I'm sure there's an explanation for this. I had some code that used the '|' (or) operator to join two bytes into a 16 bit value. I recently upgraded from a version that was about 1 year old to V2.14 and it seems something has changed. Here is a simplified case to reproduce what I am seeing. Basically, the code that joins the bytes using '+' and using '|' used to do the exact same thing, but now the '|' doesn't seem to work right.

Quote: uint16 Z1; uint8 b1 = 2; uint8 b2 = 2; string str; //Using '+' Z1 = (b1 & 0x00FF) + ((b2 << 8) & 0xFF00); b1 = Z1 & 0x00FF; b2 = (Z1 >> 8) & 0x00FF; str = "First Run - b1=" + b1 + " b2=" + b2 + "\n"; //Using '|' Z1 = (b1 & 0x00FF) | ((b2 << 8) & 0xFF00); b1 = Z1 & 0x00FF; b2 = (Z1 >> 8) & 0x00FF; str += "Second Run - b1=" + b1 + " b2=" + b2 + "\n";

and the output in str is

Quote: First Run - b1=2 b2=2 Second Run - b1=2 b2=0

Thanks in advance.

This must be a bug that has managed to creep into the code. What version were you using before you upgraded to 2.14?

I'll have this fixed as soon as I get home from my vacation (in January).

Current version with bug: 2.14.1
Previous version that used to work with the '|' operator: 2.8.0a

Thanks for the awesome scripting library!

I wrote all the functions for scriptfile.cpp and scriptfile.h trying to follow your style as much as possible.

I wanted to offer this code to you as a means to help contribute. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send it your way.

I am indeed interested. If you can send it to my e-mail andreas@angelcode.com I'd be grateful.

Regards,
Andreas

I've fixed this bug now. You can get the fix from the SVN.

Thanks,
Andreas
