Enrico Rolfi's A-SCI A.SCI, the first Assembler for the Sierra Creative Interpreter versions 1.1 and 2 (SCI32), entirely written in C++.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not a compiler; basically, it’s a disassembler with an assembler to reverse the process, which allows for minor changes to games. Use at your own risk! Double check your game after doing deep modifications to it!A-SCI was [[N/A|N/A's]]  A-SCI is no longer actively maintained.</div>

==<br /> Features ==

kernels.pre:
Default Kernel call names for SCI 1.1 (16-bit) games. See below.

rdkernel.exe:
Extracts Kernel call names from SIERRA.EXE to standard output.

scasm11.exe:
Assembler for SCI 1.1 (16-bit) scripts (SCH+SCS -> HEP+SCR).

scasm20.exe:
Assembler for SCI 2.x (32-bit) scripts (SCH+SCS -> HEP+SCR).

scdasm11.exe:
Disassembler for SCI 1.1 (16-bit) scripts (HEP+SCR -> SCH+SCS).

scdasm20.exe:
Disassembler for SCI 2.x (32-bit) scripts (HEP+SCR -> SCH+SCS).


The heap sources are saved in a separate source file because I found
that this makes it easier for me to find my way through it, and because
it's easier for the assembler to handle as well. It pays off having a
text editor that can open multiple files, I guess... :)

Old SCI0 and SCI1 games, where heap and code are combined, are not supported.

==<br /> Known issues ==

* *  Object overloading (i.e. having both Actor "FreshHound" and Talker
"FreshHound" in the same script) is not supported. Fortunately, I've
never come across a game that needed this.

* Don't do any fancy stuff within strings --- "\n" is supported. OEM
special accented characters are supported, too, but don't try things
like "\0" or "blah\x22\x34". 

* The assembler does not always use the most efficient coding form ---
for example, jumps are ALWAYS 3-byte instructions, even if a 2-byte one
would do the job. This is because the jump distance is only known once
symbol references are resolved, which happens after assembly.

* The LEA instruction is not disassembled into clear text. It is however
reassembled properly. Therefore you shouldn't mess around with it. :)
