Is it possible to load code from a text file, so that the code IN the text file is followed as if it were actually in the program at that point? Do I make sense?

I don't think that's possible in DBC.

you would need to write a parser so every command u want
would need to be read then exe'ted inside the exe i.e.

Psudo code

Load my object "bob.x" ` inside the text file

open the file
read the string
check if its a valid command
exe that command
get next line
if nomore lines = 1 then end loop
close the file

but u cant do the
Quote: "exe that command"
part rendering it impossible...unless u knew the format a exe was saved as then went:

open the file
read the string
check if its a valid command
save it to an exe file
if nomore lines = 1 then end loop
close the file
run the exe


but making a valid win32 aplication thro the equivilent of typeing text in a word file and nameing is .exe.. is kinda hard...

i guess you could decipher the contents of the text file? kinda like make db in db

you open to read, read each into a string, analyse the string and find what commands it contains, execute the command, etc

My string tokenizer would make parsing that text file very simple.

it would get pretty hardcore if you declare variables in the .txt file, say you had:

x = x + 1
print x

you would have to have reserved variables to replace the variables in the text file, you will aslo have to know each and every variable in the text file.

good luck, if you succeed your one step closer to making your own script language and interpreter.

Has anyone actually tried any scripting with DB?
I need to make a script system for my RPG for cut scenes and event triggers so any advice or tales of experience in this would be a help.

Thanks,
Angel. X
