Support for record / playback

[Raincloud7]

I could not find any information on the new record playback commands.

Looking at the decoded file (and identifying the ids) i see this:

  3290:  // record
  - $0==1? $2:=3290 $4:=0
  - $0==2?
  - $0==3?
  - $0==4?
  - $0==5?
  - $0==6?  
  3291:  // play
  - $0==1? $2:=3291 $4:=0
  - $0==2?
  - $0==3?
  - $0==4?
  - $0==5?
  - $0==6?

which does not make sense to me. Variables $2 and $4 are not used otherwise as it seems. Did anyone manage to build custom books with recording / playback.

There are quite a few holes in at least Die verrueckte Weltreise.gme(meaning parts of the file that are not understood by tttool):

My guess would be, that tttool does not understand the new record and playback commands, so they don't appear in the exported file.

Here are some OIDs that record and play back in that file (first code for recording, second one for playback), if that helps with examining the file:

• 3218, 3219 sorcerer, record slot 0001
• 3221, 3222 sorceress, record slot 0002
• 3226, 3227 bird, record slot 0003
• 3237, 3238 unicorn, record slot 0005
• 3245, 3246 sheep, record slot 0006
• 3248, 3249 ear, record slot 0007
• 3252, 3253 owl, record slot 0008
• 3257, 3258 iceman, record slot 0009
• 3270, 3271 girl, record slot 0010
• 3274, 3275 boy, record slot 0011
• 3278, 3279 dog, record slot 0012
• 3286, 3287 clown, record slot 0013
• 3290, 3291 knight, record slot 0014
• 3294, 3295 horse and pig, record slot 0015
• 3301, 3302 dragon, record slot 0016

The last two are mostly addtional gametables as referenced at 0xc8 and 0xcc. Looks like tttool does not know about them. We do not know why we have several gametables but as the structure is known I'd say at least tttool explain and tttool holes should respect them! @joachim: I'll open an issue for that Uli

A did some check with random OIDs on that gme file. For every OID I checked (3290,3291,3292,3295,3495,308,3904) $2 is always set to the OID. So I guess $2 is something like "last selected OID". And $4 is always set to 0. Uli
