[06:00] <grogbot> <antoniou79> @Bluddy not much since the last update. I'm working on the text language switching. After that it's going to be more content restoration stuff and probably another look at the audio desynch issue that happens on specific cases

[13:27] <Lightkey> James W: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Interspective
[13:28] <criezy> Urgh. I would say the Engine page is probably not the right place to list all those.
[13:29] <Lightkey> DreamMaster: So was the Frotz name change just in the code or official? Before MetaFox adds articles to all Inform games..
[13:32] <criezy> Yes, I was thinking we probably want to rename the Glk/Frotz page to Glk/Zcode, and update the various other places that reference it or the Frotz name.
[13:33] <criezy> I can do that, but I will wait to hear back from Dreammaster.
[13:33] <Lightkey> DreamMaster spelled it ZCode for whatever reason.
[13:34] <Lightkey> Probably to avoid the hyphen.
[13:35] <criezy> He also spelled it zocde ;-)
[13:35] <Lightkey> Only in the commit message, thankfully.
[13:37] <Lightkey> https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/glk/zcode/zcode.h Even the code is still mixed in with Frotz references.

[23:01] <grogbot> <sev> hi @Mikey
[23:01] <grogbot> <sev> it is quiet today
[23:04] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> Agreed. I've been quietly plugging away at disassembling Comprehend's sentence parser. Every time I thought I was getting a grip on everything, it adds extra complexity. ;P
[23:05] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> I'm hoping to get my current work on it done today, because likely I'll have to spend tomorrow working on Glk bug fixes
[23:06] <Lightkey> Or else?
[23:07] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> Likely I'll procrastinate a bit on the bugfixes 🙂
[23:08] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> Ironically, I had already thought I'd fixed the parser this morning with a fix to the original's pair of words replacement with a single Id to allow for the words not to be next to each other. This fixes cases like "Put scepter in Sack" to be correctly encoded as "PutInSack scepter".
[23:11] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> But then I tried something as simple as "Talk to Zin" (a wizard), and it didn't work. But it did in the original, and "Talk Zin" did work. Which lead me into a rabbit hole of how Recomprehend pre-processes the parsed sentence line to set up an array of subject/noun/verb, and then then does several combinations of the of them to see if something matches what one of the scripts handle. Which is how "talk to *" works in the original,
[23:11] <grogbot> because when "Talk to" fails, it tests the simple action/subject for a match
[23:12] <grogbot> <sev> sounds overengineered
[23:12] <Lightkey> I meant, it sounds like there is someone standing behind you with a work schedule in one hand and a whip in the other.

[23:14] <-- ldevulder left irc: Ping timeout: 246 seconds
[23:14] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> Well, in one sense, yes. But considering some of the stuff I've experimented in the past, particularly Starship Titanic, it's super simple in comparison. So I really shouldn't grumble too much that it wasn't already correct. At least Recomprehend had the bulk of the sentence parsing figured out, so I didn't have to do everything from scratch
[23:15] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> Lightkey. LOL, no, except insofar as it would be nice to be at a good stopping point for work on Glk (including Comprehend), so I can move onto to experimenting with Shannara. If that turns out well, it could keep me busy for a while, so I'm leery of getting too interested in it until Glk is in good shape 🙂
