RGSS3-MACL

[IceDragon]

RGSS3 MACL Version: 0x10001

​

Introduction

MACL stands for Method and Class Library

This script is not meant for usage by regular members and serves as a library for scripters

So finally got around to making this topic, and only for one reason and I'll be honest);

I'm about to start releasing scripts using the RGSS3-MACL.

The idea for this MACL was originally brought up in the IRC by yours truly, Jet and Sail thought it would be a great idea to start a SDK, after some intense discussion and debating, it was decided that the SDK be renamed and redone as a MACL.

Now progress on the MACL has been rather slow, since I have school, Jet has school, and Sail probably has school...

In the end, I've manned up and implemented many of the things you'll see in the MACL.

Now there are plenty of evil lurking bugs and undocumented functions in the code, and some un-included files.

There is still much work to be done.

Oh also ignore the unorthodox version number.

Installation

Place above all scripts but below Main

Code/Download

The MACL is assembled using Skinj (found in src/build_tools/)

Re-distributable Script (open with text editor and copy to project)

[.rb]RGSS3MACL

For best viewing experience, use sublime text 2

Source Code

[Git]RGSS3-MACL

Notes

To Users

You do not have to learn what the MACL does, simply follow the installation guide.

To Developers

Documentation is still in progress, simply browse over the source code for now,

read to understand the code (if you can D.

A few demos/samples are provided in the Git

Bug Reports/Support

If you have any bug reports or suggestions for the MACL.

Post here or come chat with us (me) on the IRC at irc.synirc.net #RGSS3MaCL

Team/Contributors

Forgive me, but most of the code in the MACL was rewritten by me ;-; for various reasons.

But here is the list of all the contributors I've remember thus far:

Sailerius (I hope I spelt your name right :x, for pushing the idea up)

PK8 (My right hand man/bro/compadre)

Archeia (No code, but ideas )

FenixFyreX (Note folder, attempted .so require, still have to give you creds bro)

CaptainJet (Tween, and some minor code)

Lemony (for the Note folder implementation idea, though I wrote another one)

Pongors (reported a few bugs and mistakes in the code)

Rafael_Sol_Maker (For interest in the MACL, and Note Folder suggestions)

Credits

I do not take 100% credit for the code found in the MACL

Remeber to credit everyone mentioned in the Team/Contributors. D: Yup its a lot of

typing for you, have fun .

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

what does MACL means?

 

[Victor Sant]

what does MACL means?

Method and Class Library

As long it don't overwrite methods as XP SDK does this migh be very useful.

 

[Dr.Yami]

Nothing to say but useful. Good job!

 

[IceDragon]

Update to the MACL (and some other scripts)

I actually dont even remember all the changes I made...

But here we go:

New to the Standard Library

String_Ex

indent

indent!

word_wrap

word_wrap!

There are 2 new builds avaiable of the MACL

STD

Only has the Standard Library Included

DEV

Includes most(if not all) of the Xpansion Library in addition to the regular MACL.

On the script side

Skinj

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about:

Spoiler

[.rb]Skinj is an assembly script designed for text file construction,

using various commands.

Basically I made Skinj so I could import x, y, z files into one

for release, as you may notice the MACL uses generated headers.

For example:

[.rb]macl_list

Using:

[.rb]script_assembler.rb

Produces:

[.rb]rgss3macl

I've added a few new functions:

Spoiler

wait

Tells the Skinj assembler to wait n seconds, useful for testing

print

Hello useless function, anyway this was created for testing purposes.

label

Used with the jump

eval

Now why in gods name would you use this you ask? I have no idea...

jump

Jump to a label in the current Skinj string

indent

You can indent whole sections in a Skinj string

else:

Conditional branches now support else statements

macro

Execute a recorded macro

recmacro

Start recording a new macro

clrmacro

Clear a defined Macro

stpmacro

Does nothing actually but used to denote the stopping point

for the recmacro

But why the hell am I telling you guys about Skinj D:

And there is... absolutely no documentation for this script XD

Also; wall of text.

Well back to homework

EDIT:

Warning, the dev Lib is unstable, DO NOT USE!
