but this raises the question, where's dutcheese?

[skorpion59]

Ghen,

Dutcheese was designing a new space scenario and he got swallowed by the Black Hole'.

[Nordicus]

lol!

[dutcheese]

hi i went on vacation to vegas and got stuck impersonating elvis..lol

really i came back and got into a different game called mankind and www.mankind.net.

just came back to check if patch 1.3 was out. unless activision makes a graphical interface for senario devolpment scenarios with goals will never be implemented... cant wait for the next patch... if it ever comes.

Dutcheese isn't possible for you to include usage descriptions for the of slic functions and variables you have listed?

[Locutus]

Dreamer,
Descriptions of (most of the) SLIC functions can be found in the Modification section of the Apolyton-CtP site: http://apolyton.net/ctp/modification/

[Dreamer]

Thanks Locutus, but I already have that. I'm looking for the SLIC v1.2, seen some new functions listed by Dutchese but without descriptions. Wanna know how those functions works.

Your not the only one looking for documentation of the 1.2 version. I don't think it exists and it's been very, very quite on the Activision-site lately, so I doubt it will ever come.

[skorpion59]

To all,

I think it is about 99% positive that you are not going to see any v1.2 SLIC documentation from Activision. This means the old trial and error approach is going to have to be used.

An alternative might be to start a V1.2 SLIC Documentation thread. As people find out what doesn't work or what does work and how it works, they can post the information and examples. Periodically, a text file can be created/updated and sent in for Markos to post in the modification section.

I'm just shooting from the hip here, anybody got any suggestions or other ideas?

I totally agree with you Don, we'll have to do it ourselves and post our findings here at CtP Creation (only in a different thread IMHO). I just got one question (to anyone who knows the answer): where can I find the functions/variables that are available in version 1.2? I've seen Dutcheese had some undocumented functions and variables, but where did he find those?

[skorpion59]

The information was pulled out of the executables. You can go through them with a hex editor and see the 'text' with it.

This tells you what is in the executables but it doesn't tell you 'how' they work or even 'if' they work. CTP has much code which is in it (defined) but not implemented.

Thanks, I'll do that sometime.
