Further CTL investigation

[olly]

I've added all of the voices that Leilond kindly identified http://forum.dark-omen.org/campaigns/new-campaigns-questions-and-suggestions-t1429.0.html;msg14079#msg14079

and then disassembled DO/CTL/B101/

The Prettifier is fantastic
http://wiki.dark-omen.org/do/DO/CTL/B101/Disassembled

Ideally we want to learn more about the Combat rounds and Leadership tests that Evgen has been investigating and the portrait voice of "Stand Firm Men" that is associated with the tests. It's voice 7 and appears within CTLs

test_unit_afraid   is played when Attribute NeverRetreats or WillNeverRout is set and UnitFlag1 "50% Units Lost"

So maybe we can locate it in IDA and then work out similar possible combat functions, to see it adheres to the Warhammer 4th Edition Rulebooks.

Interestingly the following CTL commands are never used:

Code:

#24 add_global_r_i
#26 (called automatically each time the CTL script executes)
#27 (called when #26 set the true-flag)
#31 wait_unit_flag2_clear
#32 wait_unit_flag2_set
#37 wait_unit_flag3_set
#42 send_event_to_self_if_label_exists
#56
#57
#67
#68
#6f broadcast_event_to_enemies
#8a
#90 nop_90
#91 nop_91
#9a
#9e
#a0
#a4 find_enemy_simple
#a5 find_enemy_simple_visible
#a8 find_enemy_nth
#a9 find_enemy_nth_visble
#aa find_enemy_unittype_nth
#ab find_enemy_unittype_nth_2
#bb
#be
#c8
#c9 clear_last_event
#cb
#ec test_other_unit_r_eq_i
#f0

The following are only used in the tutorial (SPARE9):

Code:

#d9 test_user_action
#da ui_indicate
#db (this seems to check if you attack the training dummies)
#dc
#dd set_unit_r_direction
#de test_unit_at_node
#df test_unit_attacking
#e1 test_other_unit_flag3
#e2 test_unit_selected
#e3 test_any_spell_selected
#e4
#e5
#e6 test_mapmode
#e8
#e9
#ea test_sound_playing
#eb test_other_unit_flag1
#ed end_mission
#ee test_event_from_unit

Which means the following used opcodes have unknown purpose:

Code:

#14
#2b
#3c
#45
#46
#47
#48
#49
#4a
#4b
#4d

#b1
#bc
#c5
#c6
#ca
#cc
#d6
#db
#dc
#e4
#e5
#e8
#e9
#ef

Unknown OpCodes by popularity (funcs >= 100 are only counted once because they are always the same):

This means these are useful for map scripting in general.

Code:

406 #14
374 #3c
252 #d6
157 #50
145 #2b
101 #48
 86 #47
 78 #43
 60 #7e
 59 #9b
 45 #51
 34 #89
 29 #64
 26 #80
 24 #87
 15 #7f
 10 #e8
 10 #a1
 10 #5e
  9 #62
  8 #dc
  7 #81
  6 #7d
  6 #46
(rest omited)

When counting including all funcs >= 100 in all maps (shows which unknown opcodes the standard library uses alot)

Code:

990 #14
 813 #9b
 580 #2b
 536 #48

Excellent knowledge and yep we've certainly progressed Dark Omen along way since 2007, many thanks!
