Can't remember the name of the program that you input a assembly language program into to get a flowchart output, can you.


Me neither; I've done it by hand so far.

And if you relearn assembly and want to help with my patch, I can probably find something for you to do (in the absence of any merger program, we'd need one person to simply send the other the necessary replacements/changes.)

By the way I've never played a MP SMACX before  :-[

Actually we're getting a bit off topic, maybe we should start a new thread.

Me either, to tell the truth.


Yitzyi's never played MP dooda dooda :D
Actually that's quite reassuring. To be quite honest I was S******g a brick at the thought of it.

Have you tried Visustin or Assembly Flowchart Creator. AFC is one click so probably the easiest. There new since my day, so I can't give suggestions. But I'd be glad to help with your patch. Give me a week to research modern assembly usage.
And have you looked here http://sourceforge.net/projects/exetoc

No longer mere earthbeings and planetbeings are we, but bright children of the stars! And together we shall dance in and out of ten billion years, celebrating the gift of consciousness until the stars themselves grow cold and weary, and our thoughts turn again to the beginning.     ;deidre;

Might be worth trying next time I try to parse a function...although on the flip side I've found some important bugs that way and might not get the same benefit with AFC...

I don't remember if I tried that decompiler, but I have tried others and they simply couldn't handle SMAX.  It'd probably be good for individual functions...but at this point I find assembly easier to handle on an individual-function level than C anyway.

Better get back to the main topic. Just about to try recording using OBS. So wish me luck.
Out of curiosity I my try recommencing one of my old games from scient's patch with your latest, doesn't matter if I corrupt it as I'd lost the plot at 10 cities after a break. That's sleep apnoea for you.

OBS wont record fullscreen games from laptop. And when I try to alttab out of Yyitz's patch that no longer works. By the way the help version number says 2.5. when I looked at it, Yyitzi, but I assume that's just an oversight. Been up all night to get nowhere :mad: So I guess that's it for recording games from this laptop :'( Unless I can get dxwnd to work :-\ Just don't to go back to 800 x 400 or whatever it was. OBS would be great with its direct game capture for those with a PC though.

Strange; I have no trouble alt-tabbing out.

S**T what's happened to my laptop. I must have been out of my head when I bought this £900 monstrosity. Unfortunately no longer have the eyesight to build my own. This is what happens when you have friends who are microsoft engineers.
Oh just had a thought, it may still be hooked by Dxwnd even when thats not running.

Just a quick update to clarify a few things in case any end up here after falling down the rabbit hole.
As I mentioned elsewhere the GOG version of SMAC(X) has the Alt-Tab disabled, but one can just Ctl-Alt-Tab.
The furthest I've got with recording is monitor capture with OBS, but that runs under windows basic colour. (Oh how I want to go back to desktops). VLC is another good option if one can master audio capture with the correct addon.

And here we tinker with metal, to try to give it a kind of life, and suffer those who would scoff at our efforts. But who's to say that, if intelligence had evolved in some other form in past millennia, the ancestors of these beings would not now scoff at the idea of intelligence residing within meat?
