Let's debug the editor doc?

Author	Topic: Let's debug the editor doc?
Overwhelming Infiltrator Member # 4637	written Sunday, July 11 2004 11:44 Profile Homepage #0 I've been reading the doc and I've found some errors. I don't have it with me right now, so I'll post later the errors I've found. But here's a sample: It is explained that the engine solves mathematical expressions from right to left, instead of the normal way (left to right), so "9-3-3 is 0, not 3". Let's see: 3-3=0, 0-9=-9. It's -9, not 0. Or am I missing something? But this example is an harmless error, there are others that will make us confused (until we try it). There's some other errors, let's debug the doc (we have it in .doc format, so we can then make a reviewed version ;) )? Anyway, let me just say that for a 110 page document, it's well written. At least the first 70 pages i've read. :) [ Sunday, July 11, 2004 11:45: Message edited by: Overwhelming ] -------------------- Visit the Blades of Avernum Center and the Beta Testing Center -------------- "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ."

Garrison Agent Member # 2820	written Sunday, July 11 2004 15:33 Profile #1 The Blades of AVernum Cookbook is a slightly less in depth tutorial for the editor written in a slightly more user friendly way. I'd like to just append examples, clarifications, and references to different sections in the original documentation. By the way, when he says the calculations are done right to left, he means that the right term is the first one evaluated. So 10-4 isn't 4-10, but rather (-4)+(+10). But I still don't see sense in saying 9-3-3=0 so maybe my interpretation is incorrect. There was an old bug in which subtraction would be done instead of addition. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

Specifically, the docs claim: (0 > 1) && (3 > 2) // true Oopsie. :P -------------------- I ain't no ******* son of a *****. You better think about it, baby.

Overwhelming Infiltrator Member # 4637	written Tuesday, July 13 2004 08:35 Profile Homepage #3 I noticed that one too. :) There is another that I thought it was an error, but I wonder if it's me who's not understanding. I'll copy here for you to judge. :) -------------------- Visit the Blades of Avernum Center and the Beta Testing Center -------------- "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ."
