Script Loading

What do you mean "save"?

In the script loader after you compile, the slot says "<none>" when you change the buffer.

Let me try to re-interpret what he's saying...

I believe he's saying that when you compile a ZScript, it'll save onto the quest, but when you load a new one, it gives you the message that the buffer (what the Script is loaded to) must be cleared. If you say yes, it clears the buffer, BUT it also erases ANY scripts you previously saved. In other words.... IT ONLY ALLOWS YOU TO USE ONE SCRIPT IN A QUEST, AND THAT'S IT. It's EXTREMELY annoying for me, because I want to use both the Vacuum and Chaser-Trap scripts in one of my quests, but since it erases one after I load the other, I can only have one or the other in my quest, not both.

Are the scripts actually being unloaded, or is it just erasing their names? That's all I've seen it do; for me, the scripts have always continued working even after their names vanish.
I'll look into it, in any case. Doesn't seem like it should be too hard to fix.

Sorry, guys!

Still, even if it isn't a bug, it's strange behavior. There should at least be something that says that there is actually a script in a slot. The "none" is misleading and confusing. I'd rather not have to keep track of which script slots I've used via an external source. :shrug:

Yeah, At least it could say "Occupied"

Hm...

std::map<string, vector<Opcode *> >::iterator isitthere = scripts.find(ffcmap[i].second);
if(isitthere == scripts.end())
    ffcmap[i].second = "";
