It's not a bug because the "1" in callfunction forces quickbms to create and maintain any variable created in the function so Function_arg1 is then globally visible.

I'm just fixing all the issues.
Currently ARRAY[i] will be not supported in *math because they are just an experimental feature added to quickbms without a real usage.
Basically they should be not used in normal conditions because are very limited (you cannot use ARRAY[3], only ARRAY[VAR]).

The function arguments with keep_variable enabled can't be touched just because that's the way it works (and modifying that code will for sure introduce new issues).

Regarding the confusion caused by strings and numbers and about how they get converted in quickbms, I have finally activated a feature that I introduced many versions ago.
Basically quickbms already had the opportunity to recognized the variables specified between quotes as constants and now I found a lame trick to allow it without modifying everything.
I'm testing it just now and it seems to work correctly but I'm sure there are some side-consequences to verify.
I will keep you update.

Well, pls don't remove it at least from math... I'm still using it, sometimes it's really much more useful than just 1 array (GetArray/PutArray) or tons of vars. And it works absolutely ok, we just must to use the same var for indexes, but it's ok! Because we always can create individual vars (per array) or temp vars (for all/several arrays) for such purpose.

Also you still can use Array[1] / 2 / 3 too - you just have to assign it! And if you wanna use it than you most likely need only few numbers, so it will not be a real problem to assign it (at least for usage inside of your function/s).
Sometimes I'm using it for fucntions which support up to several return values for a common purpose:

Code:

#   ...
    if idx == 0
        set HEX HEX[idx]
    elif idx == 1
        set HEX[1] HEX[idx]
    elif idx == 2
        set HEX[2] HEX[idx]
    elif idx == 3
        set HEX[3] HEX[idx]
    elif idx == 4           # for internal usage only
        set HEX[4] HEX[idx]
    endif
EndFunction

So as you can see here is 4 return values are for user of this function (HEX - HEX[3]) and one (HEX[4]) is for internal usage by other functions (some of them uses both user made and own these HEX values in same call).
In this example an index is defined by user as an argument in CallFunction. But in other usecases it awlays returns all values, obviously you just have to add for for this.
Sometimes this way of using both Array[var] and Array[1] is really useful when you have the same set of a lot of actions to be executed with several vars (array[1], 2, 3, etc) and/or to save the ability to execute a (for) loop over them in the future.

But most of the time I'm just using Array[i] with temp/individual indexes for a lot of values.

P.S. And I'm still talking about regular usage of QuickBMS but for complex formats and/or gentle console output.

I totally agree, it's absolutely ok! I just forgot about KEEP_VAR, so now I'm taking this into account and using KEEP_VAR=0 or flushing methods.

Wow that sounds cool! I'm looking forward to any updates, thanks!

yeah ARRAY[i] will be left untouched. I used the wrong words
Currently I guess to have fixed everything was reported plus a couple of additional things so I think later I can upload a beta and you can check it telling if there is still something to fix.

I've found an error. Using quickbms_4gb 0.6.7a i can't convert 64bit values to hex representation. Here is a screen

aluigi, posted Thu Oct 08, 2015 8:06 am (8205)

That's sprintf.
Using %016llX and %016I64X (the correct formats in this case) doesn't work because the arguments are passed as 32bit.

In your case I suggest the following:
string VAR P "%VAR|x%"
string VAR << 2

Thanks. So it gonna work correctly for bigget and lower offsets too?

aluigi, posted Thu Oct 08, 2015 4:43 pm (8216)

The output is exactly like %016x, so 0x0022334455667788 will be 0022334455667788

Having issues decompressing this zlib compressed file using clog
It decompresses fine with offzip however.

The error states that you used an uncompressed size equal to the uncompressed one.
comtype zlib (which is default) works with the correct sizes.

If you don't know the uncompressed size you should use: comtype zlib_noerror.
It's exactly as "comtype zlib" with the difference of automatically setting the output size, ignoring some possible decompression errors and to save the file "as-is" if the input is not compressed with zlib.

Try it.

For corresponding comtype for deflate is deflate_noerror.
If you don't know if it's zlib or deflate just use unzip_dynamic which tries zlib, then deflate and then "as-is".

TGE, posted Wed Oct 14, 2015 9:42 am (8428)

Using comtype unzip_dynamic and clog NAME OFFSET SIZE 1 fixed the issue I was having, thanks.
The reason I used the same size for the zsize and size is because it was noted in the manual that this would automatically get the decompressed size. Might just have been bad reading on my part though

On a different note.. is there any way to get a string of a number in hexadecimal?

It looks like you were trying to use comtype_scan2.bat/bms on a file of almost 2Gb... oh no no no

The scanner must be used only when you know at 100% what you are doing, for example if you have a small file that you are sure it contains just the compressed stream (no header, no footer, no other stuff).

For using quickbms first you have to figure the structure of the format.
What's the game?

Thank you! It works well on the previous version!

However, don't worry. I'll expect until the next version arrives. I'm simply trying to extract some Smart Install Maker files and with 0.6.7a works as expected.

I have some off-topic (on-topic but not about errors) questions. Should I open a thread or send you a PM

Hello, I was trying to extract some .bff files from Project CARS but I keep getting the same error:

Code:

- error in src\xalloc.c line 676: xdbg_realloc()

Error: memory allocation problem

Here it is a file example: https://mega.nz/#!WMlUwZhL!Uat5mZJytt1iqTRotCXeG0CJPTULU5LW-ZJAJQ0m4wk. I'm using latest (0.7.2a) version. I hope you can fix this.

Also, is it possible to implement a script for working with Codemasters .pssg files? Please check this .pssg file: https://mega.nz/#!7NFy2C6Z!9JTiaVHLyFx8i65QuP-6hIFwHDSfc1fmMd0w3UTUWQc

Finally, I would like to ask for support for FrostBite's .cas files, I would be very glad if you could figure it out.

Thank you very much for your hard work!

Hi, it's a problem affecting the 0.7.2 brach of quickbms and will be fixed in the next version.
In the meantime use 0.7.1:
http://aluigi.org/papers/quickbms_0.7.1.zip

That pssg file is simply compressed with gzip, use 7-zip.

LALHW, posted Fri Jan 15, 2016 7:36 pm (10827)

OK, thank you for your answer. But when decompressing a .pssg file, the extracted doesn't have any extension, and can't be opened by 7zip.
