Some scripts won't compile

[Jaysyn904]

I have a script that compiles in the standalone nwnsc compiler, compiles in plugin version 1.1.0 with updates for the 35-40 version of NWN, but refuses to compile with plugin version 1.2.0.

w/ v1.2.0 (this is from another user's PC, but I had the exact same issue)

w/ nwnsc

w/ v1.1.0

Hmm, that's a message I've never seen before. There are a few patches on the new compiler pending to update and I was waiting for it to become more stable to apply, but if you can provide at least a sample of the code I could take a better look into it.

PS: You can also check if it will compile with this: https://github.com/niv/neverwinter.nim

Or if changing this option inside the compiler settings works:

If it does compile with Beamdog's compiler is a hint for me that I'll have to update the code already.

I reverted to v1.2.0 & it is defaulted to Native. I set the compiler to Legacy NscLib & it did compile.

As I suspected, the problem is with the Beamdog compiler, not the plugin. The plugin is a mere wrapper for their code.

If you want to test further, please try to compile with the official tool (https://github.com/niv/neverwinter.nim), because from here I don't have the full stack of your code. If it passes you can report back on this thread and I can see if it is already worthy of upgrading the plugin to the latest version of the official compiler.

Thanks.

It fails w/ nwn_script_comp. See issue here: niv/neverwinter.nim#108

[Leonard-The-Wise]

Ah ok. So I won't be able to fix it by myself, but as soon as they solve it there I can pull the patch for the plugin also.

I'll keep an eye for it (and you can also tell me if they close your issue). At least you have the workaround by using the old engine meanwhile.

Thanks again for reporting.
