From 6th of January 2016, around midnight, so maybe started on 5th Stuff is loosely interpreted and sometimes modified. If there is anything untruthful, bad or w/e then take it out on me, JayFoxRox.
thelink2012: welcome to check gta3sc project itself too :P Deji's one is more focused in compiling SA code; mine, VC and III (in fact, I created it trying to compile GTA 3 source code, as it already does)
(This means thelink2012 is our go-to-guy for anything script related from now on!)
thelink2012: Hey, I came from your message on https://gitter.im/Deji69/SCRambl I'm @thelink2012 that you see chatting with Deji above I'm, as him, one of the few people interested in the original scripting language of the game and I have a commands.xml that's usable in III and VC
thelink2012: https://github.com/thelink2012/gta3sc/tree/master/config/gta3
JayFoxRox: may I know the origin of said (commands.xml) file? reading on gtamodding most of the info seems to originate in the "leaked" R* compiler from GTA3 anni. (what's the state of legality of that?)
thelink2012: It was generated off Rockstar's leaked compiler for VC and then matched the difference between 3 commands and VC and fixed them (a few)
JayFoxRox: was it also extended in some way? such as adding argument names or something? will there be updates in the future or is it considered final? [re commands.xml]
thelink2012: ah.. yes.. it was extended https://github.com/thelink2012/gta3sc/blob/master/config/gta3sc.py see init_from_node and to_node in the Argument and Command classes ("code is best documentation :P")
JayFoxRox: I don't want to deal with the copyrighted stuff from the leaked R* compiler so we'll probably only use the argument names / types and use sanny builder files for the opcode names
thelink2012: doubt there's any legal problem in generating data from the so leaked compiler JayFoxRox: yeah R* doesn't even care about the LC TC mod despite it leaking all their assets into the wild :P I'm just slightly worried that they will care if people can just compile their own GTA3 / VC / SA for any platform to come as it will still be a quick cashgrab in the next 20 years or so for them otherwise thelink2012: haha
thelink2012: well R* stuff is just a array of:
typedef struct SCommand // sizeof = 0x43
{
bool m_bIsHandled;
char m_szCommandName[MAX_CMD_NAME_LENGTH];
char m_aArgumentTypes[MAX_CMD_ARGUMENTS];
} TCommand;
JayFoxRox: so all the argument names are community provided?
thelink2012:
Desc=""? .. yeah
JayFoxRox: can I share this with other OpenRW devs or even publicly?
thelink2012: absolutely
