silver-reversing-sct's Issues

regex.h Dependency?

Hi @nadavshemesh! I love this project very much, it's quite impressive - I've enjoyed poking around the decompiled scripts for all the areas and starting to figure out what sort of modding Silver might support.

I thought as a first step I'd give the repo a clone and see if I can compile it, though I'm not at all a C programmer!

I downloaded MinGW 6.3.0-1, and ran the compilation command from the readme:

gcc -I .\ .\utils.c .\sct\sct.c .\sct\structure\object.c .\sct\structure\pattern.c .\sct\print\asm\console.c .\sct\game\gamefunc.c .\sct\convert\convert.c .\sct\convert\asm\sctasm.c .\sct\convert\bin\sctbin.c .\file\fileutils.c .\sct\print\bin\console.c .\sct\game\gamevar.c .\sct\print\bin\file.c .\sct\print\asm\file.c .\eng\eng.c -o .\sct.exe

... but got a list of errors like .\sct\sct.c:1:21: fatal error: sct\sct.h: No such file or directory, one for every header file.

Editing the compilation command very slightly to:

gcc -I . .\utils.c .\sct\sct.c .\sct\structure\object.c .\sct\structure\pattern.c .\sct\print\asm\console.c .\sct\game\gamefunc.c .\sct\convert\convert.c .\sct\convert\asm\sctasm.c .\sct\convert\bin\sctbin.c .\file\fileutils.c .\sct\print\bin\console.c .\sct\game\gamevar.c .\sct\print\bin\file.c .\sct\print\asm\file.c .\eng\eng.c -o .\sct.exe

Got me a bit further. The only difference in the two commands is that it begins gcc -I ., rather than gcc -I .\. (No slash.) Windows path stuff?

Now I get a bunch more errors, here's the full output:

λ gcc -I . .\utils.c .\sct\sct.c .\sct\structure\object.c .\sct\structure\pattern.c .\sct\print\asm\console.c .\sct\game\gamefunc.c .\sct\convert\convert.c .\sct\convert\asm\sctasm.c .\sct\convert\bin\sctbin.c .\file\fileutils.c .\sct\print\bin\console.c .\sct\game\gamevar.c .\sct\print\bin\file.c .\sct\print\asm\file.c .\eng\eng.c -o .\sct.exe -lregex

Mostly, I'm missing a regex.h dependency. Where does that come from? I've really only got the base MinGW gcc and g++ compilers installed, so let me know if there's another library I need to link.

(Also, it's easy to miss, but hidden in amongst all the regex errors is a \file\fileutils.h error, another header file not located.)

I'm just getting going with exploring this project, and clearly I'm new to working with C, but would appreciate any help! 😄

No memory slot

Hi BRO
Following your guide I created and played with GRANPA without any problem as a condition of removing it (var old_grandad = call get_char_handle(int 393216) call remove_char(var old_grandad)) from exbarrac.
If it is not removed we have this error ((I have not added any other characters (David and Grandpa only):

I then tried changing various characters: Frink, oldwoman, buzuki, Nemesis, Viviene and many others but always the same error. Es: call create_char(var &init_position, "hnemesis", int 35, int 13) or call create_char(var &init_position, "hbuzuki", int 35, int 13) under ._onload .

what do I do then?
I try to remove Granda. And what happens? I enter the level but then (rightly) the enemies not finding our beloved Granda as a target, crash the game.
So is the problem that level that doesn't accept more than 2 characters or am I doing something wrong? (much more probable)
Help me
Ps: Are you going to make a scrip for Cheat engine that creates characters? ha ha for people who are impeded like me.
Keep going with this project that is great
