I was just wandering if it was possible to see what the variable names in the code of CMI are (you can see the ones in EMI using EMI Resource Viewer).
If it is could someone please upload the tool that allows you to see them. It would be much better than having to look at:
pushVar 00 00 00 74!
No, it's impossible.
In the CMI scripts there are no symbol names stored, just plain numbers.
In EMI and Grim Fandango you can see all function and variable names because they use the open-source Lua scripting language (
www.lua.org) which stores all symbol names in the script files.
Of course it's not a total loss - you can see what the major ones are by looking at scumm/vars.cpp in the ScummVM source (search for Scumm_v8::setupScummVars). Of course if you were using ScummVM's descumm utilities, it should automatically label these variables anyway.
Stuff thats strictly game puzzle related, you'd have to guess, or try and bug Serge for his personal varnames.ini :)
VarNames.ini that rings a bell.
Heh the one I have looks like this:
[Vars]
30 = override_hit
31 = current_room
130 = sputm_debug
Something tells me thats not quite the full one....

Yeah, VarNames.ini is the mapping file for CMIDec (of course)... but the only ones I've seen are very incomplete.
I know Serge must have a slightly larger version, because I've seen decompiled scripts from him with named variables. Unless he didn't use his own programs feature, and added them in by hand for posting :)
I did. I think I had a list of about 20-30 varnames and guesses at varnames. Didn't add the rest, since they were non-engine variables and I wasn't sure if they were used for different purposes in different scripts. Never got down to checking, so...

I've just dug up a longer varnames.ini on my hd
