Please do keep working on it. I find it easier to search the text version then have SimPE do it. Maybe you could write a plugin for SimPE to extract the selected bhav or all bhavs as text/html. It'll save us, as modders, some time.

Hey Dizzy.

But confused about this:

3: Array Operation: Stack Object's Object Array: [STR# 0x118:0x0]. Operation: Clear contents of array.; true: 4, false: error
4: Array Operation: Stack Object's Object Array: [STR# 0x118:0x0]. Operation: Resize array to size from 10.; true: 7, false: error

I can't find any STR# 0x118 anywhere.

What am I missing?

I'm guessing Maxis don't bother shipping the object array names for their objects... Having them would be handy, though. (Or maybe the instance number is wrong... But I've not found anything that looks like it could be used instead...)

Nothing to stop you having a STR# 0x0118 file in your own packages, Crammyboy. PJSE (when the next release comes out, if not in the current one: I forget) will use it.

<edit>
Speaking of which, I've finished all the opcodes now. Thanks again to dizzy2 and Shy for making disaSim2 available

. My code is generally all GPL but, as disaSim2 is public domain, I felt I should reciprocate: the BhavWizPrim.cs file that contains all the C# code for the parsing is now public domain.

Over on the PJSE forum, I just posted this in response to a question:

The string sets are different (F5 for OBJF entry points and C9 for Best Object for Function) and don't really match up well. It's odd that Maxis chose two completely different sets of strings (and hence parameter values) for essentially the same thing... no surprises there, then!

Dizzy/Shy -- Can you check whether disaSim2 is using the right string set (it's using C9 rather than F5, IIRC). It looks wrong to me and I'm loathe to change it to be the same as disaSim2 if disaSim2's going to change. But I don't want to be giving PJSE users the wrong info, either.

My view is that "Find best object" is doing different things, other than just looking at the OBJF table. However, "Run Functional Tree" just needs to know the OBJF table index number, so would use the OBJF names.
<edit>
Of course, I could just look at some of the BHAVs that use it...
disaSim2:

Code:

# Group = 0x7F01EC29, Instance = 0x208B
# Title = Function - Message Handler
...
     E: Run Functional Tree: message handler, passing parameters from calling tree; true: true, false: true
...

PJSE:

Code:

[prim 0x0014] Run Functional Tree (wash hands, change icon: False, passing parameters from calling tree: True, running check tree only: False)

The disaSim2 code certainly makes more sense. /sigh/

Yes, disaSim2 is using the right string set (C9). The game convert strings from "Function table names" to OBJF table index numbers. For example, "prepare food" to "prep", "cook food" to "cook", "flat surface" to "surface".

Thanks Shy. Any idea what the process for the conversion is? I get the feeling there more to it than a straight cross-reference process. Is in some BHAV or buried inside the game engine?

The conversion is buried inside the game engine (in Sims2*.exe).

It looks like disaSim2 might need an update? I'm not sure... I hope that either Shy or dizzy come out of hiding, or maybe someone can take the source code and update it. It's really is a fantastic and much needed tool.

I am getting tons of Range error: messages, which I don't know if those are harmless or not.

The out of range errors are probably happening because several new properties were added to sims, amongst other things. We don't know what they all represent yet, so the program can't decode them properly. I'd guess that they're pretty harmless as errors.

Maybe Shy and Dizzy are working on something exciting ready to amaze us all (one can hope).

Numenor, Shy may know more about Dizzy than I do as they have been working on this project together, but I have found out something that might help. A chat friend dug out his mIRC logs and we worked back through them till we found the last few times that Dizzy visited the #grah chatroom. He was not coming so often by then according to other people in the room saying "where have you been?" and he was telling about some poor relationships with other people in the community (I won't go into details here publicly) and also that he was getting heavily into Ubuntu Linux and would probably stop Simming until The Sims 2 would run under Wine.

So the signs are that he simply moved on. Before finding that, it had looked like he left so suddenly that some of us had been getting worried about his welfare.

Thanks:

@echo - for the info. I kinda figured they were 'harmless' but I wasn't absolutely sure. I figured it wouldn't break anything, but I didn't know if the info it would spit out would be egregious or authentic.

@Shy - for coming through with a much needed and appreciated update

@Numenor - just, well because your stuff rocks.

@Inge - for the terribly mysterious and intriguing info. I want to give it the benefit of the doubt, despite what salacious or outlandish rumors that Pescado purports.

But... see now I'm curious about what possible drama might have been going on. I do love juicy gossip.

I'm still getting out-of-range errors for the dialog primitive when I run this on OfB's objects.package.

Please don't PM me with questions. Post them in the appropriate thread.
