Syntax: AddDynGraphic = <RgnUID>;<ImageName>;<AltWeatherImgName>;<TerrainUID>;<CooX>;<CooY>;<Tooltip>

No doubt the engine will accept 0 rather than a proper alias for <TerrainUID>.

But is that good scripting practice?

In AJE, there are

---

[root@berto agelint]# ./kwddat AddDynGraphic aje | awk -F\; 'length($4) == 1' | wc -l
8

---

8 instances of this questionable usage of an integer rather than a <TerrainUID> alias.

In AJE, and across all games, there are

---

[root@berto agelint]# ./kwddat AddDynGraphic aje | awk -F\; 'length($4) != 1' | wc -l
215

[root@berto agelint]# ./kwddat AddDynGraphic | awk -F\; 'length($4) != 1' | wc -l
331

---

215 and 331 instances, respectively, of "proper" usage, i.e., a <TerrainUID> alias.

Other than the 8 instances in AJE, no other game has this "fault":

At the AGEWiki, it says:

Value

Integer; [0, 999]

It also says:

Note: To make an event dormant, set MaxOccurs to 0, or set cuOccurs to a number which is equal or greater than the current Maximum number of times it can be fired.

I don't doubt that the engine will accept a -2 value, but are there any bad side effects? Maybe not, but in any case this doesn't conform to the AGEWiki docs.

Of the

TRUE if the Number of Battles that change National Morale compares to the Value.

<Operator>

One of

Integer (1-999)

Again, no doubt the engine will not choke on a negative number. And if not a typo, maybe this is some "clever" kludge to achieve some special purpose or another. But it certainly defies the AGEWiki docs.

Syntax: AddDynGraphic = <RgnUID>;<ImageName>;<AltWeatherImgName>;<TerrainUID>;<CooX>;<CooY>;<Tooltip>

No doubt the engine will accept 0 rather than a proper alias for <TerrainUID>.

But is that good scripting practice?

In AJE, there are

---

[root@berto agelint]# ./kwddat AddDynGraphic aje | awk -F\; 'length($4) == 1' | wc -l
8

---

8 instances of this questionable usage of an integer rather than a <TerrainUID> alias.

In AJE, and across all games, there are

---

[root@berto agelint]# ./kwddat AddDynGraphic aje | awk -F\; 'length($4) != 1' | wc -l
215

[root@berto agelint]# ./kwddat AddDynGraphic | awk -F\; 'length($4) != 1' | wc -l
331

---

215 and 331 instances, respectively, of "proper" usage, i.e., a <TerrainUID> alias.

Other than the 8 instances in AJE, no other game has this "fault":

We agree (and I already knew) that the engine will always accept an integer in place of an alias, since aliases are just a representation of integer values. But we use, or should use, aliases just as we use domain names, such as www.ageod.com instead of the IP address that the domain name resolves to, in AGEOD's case

I used the expression "false positive [?]" to describe this "bug", but it's not really false: the WARNING aspect of it is still true, if it's not exactly an ERROR. So I will keep this as is, a WARNING. It's still good to know that. As always, and of course, one is free to dispute with/ignore anything that AGElint reports. We humans da judges! [:)]

No doubt many, perhaps most, of these are "false positives" in the sense that their absence is (a) not noticeable at all or (b) merely annoying.

But I report this, for what it's worth. (Maybe not much.)

If any are of concern, please let me know, and I will gladly provide you with file:lineno references.

---

---

I did not discover any references to missing data files. Nor did AGElint discover any problems in the Areas.ini and Regions/*.ini files. (Checking the many different file types is still a work-in-progress.)

I believe I had analyzed the latest available public patch, but I may be mistaken. Quite possibly some of my reported "bugs" etc. were corrected previously.

Thus concludes my series of AGElint reports on bugs, glitches & anomalies discovered in AJE Public Beta Patch 1.01 (released 20121025?).

Let me again observe that, for a new AGEOD game, Alea Jacta Est was relatively clean.

In

---

telemann:/media/KINGSTON/Games/AGEOD # du -skh "Alea Jacta Est"
2.4G Alea Jacta Est

---

2.4G of data across

---

telemann:/media/KINGSTON/Games/AGEOD # find "Alea Jacta Est" -type f -print | wc -l
21708

---

21,708 data files, for there to be just several hundred bugs, glitches & anomalies (of lesser or greater importance) is quite an achievement. Good job!

Some clarification:

I have taken 1-1/2 weeks over a couple dozen forum posts to convey this information. Much of the material I presented is not raw AGElint reporting, rather my command-line work -- entirely optional, not mandatory at all for AGElint operation -- to explain and justify the results. You do not have to be a Linux geek in order to run AGElint!

But AGElint itself required just 10-15 minutes to process all those thousands of files, all that 2.4G of data, in multiple passes, and output the various chk* report files. The agelint executable can error check a single script or data file and spit out results (or not, if the file is clean, bug-free) in the blink of an eye, as fast as you can enter the command and hit the Enter key.

With AGElint, you have a toolkit you can run again and again, as often as you wish, whenever you wish. All automated, no manual intervention required. (I used a simple command line, 'dochk aje QA', to generate all reports.)

I'll have more to say about all of this later. But for now, in closing, two standard bits:

Hope this helps.

No doubt many, perhaps most, of these are "false positives" in the sense that their absence is (a) not noticeable at all or (b) merely annoying.

But I report this, for what it's worth. (Maybe not much.)

If any are of concern, please let me know, and I will gladly provide you with file:lineno references.

I did not discover any references to missing data files. Nor did AGElint discover any problems in the Areas.ini and Regions/*.ini files. (Checking the many different file types is still a work-in-progress.)

I believe I had analyzed the latest available public patch, but I may be mistaken. Quite possibly some of my reported "bugs" etc. were corrected previously.

Thus concludes my series of AGElint reports on bugs, glitches & anomalies discovered in AJE Public Beta Patch 1.01 (released 20121025?).

Let me again observe that, for a new AGEOD game, Alea Jacta Est was relatively clean.

In

---

telemann:/media/KINGSTON/Games/AGEOD # du -skh "Alea Jacta Est"
2.4G Alea Jacta Est

---

2.4G of data across

---

telemann:/media/KINGSTON/Games/AGEOD # find "Alea Jacta Est" -type f -print | wc -l
21708

---

21,708 data files, for there to be just several hundred bugs, glitches & anomalies (of lesser or greater importance) is quite an achievement. Good job!

Some clarification:

I have taken 1-1/2 weeks over a couple dozen forum posts to convey this information. Much of the material I presented is not raw AGElint reporting, rather my command-line work -- entirely optional, not mandatory at all for AGElint operation -- to explain and justify the results. You do not have to be a Linux geek in order to run AGElint!

But AGElint itself required just 10-15 minutes to process all those thousands of files, all that 2.4G of data, in multiple passes, and output the various chk* report files. The agelint executable can error check a single script or data file and spit out results (or not, if the file is clean, bug-free) in the blink of an eye, as fast as you can enter the command and hit the Enter key.

With AGElint, you have a toolkit you can run again and again, as often as you wish, whenever you wish. All automated, no manual intervention required. (I used a simple command line, 'dochk aje QA', to generate all reports.)

I'll have more to say later about all of this later. But for now, in closing, two standard bits:

Hope this helps.

And:

[Disclaimer: I make no claim about the significance or insignificance of any discovered bug, problem, glitch, or anomaly. Whether or not it impacts game play, or goes entirely unnoticed. Whether in the larger scheme of things it's important, or unimportant. I just call them as I see them.]

1 of the reported items could be an issue. Will be fixed in next version.

Thank you for reporting

Regards

Version: Public Beta Patch 1.01 (released 20121025?)

Bug: Bad alias reference.

There are multiple references to an undefined region alias, $Egata.

Examples:

---

[root@berto AJE]# pwd
/media/KINGSTON/Games/AGEOD/Alea Jacta Est/AJE

[root@berto AJE]# ls
Aliases Fonts GameData Includes Saves Scripts Sounds
Events FrontEnd Graphics Logs Scens Settings

[root@berto AJE]# find Aliases GameData Includes Scripts Events Scens Settings -exec egrep -i "egata" {} \; | sort | uniq
AddToRegList = $Sirmium;$Singidunum;$Viminacium;$Mursa;$Egata;$Eravisci;$Racatae
AddToRegList = $Sirmium;$Singidunum;$Viminacium;$Mursa;$Egata;$Eravisci;$Racatae;$Sirmium;$Singidunum;$Viminacium;$Mursa;$Egata;$Eravisci;$Racatae
AddToRegList = $Sirmium;$Singidunum;$Viminacium;$Mursa;$Egata;$Eravisci;$Racatae;$Sulina;$Troesmis;$Tomi;$Scythia Minor;$Dorosturum;$Jatrus;$Novae;$Nicopolis;$Timacus

[that is all instances of the character string 'egata' in any of the relevant game data files & folders]

...

Note ; They are 3 more anomalies with the same ScriptCommand. If you want I can point you where. You help us improving our tool, I can help you improving yours.

If I am reading you correctly, you have discovered problems that I have missed. False negatives, i.e., undetected, unreported genuine errors.

Yes, please, I would like to learn what you have discovered here. Improvements of every kind are good.

(Some background: Too many false positives makes it harder to separate the wheat (true positives) from the chaff (false positives). In my zeal to weed out false positives -- so as not to annoy -- in the AGElint code, on many occasions I have made the judgment call to disregard possible errors. Although it may seem that my zeal goes the other way; that I delight in pointing out errors in excess; no, in fact I attempt judiciously to limit my report of them. Drawing a fine line between false positives and true positives is not always easy. I try my best.)

The 3 anomalies I talked about where reported in one of your later reports ($Oxyrinchus. Scaldis Prom... and another one I do not recall).

I dont know if this goes here or elsewhere. AJE is crashing on new turn. In fact it was (until i deleted them) loading old saves midway through new turn
