Re: Struct declarations.

eScript is dynamic (with struct members;) weak typed DSL when it comes to variables. It would be less stressful to newcomers if compiler wouldn't allow blank variable declaration i.e.var smthing not followed by an immediate assignment operator. var something := struct{}; is important because it crea...

Re: The eScript style guide.

I agree that readability counts and you probably shouldn't confuse your readers with what I said. As for assignment the need to push a combo of 3 keys to type := instead of 1 key for = is annoying. My guess is that Eric Swanson was fond of Pascal syntax much thus the syntax. Its has some history to ...

Re: The eScript style guide.

I think its brilliant that you made this coding style. I would probably succumb to using one of the pre-existing code convention (something akin to PEP8), yet a fresh look yields nicer things! Note: spells that are cast via conventional means (like a spellbook) would also have spellId argument passe...

new array method - cycle([shift])

array.cycle() will move array backwards or forwards in-place as it were a conveyor belt. {1, 2, 3}.cycle() Will make it: {3, 1, 2} Accepts a negative value as a shift to move different direction. * Currently only shift by 1 element is supported. The performance probably is horrible like O( 2*N ), bu...

Re: string.format() patch2 + bugfix

Not much into BOOST yet, but I study it.
The thing is that you have to incorporate the patch somehow.
The previous version has a bug.

I shall use your suggestion about size_t for the next submissions.
I don't even have 64bit version thus these things happen.

string.format() patch2 + bugfix

* Now actually faster than string concatenation in eScript
* Fixes a bug where {:d} formating could cause an arbitrary number shown instead of a real value
* tag errors are slightly more intuitive and compact.

Re: Problem starting POL

em functions are executed by the core thus aren't included into .ecl. I believe core does a map lookup for every call to a module function with a separate map per module.
