Need a fresh pair of eyes to look at a script

[burn]

Can't compile DCATKSLV.SSL from UP:

[Error] <DCATKSLV.SSL>:152:46: Expected 'then'.

Can't see what's the problem. Tried older sslc versions, no effect. Anyone wants to give it a shot?

If I cut the give_slave_weapon to:

#define give_slave_weapon(the_slave)                                                  \
            if (self_elevation != 2) then begin                                       \
               if (random(0,1)) then begin                                            \
                  arm_obj(the_slave, PID_SPEAR, 1, 0, 0)                              \
               end else begin                                                         \
                  arm_obj(the_slave, PID_KNIFE, 1, 0, 0)                              \
               end                                                                    \
            end else begin                                                            \
               temp := random(1, 4);                                                  \
            end

the script will compile just fine. It seems there can be only two arm_obj calling in give_slave_weapon, one more it will fail with the same error.

EDIT: looks like the built-in mcpp preprocessor can't handle heavily nested if-else. I use Watcom C as the preprocessor and the script compiles normally.

Damn... thanks.
Anyway, how is it supposed to be used from command line? I don't see any such option in compile.exe.
Or should it be preprocessed into a temp file, and then that file compiled with compile.exe?

Yes, it needs to be preprocessed into a temp file, just like in original P.BAT included in BIS mapper installation.

I see, thank you.

What are the exact options for wcc used in SFSE? I've looked in the sources, but can't find the %param% passed.
Compile.exe dies with "line too long", I tried passing -pw=100, but then it wraps with breaking words, and sslc doesn't want to eat that.

Edit: nevermind, I'm stupid. Didn't disable built-in preprocessor.
