TorqueScript Minifier

 by Glenn Smith· 06/12/2012 (6:35 pm) · 8 comments


Hey all, I wrote this neat little program in C++ that minifies torque script. Basically, if you don't know what a minifier, it takes code and shrinks it to the smallest form. This minifier has a bunch of options, including optional removal of newlines, extra spaces, indents, and comments. You can specify to replace locals with minified forms such as %a, %b, etc. Can be compiled into a c++ application and used to minify source. This is mostly useful if you want to write a purely torquescript auto-updater, and want to obfuscate your scripts and guis.

Note: this does not obfuscate object names, function names, global variables, or anything inside quotes.
 
Command line arguments to pass:
 "-n" Set this to disable stripping of newlines
 "-l" Set this to disable renaming of local variables
 "-s" Set this to disable stripping of spaces
 "-c" Set this to disable stripping of comments, also disables stripping of newlines
 "-i" Set this to disable stripping of indents
 "-h" Set this to disable the addition of the header. Header contains specs on the minification, and can be modified if you want
 "-t" Set this to enable trace mode, where virtually everything is logged to the output
 
Download source code
 
Hope you enjoy and use :)

It's supposed to minify torquescripts
But
It doesn't work

If you try debugging it with visul studio it says 'String subscript out of range blah blah blah' and crashes

Plz halp how to fix program

General Discussion / Eventing festival / Build event contraptions!

« on: August 31, 2012, 02:07:44 PM »

Welcome to a new



History

The first one I remember to host something like this was Boom.
(May be wrong, didn't think a long time)
Then Chrisbot6 hosted one, and then I decided to host one.
It was only open for 3 days due to crashes caused by crap-ons, but still a success.
Quickly all slots were filled with contraptions and the server was constantly full (in teh evening).

Now after a (somewhat) long time, I decided to pick up this project again.
Now with a much better map, more active Admins (I hope) and a working Autosaver.


The Build

Somewhere in the random nowhere, there is a piece of elevated ground.

Info Signs!

That's enough slots this time, is it?

Random structure that has no sense or a reason to be here.

Parts library in case the map needs to be extended or changed like last time.

Giome doing what he always does.

A first contraption!

Meh enough pictures.

Some rules

Do only build in the lots. If they are full ask an admin to make more.
Don't build spammy crap, please.
Do obviously start with a baseplate.
You may not fill out an entire lot. But then, people will build right next to you.
Add events to your build and don't trap people!
Have fun!

Credits

Mold - Building the map and some server scripts.
Giome - Building the big sign.
Qiw - First contraption.
Professor Layton - Jetting around annoying me and spamming german baby stuff.
~|~


You also may apply for Admin.

Fill out this form:

Name:
BL_ID:
Why you want to be Admin:
Previous experience/Recommendators:
Do you like events?

You may have at least one contraption in a slot before you apply.


Join now and build your contraption!

Modification Help / Grabbing a brick datablock right when its created

« on: August 29, 2012, 12:32:30 PM »

Like this.

Code: [Select]

datablock fxDTSBrickData(brick2x2PictureFrameData)
{
brickFile = "./2x2PictureFrame.blb";
category = "Special";
subCategory = "Decorative";
uiName = "2x2 Picture Frame";
iconName = "Add-Ons/Brick_DecorativeBlocks/2x2PictureFrame";

hasPrint = 1;
printAspectRatio = "2x2f";
};That will create a print brick in the subcategory 'Decorative'.
The problem:

DUPLICATOR (yes) will only duplicate print bricks, if they are in the subcategory 'Prints'.
So can I grab the datablock with something like fxdtsbrickdata::onadd(%this, %unknown, %args, %here)
Then check if(%this.hasprint)
And if it's true set %this.subcategory = "Prints";
Then continue on with the creation?

Add-Ons / Server Search - FIXED!

« on: August 18, 2012, 01:58:55 PM »

It started to annoy me really hard to search the long damn list, that I decided to fix this add-on.



For people who are interested: GUIWindowCrtl.add(stuff); seems to no longer take more than one parameter.
After changing
js_window.add(%text, %button, %popup);
to
js_window.add(%text);
js_window.add(%button);
js_window.add(%popup);
it started appearing again.

DOWNLOAD WORKING SERVER SEARCH!!

Guys
To have the old add-ons gui instead of that [...]

-Open console

Step 2:
-Enter canvas.pushdialog(addonsgui);

Step 3:
-Select your add-ons

Step 4:
