I am honestly confounded by this.

[Taimon]

OUTER_SET 2H_MASK = 0x00000002
[...]
READ_LONG 0x18 flags
SET flags |= 2H_MASK
WRITE_LONG 0x18 flags

 

You read the current flags and binary or it with whatever bit you want to set.

[Icendoan]

Ok.

 

What does OUTER_SET do and how does it work.

 

I can't seem to find it in the readme.

It's simply a SET as an action (instead of patch). Should be in the readme (use the search function).

I just used it do define a constant for the bit you want to change. (Only for code readability. )

[Icendoan]

I used the search function and nothing is in the full document with OUTE in it.

[Icendoan]

Could I just use

 

WRITE_LONG 0x18 2H_MASK?

 

Icen

[Taimon]

or OUTER_SET variable = value Update variable so that it is equal to value.

 

Could I just use

 

WRITE_LONG 0x18 2H_MASK?

No, because you only want to change one bit in the flags.

This will clear all other bits in the flags dword. (And you don't want that.)

[Miloch]

READ_BYTE 0x18 flags
WRITE_BYTE 0x18 (flags BOR 0b00000010)

I think.

 

I am honestly confounded by this ridiculously slow forum speed.

[Icendoan]

Same, and it crashes occasionally for me.

 

Right, I need to read up on how WeiDU handles binary. I know it is in the readme.

Right, I need to read up on how WeiDU handles binary. I know it is in the readme.

Yeah, it's under Bitwise Operators.

[Icendoan]

I know, and I just got it.

 

That is REALLY simple. Thanks of course to Cam, who wrote that tut.

[Icendoan]

Ok, I am back (again), with yet another query.

 

How is random treasure handled? I have found RNDTREAS.2da but how is it used?

Oh, and how would I add to this? I mean, I don't want another row, but a column. Right, WeiDU readme answered that question. What the hell is the required column count?

 

Icen

[Icendoan]

Right, so, I have found the RNDTREA*.itm and I assume they correspond with the row numbers in the 2da.

 

If I use SET_2DA_ENTRY, will it fill in the extra column for me?

 

Icen

[Miloch]

For rndtreas.2da, see here.

 

You would probably need APPEND_COL to add a column, but I don't think you can add columns to the table. Or at any rate, it wouldn't do anything, since the game rolls 2d10 to get the random value, hence the columns only go from 2 to 20.

[Icendoan]

Thanks, and I know what to do, with SET_2DA_ENTRY, but what is a required column count?

 

Icen

[Taimon]

The number of columns a line must have to count as a row in the 2da.
