 Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2010 6:21 pm Post subject: Are globals limited to 1024 in the stable release? |
 |
|
For some reason when using string to globals with globals higher than 1024, it either does not write, or globals to strings does not read it.
It could also be that 4096 limit is only in the nightly? Could someone please clarify this for me and if I need to fill a global variable bug on this?
EDIT: Also confirmed to be an issue in the nightly build as well. I guess I'll use export globals and store this extra data in a separate save slot.
WORKAROUND: Three very simple scripts to export up to 7 strings stored in globals with the size of 38 to a separate save slot, depending on your save slot chosen.
| Code: |
script, memcopy,p1,p2,p3, begin
variable (i,i2)
i2:=0
for (i,p1,p2,1) do (write global(i2+p3,read global(i)),i2:=i2+1)
end
script, store note,note, begin
variable (tmp,offset)
offset:=280*save slot
offset:=offset+2048
tmp:=note*40
tmp:=tmp+offset
memcopy (my notes+10,my notes+48,tmp)
export globals (5,tmp,tmp+38)
end
script, receive note,note, begin
variable (tmp,offset)
offset:=280*save slot
offset:=offset+2048
tmp:=note*40
tmp:=tmp+offset
import globals (5,tmp,tmp+38)
memcopy (tmp,tmp+38,my notes+10)
end
|
Two globals will need to exist for this to work: my notes and save slot.
my notes contains the temp location in the current global variables scope, which will be exported.
save slot stores your current save slot number, get this by any means you can.
I choose to use memcopy, as I wanted the strings to be stored in high global variables, of which string to globals currently does not allow. Feel free to use memcopy for anything, if you need it.
Also to note for the devs, this script doesn't slow down the engine(much), when it draws a textbox using strings imported from a separate save slot, it draws one line of text at a time, about 0.5 seconds apart. My previous code with only a 5 line textbox read from local global strings worked faster.
Feature request: Could you add a memcopy command to plotscript, it would allow copying globals to and from save slots in different locations. Say I want to load globals 0-1023 into local global scope of 1024-2047, currently only a wrapper script like this would work.

Wow, slow

There will eventually be a special "globals" array. Then you'll be able to use array slicing to do things like this.

So it was a bug? And it's fixed up ready for the next nightly?

It is now. I hadn't pushed my local changes to the SVN repository yet.

I guess this Heart of OHR contest is really keeping you devs busy with new bug fixes almost every day -- especially from me.

Actually only a single person request a bug fix for the contest, and it hasn't been fixed yet!
You're currently reporting more bugs than everyone else put together. That's much appreciated; we don't get enough testing (or enough reporting).
