[00:02] <logix> how appropriate, you wear ties like a plumber
[00:02] <dreammaster> Mumma mia!
[00:03] <snover> yay, fixed it.
[00:03] <snover> as it turns out if you are using a macro inside a loop and trying to control the loop you should not wrap it in a do-while(0)
[00:03] <snover> as that prevents you from controlling the loop you want to control
[00:03] <snover> this has been a Snovers Top Tip.
[00:05] <logix> there's always goto
[00:05] <snover> you monster.
[00:06] <snover> (i actually dont mind gotos, but in this case i think the solution is to just not worry about this macro since it is used only here)
[00:07] <logix> well, yeah, if you can get rid of one of the loops without any side effects (including readability), I'd prefer that
[00:08] <logix> I'm just saying, if getting rid of one loop comes at a cost, I'd just use a goto - what's the alternative, add a flag variable, check that in each iteration of the outer loop etc.? that doesn't sound better...
[00:09] <snover> the reason why the do-while(0) is there is to turn the macro into a regular statement so its use is uniform with ordinary functions in all contexts
[00:11] <logix> yeah, that sounds like a case where I'd also get rid of it :)
[00:12] <logix> wait, I might have misunderstood - if that means changing how it is called at all sorts of other places that's a different beast
[00:12] <snover> its called 3 times in 1 function
[00:12] <logix> anyway, never mind going into details, I assume you know what you're doing
[00:12] <snover> and never again
[00:13] <logix> then I say axe the do-while(0)
[00:13] <snover> yeah. that is not the only thing that needs to change here but its mostly what needs to change here.
[00:13] <snover> so this is fine.
[00:13] <snover> probably.
[00:16] <snover> does anyone have their Zork Nemesis or Zork Grand Inquisitor discs handy? i dont know if these games also use the DK3 coder, id like to check to make sure im not breaking them but i am feeling lazy and dont want to go walk to get my images disk.
[00:19] <logix> not me, I don't even have them non-handy

[00:33] <dafioram> snover: i've got zork GI from gog does that work?
[00:35] <snover> dafioram: maybe. but i just unlazied myself enough to go get it anyway.
[00:35] <dreammaster> Heh. I'd checked in my physical disc imgae backups and couldn't find it, and completely forgot that I'd purchased it on GOG on one of the many sales and never got round to playing it. It's official now.. I've got so many GOG games I can't remember what I've got anymore. :)
[00:41] <Lightkey> only now? oh sweet summer child..

[00:49] <snover> looks like these games probably just used their own custom adpcm compression scheme for some reason
[01:07] <-- Joefish left irc: Ping timeout: 248 seconds
[01:12] <-- dafioram left irc: Quit: Leaving
[01:13] <snover> yeah, all these videos use zork adpcm.
[01:14] <dreammaster> Damn :(
[01:14] <snover> this is fine, it means i do not have to worry about breaking it :)

[01:15] <dreammaster> Well, I suppose there is that. :P
[01:16] <snover> sci32 and zvision are the only engines using duck truevision according to its conditional compilation settings, so this means that phant2 is probably the only thing using dk3.

[01:19] <dreammaster> Yeh, it's taken a few tweaks to get right. I take solace that it's one of the many bugs in the original, so it wasn't originally due to carelessness on my part

The ones I have found at http://www.nicouzouf.com/en/?id=indianajonesandthefateofatlantis are for the floppy version and ones given at http://www.tentakelvilla.de/download/savegames.html didn't work for me.

[21:57] <snover> augh, apple. they have these API_DEPRECATED and API_AVAILABLE macros which accept some version numbers, which is great, but they dont seem to have actually documented what the version numbers mean anywhere that i can find by searching&
[22:00] <snover> does macosx(10.0, 10.12) mean the replacement api was available starting in 10.0 and the old api is deprecated in 10.12? does it mean the original api was introduced in 10.0 and is now deprecated in 10.12?
[22:00] <snover> what does it mean apple? what?
[22:06] <snover> looks like the first number is api introduction os release and second number is api deprecation os release
[22:12] <Lightkey> also the moonwalking of Benny after talking to the child and another glitch right at the end where Benny turns to the altar and another frame of him stays, making it look like he has three arms, don't see that mentioned in the bugs yet
[22:12] <Lightkey> but [md5] hasn't been around in a while..
[22:13] <Lightkey> also WTF: https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/10013
[22:13] <snover> i dont understand why those tickets were closed as wontfix
[22:13] <snover> if they are bugs that exist and need to be fixed, thats not how to&resolve it&
