I've been working hard on GTAG's Opcode Database System, trying to make SCM scripting easier, faster and MUCH more accurate. I decided to list my proposal for the new keywords.txt file, specific to San Andreas (I'll fill in any needed opcodes for VC and III later). I've already worked on the new Opcode Definitions generator, which has fixed many bugs and has a much improved design as well as being more interactive.

I'll probably create a similar topic for classes.db file sometime. I just want to make sure people are happy with the proposal before I send it off to the database, as once it's implemented in people's scripts, changes would result in lack of ability to compile them. After I add the keywords, none will change. Some may be added (especially those which I have commented out in the list below) and alternates may come about, but compatibility with old scripts is a must.

I am also planning on other variants of these files. Such as ones which will use the original Rockstar natives, allowing us to code using such function names, which I think is benaficial - despite the restrictions of the current IDE ("compiler") choices. These variants will be optional, of course.

The options supplied for the Opcode Definitions Generator should allow a lot of customisation to SCM syntax. I will be creating new .ini definitions (".ini v2" - yeah, everything is version two now) with changed parameter orders to suit developments in SCM coding. However, these changes are completely optional. It would be a simple case of choosing between "Original .ini" (perhaps I'll name it "Classic .ini" - lol) or "v2 .ini" - which should suit the needs of everyone.

Some modders will indeed want to stick with the original SCM style and some will prefer an upgrade. Either way, I hope the Opcode Definitions Generator can be made handy for everyone.

One day, I may learn to program well enough to put the potential of the generator to use and create my own IDE ("compiler")... Alas, that probably won't be any time soon. Still, if anyone else was pondering the creation of a new IDE ("compiler"), the generator is more than capable of creating more files (.xml containing parameter info, etc. - perhaps?), which could help.

Anyway, here's the list. You could even try it out

"Where's the rest of the opcodes?" - Opcodes related to chars, vehicles, objects etc. aren't suitable to be keywords. Imagine this line:

perform_anim 0@ "M_SMKLEAN_LOOP" "LOWRIDER" 4.0 1 0 0 0 -1

These will be part of classes.db - just like most of the opcodes in this list won't be in classes.db..

Original Topic

I made a start on restoring Rockstars original opcodes which were NOP'd out. I don't think I'll get too much further than I have so far (struggling on 0662 at the moment) as my ASM skills aren't the best.

It'd probably be easier if I knew C++, but ASM is still mostly easier for me at the moment and I want to practise writing it.

Posted this and thought it might be of interest to people here.

Just to confirm, this doesn't replace existing .rrr files. If you do this:

0AB1: call_scm_func @LoadCustomPathFromFile  num_params 2 file 0@ pathID 899 store_path_data_to 1@
0811: 2@ = actor $PLAYER_ACTOR car_nosave
05EB: assign_car 2@ to_path 899
repeat
    0ACD: show_text_highpriority "Playing recorded path" time 1
    003D:
until 860E:   not car 2@ assigned_to_path
0AC9: free_allocated_memory 1@
0873: release_path 899
07C0: load_path 899

The path 899 from the IMG will be loaded. The SCM Function merely sets the path data that is used by a slot (SA is dumb and assigns a separate slot for each .rrr file), which makes the game think the path is already loaded and uses the data read from the file.

This means no limits on using .rrr files (you can also add more slots for paths, but I don't think it's needed), no IMG editing and what's more.. loading paths is now instant.

[center]Sky Ink

The ape-headed moron engineers (lets pretend I'm not talking about Rockstar developers) of San Andreas' Stuntplane could only manage to fit one tank to write in the sky with... Then, a genius engineer (lets pretend I'm not talking about myself) made a discovery and managed to give skywriters some more colours to play with by modifying the original model made by Rockstar the A.S.S (Aircraft Skywriting Specialists).

See the instruction manual that comes with this aircraft modification for usage.

Enjoy!
