Compiler

File Name Format

These fields specify the path and name for compiled files using placeholder variables:

• $dir – input file directory path

• $name – input file name (without extension)

• $ext – input file extension

Example: Input file: C:\MyDir\main.txt

• $dir = C:\MyDir

• $name = main

• $ext = .txt

Using format $dir\$name.scm creates output file: C:\MyDir\main.scm

String Case

Compiler will transform string literals to selected case.

Options

Strict IF Validation

The compiler counts and validates number of used conditions in an IF statement. The upper limit is 8.

Ranges check

The number of local and global variables is limited. When this option is checked, the compiler checks if a variable fits the available range.

Add extra info to SCM

If this option is checked the compiler adds extra information at the end of the resulting file. This info is used later when this file gets disassembled to restore the source closer to the original. The following data is stored:

• HEX..END constructs offsets

• global variables names

• full source code (use $NOSOURCE to disable)

• current edit mode

Starting from v3.8.0 the disassembler can ignore extra information.

Show warning

This option is only used during compilation of the San Andreas scripts. If the game is running, the file script.img containing external scripts can't be overwritten as the game uses this file and the compiler complains about it. You may disable the warning by unchecking this box.
