Revamp of Older Mods
« on: February 24, 2008, 09:47:58 AM »
I did a search of the forums and only found 1 post that referred to a typical line you run across in Ascension scripts. That line being !Dead("astSeenBy())"). From what I understood this is a decompiler bug that remains permanent in the mods files once t is recompiled? I just want to verify this particular error should be replaced by !StateCheck(LastSeenBy(Myself),STATE_REALLY_DEAD before going through and changing things, because there are several of those errors in many scripts.

Moved to the Modding Help forum because this is not a WeiDU issue.

Fixpack rebuilds these as

    REPLACE_TEXTUALLY %Dead("yself)")% %StateCheck(Myself,STATE_REALLY_DEAD)%

I am not sure what you mean about persistent malformation on compilation... doesn't fixing it first in the stack result in the correctly formed trigger persisting?

(holy cow - sorry  - "doesn't fixing it once early carry through to everything else?")


Edit: hey, erebusant - are the Ascension scripts sent out as .bcs or as .baf? Because in my humble opinion, if there is a choice, I'd decompile them all, then run Textpad and do all the fixes, and then distribute /hand over to the Ascension folks as working copy the decompiled stuff. Same with The Vault, etc. It makes things easier to search and fix in text editors rather than using NI and DLTCEP.
