ZDoom ACS disassembler/decompiler

[wildweasel]

Hey, well you might need to update ListACS to a new ACS version, because there is this WAD that was pulled from /idgames called Caverns of Blood. It is a Terry WAD that slipped past the filter because the scripts and strings were obfuscated, and the scripts were obfuscated by adding an ACS command that ListACS doesn't support which blanks out all the scripts. The trap also occurs VERY randomly, but in gamemodes like LMS for Zandronum, it takes only 3 minutes. But if you are playing single player, it can take anywhere from a few minutes, to a few hours. The WAD was also made by Terry himself.

Thank you for the heads-up. If it hasn't already been reported, you should also consider sending Ty Halderman a message about it so the proper action can be taken.

I already said it was pulled from /idgames, just saying.

ListACS needs to update the list of pcodes, I'm trying to fix a missing script reference in Wrath of Cronos by pulling the script from a previous version (not sure why it was removed and still referenced in the latest version..) but I can't decompile its ACS, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

I know this is a really old thread, but to anyone who might have trouble, I got it working by using these command lines:

Code: Select all

echo off
cls
set /p fname=Filename: 
listacs.py -d *input* -o "output"
pause
exit

That's the same as what TZK posted earlier, just with the .py after listacs.

After that I had to install python 2.5. I had a newer version before, but that makes it incompatible with this application, so installing 2.5 worked.

I tried this, and it still doesn't work for me. I've even installed Python 2.5, too.

What I end up getting after typing in a filename is this:

Code: Select all

Filename:test.acs
Traceback (most recent call last):

    'THINGS',
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Press any key to continue...

If this is telling me that the person who released this on Github didn't even check for something as simple as syntax errors, I'm going to lose it...

[_mental_]

If this was about my fork, I didn’t check anything of course. Or maybe I did... Anyway, set literals require Python 2.7 while you are using 2.5 for no apparent reason.

[EpicTyphlosion]

I don't think so, it was from someone named alexey-lysiuk on Github. I was using 2.5 because the person who replied to this thread before me said you'd have to install it, and since the files in alexey's fork was so outdated I figured that doing so might get it to work. What's ironic is that I had 2.7 (2.7.2 to be specific) installed before I deleted it and installed 2.5, lol

[_mental_]

It's me, and Python 2.7 in needed to run my fork. Regarding being outdated, you are right, there are some features that are not supported. I don't even know what they are exactly. If execution stops with exception, that's probably caused by one of them.

Just installed 2.7, and now I'm getting a completely different traceback:

Guess I'm out of luck then
