Inside DataSection

[Psychophanta]

Ability to do:

Code: Select all

DataSection
Data.l
Blue:$efa284,$8c4131,$ffc3a5
GreenBlue:$bdcf00,$7b7d00,$e7f700
Green:$a0ee00,$307a00,$c0fe00
Data.b
Red:$00,$40,$45
Violet:$bd,$84,$e7
EndDataSection

instead to have to

Code: Select all

DataSection
Blue:Data.l $efa284,$8c4131,$ffc3a5
GreenBlue:Data.l $bdcf00,$7b7d00,$e7f700
Green:Data.l $a0ee00,$307a00,$c0fe00
Red:Data.b $00,$40,$45
Violet:Data.b $bd,$84,$e7
EndDataSection

Maybe I don't fully understand your request, but what about mixed datatypes then?

Nice, but how to write it? can you write an example of how it could be?

@psychophanta:
sorry, i dont understand your point :roll:

[Psychophanta]

I mean that Data command is needed now to be writen one per line.
And i request to be able to write once only. Until data stuff ends or until a new type must be written.
If this would be, then DataSection and EndDatasection commands would be a surplus.
For example, there should be:

Code: Select all

Data.l;   <- Data section beginning
; line with long values....
; another line with long values
; another one
; ...
Data.s
; line with string values....
; another line with string values
; another one
; ...
;etc...
EndData;   <- Data section end

Each Data.<type> would be like DataSection command, but besides of that, it defines a type for the next bytes stuff.

ahhhh ok, i think i got the point...

you can save your datas as binary and include to the datasection, so you dont have to write data.x each line... but its not so easy when you want to change any value in the *.bin inlcuded file...

[Psychophanta]

For included files or binaries would be:

Code: Select all

Data.b
  MapLabel:
  IncludeBinary "Data\map.data"
EndData

That's what I mean, I see no way doing this using your approach.

thats the way i tried to explain
