I've got it so it doesn't crash until after it's parsed. It looks like I missed a level of indirection in the comm code (comm code = sc2 style, 'conversation manager' = new style).

Now I'm wondering whether the best way is to have the comm code skip that level of indirection when it's not needed (the conversation manager hands it raw line numbers) or whether I should incorporate the level of indirection to the conversation manager.

To make that call, I need to go back and refamiliarize myself with how that works in SC2.

So, a bit longer, but we're really getting there.

I can commit the fixes I've made so far if you'd like, but it still won't work until I get this resolved.

Ok good work. I haven't looked too closely at how to connects to SC2
myself but I will try to learn about it. Remember that incremental
steps, like just displaying some text and letting the player choose a
response, is progress and worth checking in even if other parts are
still not working.

I say: if your code changes compile, and we can run the rest of the
game at least, then commit it (it's possible that it won't compile in
MSVC but that's easy to fix). That way other people might be able to
help with it.

Two other questions about issues you had before:

What's the situation with building on OSX? I'm going to mvoe the
"use_library GLIB" command down and test it in Linux as suggested by
Jaakko, but I can't test an OSX build.

Is committing with SVN still broken for you? If so, can you go to the
root of the working copy, and run "svn info" and tell me the results?

Well, it crashes when it would begin the voice track. So short of ripping out the check that that's playing (it's an assertion failure that kills it), it doesn't work yet. Maybe I should disable that assertion to kick that problem down the road.

I updated glib and opted out of libogg and liborbis in config, and that solved it for the time being.

I haven't tried that since then...
