+7now compile). - scriptcomp: Added support for double bang (e.g.
!!xnot compiles). - scriptcomp: Added support for hashed string literals (e.g.
h"foo"-> int). - scriptcomp: Can now output graphviz parse trees to help compiler engineers.

- All binaries now build with stacktraces enabled, to make user reports more useful.
- Fixed installation on nim 1.6 due to changed checksums package upstream.
- scriptcomp: Optimized the common for loop construct
for (i = 0; i < N; ++i).
- ResDir instances now cache their contents on creation time. This is a change from previous behaviour, where additions to a local directory were reflected immediately.
- ResDir is now case-insensitive, same as base game and other ResContainer types.
- scriptcomp: Messages about encoding are no longer printed multiple times when using threads.
- script_comp: Add cli flag to optionally follow symlinks.
- script_comp: Add cli flag to allow raising the max include depth.
- script_comp: Now also prints the full include chain for each error.
- script_comp: Now prints timing for each handled file; updated some help text to be clearer.
- ResMan/Res: Fix prematurely opening FDs and exhausting allowed pool when sourcing many files (e.g. script_comp *.nss).
- Preliminary support for nim 2.0.
- script_comp: Don't ever compile nwscript.nss.
- script_comp: Don't link libstdc++ statically on LINUX.
- Canonical op representation separates op and aux with a dot now, to make visual and machine parsing easier.
- Float formatting is now less noisy.
- nwn_asm no longer prints relative jump offsets.
- nwn_asm can now specify padding and term width for printing.
- Fixed encoding not initialising correctly when get*Encoding wasn't called.
- Script compiler now supports raw string literals:
r".."andR"..", which can also span multiple lines. - Temporarily disabled MOVSP merging optimization (fixing STACK_UNDERFLOW errors when using -O2).
nwn_asmnow prints shorter, canonical opcodes.nwn_asmnow parsesnwscript.nssand prints the names of executed actions.nwn_asmnow prints in colour; indicates jump source/target IPs; improved column display.nwn_asmnow disassembles the whole file in debug mode (-g), not just known functions.
- Fixed the default steam path for Windows.
- Fixed a crash when the Beamdog Client settings.json file could not be found.
- Fixed
--languagenot defaulting toenand overrides not working at all. - resman.nim: Fixed sometimes not throwing a ValueError when the requested resref does not exist.
- Removed remaining double-byte language support (this is not supported on EE).
With 1.6.0, the official nwscript compiler source code has been added to the repository, licenced as GPL-3.0. This release builds on this:
- Parser now understands floating point values such as
0f,.0and.42f. - For loops can now take non-integer expressions in the first and third part of a loop statement. (e.g. floating point values now work).
- Constant folding:
constdeclarations can now contain any constant expression (such as arithmetics), including previously defined consts. - Instruction melding: A second pass over the generated bytecode will now meld some redundant instructions together.
- Where possible, expressions are now evaluated at compile time (instead of runtime).
- The CLI utility can now utilise all CPU cores to compile scripts in parallel.
- The script compiler will ensure no outdated .ndb remains when re/compiling scripts without debugging support enabled.
- Fixed structures passed using the
?:operator causing a bad compiler state. - The script compiler has gained support for enabling optimisations. Currently available:
-O0Turn off all optimisations-O2: Turn on all optimisations:- Constant folding
- Instruction melding
- Removing all dead/unused code
nwn_asmcan now decode DE_STRUCT instructions.nwn_asmcan now disable loading .ndb with a cli flag, if no per-function disassembly is desired.nwn_asmnow prints global offsets in addition to per-function offsets when .ndb is enabled.nwn_asmcan now optionally weave the originating source code into the disassembly, if both source code and .ndb is available.
- Fixed regression introduced with 1.6.0 that resulted in GFF files failing to compile with a integer out of range error.
- All cli utilities now support the flag
--silentto hide all output, even errors. Errors can be detected by checking the process exit code. - Performance improvements on internal data structures to make utilities start up faster.
- Added some legacy (currently unused) restypes: .res, .wfx
- First public release of the game script compiler source code.
- New CLI utility: nwn_script_comp.
- Builtin resman will no longer warn about missing _loc keytable on startup (they're optional for some languages).
- TwoDA library now considers
""cells empty and transforms them into****. - CLI utils:
compressedbuf,gff,ssf,tlk,twodanow read input stream fully before writing to it, allowing write back to same file.
- ExoLocStr legacy codepath reader now correctly reads in
idfield.
- Removed NWN DE/1.69 support. If you need to work with a DE data layout, use an earlier version.
- Fixed auto-detecting user root on Linux and Windows.
- Fixed regression from 1.5.7 where default resman instance would not load erf files correctly.
- Simple disassembler lib and sample tool to print out ncs bytecode.
- nwsync.nim libraries for reading/writing NWSync manifests.
- lib: ResMan ctor is now available externally.
- gff: Duplicate field label error now prints which field is duplicated.
- NWN_HOME env var is now considered the primary env for detecting userdir, to match all other tools out there. NWN_USER_DIRECTORY remains as a fallback.
- shared (lib): added option to not inject the default logger, for library consumers that do their own logging.
- Removed CLI progressbar support, it was just creating issues and never worked right.
- Removed a stray debug print in game.nim.
- gffjson: Game puts the "id" field of exolocstrs into the value array instead of the top level field. Library now reads this correctly.
- nwn_twoda: Can now --minify to save on data size at cost of human-readableness.
- gffjson: Fixed issue where it incorrectly throws RangeDefect on dwords due to incorrect cast.
