Why isn't this program released as open source if you're directly using code from SparkIV, which is GPL?

Only the AES key finding (if it was up to me I would just have hardcoded the key, but that's appearantly illegal) and AES decrypting code were "taken from" SparkIV, but undergone the necessary changes to make it compatible with this tool's requirements. This is mentioned in the about dialog.
The compiling/decompiling part are completely written by myself.

Oh I see. Do you know how to use the try and catch opcodes, and if you do - do you know how they behave? I have not been able to find any of their usage, an example may help and do you think they'll be able to catch native call related errors? My assumption is they will

Also, I noticed that Push is used in a hex manner, is there any way to override this to decimal? It can be frustrating because WAIT takes a milliseconds argument (large int) which is usually decimal.

There shouldn`t be push and call native function, but parameters should be included as function parameters, in line of calling. It should be compiled to pushes back. I`ve been scripting SCM a lot and know its simple hex structure, but never scripted SCO in GTA IV.
But "SCO ToolBox is designed for decoding, encoding and low level editing of SCO files."

I don't know about the try-catch, unfortunately.
I will look into making Push as a decimal, for now you could use PushS (up to 65536) or PushF for float values; for example:

CODE

PushS 1000 CallNative WAIT 1 0

I classify that as High Level editing. It would not be that hard to compile high level code; decompiling SCO's to high level seems a lot harder to realise.

Did you build this based on the specification listed on GTA IV Modding Wiki? I may have uncovered an error. According to SparkIV source, StrCat, StrCatI and IntToStr are all 2 bytes each, OpenIV and SparkIV will represent them normally with "16" appended to it.

Yes, I based it on that.
However, it decompiles and compiles the huge main.sco without binary differences (except float values), so I don't know if it's an error.

Its very bad. Open IV has more "high level Opcodes" as SCO Tool Box. But you cant compile it.

So with OpenIV you see more code, and with sco tool box you see less code but you can compile....

Hi, i open the roman1.sco in advanced mode and game version 1.0.7.0, do not modify anything, save as SCO file (encoded), replace over OpenIV and game Crash when game loading....

[flitskikker]

Since SCOCL is released, I've made the current version (1.2.7) available with the source code.

Hope you like it and find it useful.

Thank you . Yey you fixed the bug where it would corrupt scripts.

Any chance you could modify this to work with the xbox sco's?

Which bug would that have been?

I've never looked into XBOX SCO files, so I'm afraid I can't help you with that.

Ow yeah i made ranked coop match "Hangman's Noose" better. Now just go and select level and get MAX 32000 $(MINIMUM IS 29000$) in one match . I Will try with others too. IF YOU WANT YOUR MODDED MONEY, YOU MUST BE HOSTER, or it WILL NOT work I wanted to make more money like 500 000 but Compiler gets error. It says that it's too much or something...
