could I add multiple ID flags to my bms script?

[Troopermanaic]

Im wondering if I am able to add multiple ID flags to my script
example

Code: Select all

if FLAG = 0x##78

I have a bunch of bms scripts that are similar but only have an offset of the second hex code and I want to merge them all into one.

in that case you could use something like:

Code: Select all

math TMP = FLAGS
math TMP &= 0xff # or math TMP %= 0x100
if TMP == 0x78
...

This works like a charm thanks.

IDK if its because you didn't get to see the whole code but

Code: Select all

TMP == 0x78

was making the script not work. Instead of using it I put

Code: Select all

math TMP &= 0xDA78 # or math TMP %= 0x9C78 or math TMP %= 0x5E78

and it works on all those zlib files even at the same time. =]

you must never use a similar check for zlib data.
in that case if you don't know if a file is compressed is better to use "comtype unzip_dynamic" that will do the check correctly and unpack or copy the data automatically

the script with this line of code seems to be working 100% fine with absolutely no errors, even can re import with bms. Is there something I should be aware of?

I checked the coding of the decompressed files and they look right. Everything seems to be working this way.

[aluigi]

I forgot about reimporting (unzip_dynamic would zip everything, even the uncompressed files).

anyway the file format must have for sure a field in which it says if the file is compressed and what's its size, that will avoid the 0x78 work-around

I have the same issue but it wasnt solved with all the hints. Becuase the problem is that i am a bit of a newbie and do not have any experience of what you guys are talking about. it would be very helpful, if someone could post the entire code. It would be a huge learning curve for me and it would be thankful.
