TP2 syntax and a determinate data size, it's simple to express -N as BNOT N-1 (e.g., `0 is -1, or Miloch's version of fancy ~-1~ about as fancy as a cow's rear, or "all bits," which is what we really mean with a null strref).
I call bullshit that you actually had a point there. TP2 CODE OR IT DIDN'T HAPPENZ!
-
2-complement means that "0 - x" is expressed as "(` x) + 1".
-
Like I said, how is `(x-1) a "cool trick" over `1 + 1 at a fixed data size?
E.g., if I want to WRITE_SHORT -126, your implication was that two's-complement would give me something "cooler" than `125?
WHAT COULD BE COOLER THAN `125?
I expect some uber pwnage when you make a statement like "BNOT 0 is a cool trick if you don't know 2-complement notation."
I caught GeN1e stalking pamela123, checking out her profile. You want to ask her out, don't you, GeN1e?
You should. She goes down on the first date.

I thought you were ranking a mere member here, no? Or how can you be knowning if I was checking out a specific profile?
Besides, dev, don't you think you're taking it too far? We all are one big family and we all understand if you can't resist the urge to try and get rough with every underteen slut that comes to PPG, but surely ascribing your perverted carnal desires to me as a form of revenge for me robbing your grandma (hey, that was your suggestion, not mine!) of the photo of you and temujin making out is going beyond all norms assumed in any decent society.

Yeah, that's what I thought.
You been busted, boy! Got caught with your hands in the cookie jar.
But don't feel bad. pamela123's got space for lots of hands.

Eh, who said I feel bad? I thought that was you feeling all bad and jealous about pamela123 choosing the other guy over you.

Has something changed regarding this behavior for WeiDU 214? I'm getting a "ERROR: [mazzy8.cre] -> [override] Patching Failed (COPY) (Invalid_argument("index out of bounds"))" on this code:

*sigh*
Uploading a fixed copy of 214.
-
Uploaded. can you devSin reupload the Mac version?
-
Cheers, it works properly now.
-
So basically, what you're saying is that months of effort spent "testing" new releases in private is just a complete fucking waste of time and effort? It doesn't make one god damn bit of difference?
If you admit it, then I will reupload.

In this particular case, no mod was ever doing SAY xyz #-1 because it didn't work even before, so it wasn't in the test cases. In general, I agree with you that using proper unit testing would be faster than having cmorgan install all mods under the Sun twenty times.

I think aVENGER's comment was that he was using this pre-214. Now, it may not have written 2^32 before, but it's always done 2^31 or whatever and it was used in the prehistoric eras.
I uploaded, like, 10 minutes after talking shit in any case. For $150, I will compile a very special personalized version of WeiDU*. Contact me for details.
*Limited time offer. Not available in certain parts of New York. Limit one compile per customer.

Plus, I'm teh slow, and sometimes have to be told which of the big button-thingies on the funny glowing tube to press in order to misunderstand what I am looking at. But I am much cheaper than devSin. For $5 and a smile, I'll do anything. A N Y T H I N G.
