File metadata and controls

121 lines (118 loc) · 4.81 KB

Immediate

  • make state labels symbols (not strings) as a syntax safeguard
  • dialog docs: make some pictures with graphviz
  • try a mini-mod: patch imoen.dlg
  • heavily-modded EET has 82k key resources, 90k overrides, 100k strings

Mod structure

NEEDS:

  • API for a given mod:
  • newmod(dir): creates skeleton
  • suggestion: include("moddir/setup.jl")
  • automatic generation of Julia module + namespace() - [ ] use objectid(@__MODULE__) in namespaces? or directory?
  • translate(dir): creates/updates .po files
  • install(dir): installs mod
  • binary resources!
  • uninstall(dir) (harder!)
  • validate(dir)
  • also checks correctness of metadata (in module global vars!)
  • module metadata: module name, description, author, url (for git)
  • global variables for mod metadata (AUTHOR etc. spring to mind)
  • Mod components
  • component list/tree + metadata: dependencies, parameters

Translations

  • find something better than ?{M} to indicate gendered dialog
  • language() also loads the translation files (any .po in current directory)
  • make xgettext-mode easily accessible from author-side e.g. use InfinityEngine; translate_mod("foobar.jl")
  • translation is done for all game languages
  • replace calls to msgfmt by a compilation to Julia dictionaries
  • which need to be included by the mod(ule)
  • translation header should be filled from module info (package version etc.)

Dialogs

Remaining work

  • save dialog state priority in state.toml (this is big!)
  • needs: for each modified actor, offset + vector of Float32
  • encoded as [priority] dialog1 = offset,prio1,prio2,... etc.
  • finalize actor (i.e. add exit transition to any empty state)
  • see what to do with actions attached to these
  • allow specifying actor in say, e.g. say(actor=>label=>text)

actions, triggers

  • see if triggers are not more logically placed After actions
  • is \r\n needed? check this by modifying Hull's actions
  • trigger/action text: replace strings by Strref
  • use interpolated strings...
  • a custom string mode? for interpolated strings... action"Journal($s)" # replaces $s by Strref
  • reply(text => actor => state)
  • reindex states
  • all of them (across actors) before saving
  • journal flags: journal(..., Unsolved)?
  • see what to do with actions attached to transitions on interject calls (i.e. Weidu's INTERJECT_COPY_TRANS2?).
  • .d => julia syntactic transformation

General work

  • try to be a bit faster by pre-hashing all the Symbols used as keys in object tables (at parser stage) a good hash function is last(s)+121*s[2]⊻238*s[1] (only 2 collisions, on infrequent resources) do the 2-step hash thing
  • write a custom REPL mode (HeaderREPLs.jl) for mod manager
  • mod manager (WeiDU + Julia mods)
  • mod editing (generate, update, translations, validate)
  • typed attack: Blunt(1d4+1)
  • converts to Dice?
  • speed: maybe add a few sizehints! in KeyIndex and TlkStrings.
  • consider using ImmutableDicts DONE and it is less efficient
  • decompile dialog to Julia
  • missing flags
  • args_to_kw: use parameters e.g. AbstractString => (:name, :description), Integer => (...)

Write a test set

  • items
  • dialogs
  • try recreating a simple dialog (imoen.dlg, hull.dlg) from scratcho
  • with a few translations

Modified objects

  • saving a creature reorders the items as needed

Object origin

  • use stacktraces

Desired syntax for examples from WeiDU doc:

DONE 10.1

for item in items(game, r"sw1h.*"i)
  item.damage = d6
end
  • Almost done, except we need to say item.ability[1].damage = d6
  • we can also keep the damage bonus: x = item.ability[1]; x.damage = d6 + x.damage_bonus

10.2

for script in scripts(game, r"ar[0.6].*")
  script = myscript * script
  XXX use prepend! ?
end

DONE 10.3: change all longswords to have minimum strength 10

for item in items(game)
  (item.type == Longsword) && (item.min_strength = 10)
end
save(game)

DONE Additionally:

glamdring = Longsword("Glamdring", ...)

10.4 add an item to a creature:

acolyte1 = creature(game, "acolyte1")
acolyte1.shield == nothing && (acolyte1.shield = "shld01")
  • make inventory(creature) an iterator over all items

10.5 add an item to a store:

ribald = store(game, "ribald")
push!(ribald.items, ("hamm05", 0, 0, 0))
  # or simply "hamm05" and charges will be auto-determined
  # or insert! to determine position

10.7 set_2da_entry

table(game, "kits")[i, j] = "value"
# allow string indices

Syntax diabetes

  • damage = Crushing(1d6+1)
  • timing = Delay_Seconds(...)
