SCI Companion - a complete IDE for Sierra SCI games (SCI0 to SCI1.1)
Official website: http://scicompanion.com
General notes: The bulk of the code is in SCICompanionLib\Src
SCICompanion is the .exe which is just a thin wrapper over SCICompanionLib
The following defines are available:
ENABLE_EXISTS - Enables the use of the &exists keyword, as in (if (&exists theX) ...) instead of (if (>= argc 1) ...).ENABLE_LDMSTM - Enables variable dereferencing (*var) as an alternative to (Memory memPEEK) and (Memory memPOKE). Requires a special build of the SCI interpreter with two new opcodes, such as SCI11+.ENABLE_FOREACH - Enables the use of the foreach keyword. (foreach val anArray ...) or (foreach val aCollection) (where aCollection is anything that uses the Node kernel calls and exposes elements) will expand into loops where val is each value in the set, in order. val needs not be defined beforehand. With ENABLE_LDMSTM enabled you can also use &val as a reference to a val you did define beforehand.ENABLE_VERBS - Enables the use of the verbs keyword.DISABLE_STUDIO - Disables selecting anything other than the Sierra-style script language.DISABLE_DEBUGSTUFF - Hides some in-depth decompiler stuff that's not officially supported.DISABLE_TRANSPARENCYNAG - Disables the confirmation dialog when pasting an image that contains the transparent color. Annoying!ENABLE_FONTNUMSINHEX - Makes the font editor's character picker labels display in hexadecimal, to match Windows Character Map.DISABLE_FONTLIMIT - Disables the 256-cel limit on fonts (but also maybe views, so be careful!). Fonts have a 16-bit character count, and with a customized interpreter such as SCI11+ you can now have basic UTF-8.ENABLE_MOREVOCABPREVIEWS - Adds some more sidebar previews for vocabs, like the Object Offsets (994), ENABLE_DISPLAYMASSAGE - Makes the Display kernel call's arguments look better, with proper constants instead of numbers, so dsWIDTH instead of 106.ENABLE_GETPOLY - Enables the use of the &getpoly keyword. (gRoom addObstacle: (&getpoly {Foo})), where Foo is a named polygon from the picture editor, will expand into (gRoom addObstacle: ((Polygon new:) type: <whatever> init: <long list of coords> yourself:)) upon compilation, just like you'd see if you decompile a Sierra original. Don't forget to not include the .shp file, and do (use Polygon). Convert all your rooms and you won't need AddPolygonsToRoom and CreateNewPolygon any more!Check out the examples for a somewhat better explanation of the features that add keywords.
There are a few other changes that aren't defined away, such as the Shrinkwrap cel menu item. In the Debug and Release target, none of the above are enabled. In Mild, only ENABLE_MOREVOCABPREVIEWS and ENABLE_DISPLAYMASSAGE are, unless someone wishes otherwise. The Kawa target has all of them enabled but ENABLE_LDMSTM.
