Tapple's fourth round of Script Studio QA. The converter writes ll.List2Json where ll and llcompat are one function. It keeps the line breaks of a list written over several lines. The grid's LSL compile errors are listed at their own lines, not line 1. Formatting can break a line that is too long. The vcpkg registry moves to its latest commit, and Tailslide now comes from slua 0.732.16, which carries its own.

Commits

ll. where only SLua's deprecation sets a function apart

  • llcompat has its own versions only of the functions that take or return an index (SLua's lll.cpp). Our traits add those whose booleans differ, and those removed from ll.
  • For List2Json and the other 54 functions whose only trait flag is SluaDeprecated, the two tables share one function, and every llcompat member is deprecated anyway. So the converter wrote llcompat.List2Json, which implied a difference, and whose warning named nothing to use.
  • These functions are now written ll., and the warning names lljson.encode. This relaxes the 2026-09-30 "no deprecated ll. call" rule for these functions only. llcompat stays wherever it differs from ll.
  • SlCompatCall offers the same swap.
  • TRUE in a list stays 1, which gives the same JSON as LSL did.

The grid's LSL compiler, read at its lines

  • The region compiles LSL for Luau's VM with Tailslide. It reports Line 320: WARN: words, with lines counted from 1. Neither the Luau form nor the Mono form matched it, so each such message was read as an error with no place.
  • That form is parsed now, in either language.
  • Places named inside a message, such as previously declared at (345, 1), are mapped back to the source like the line itself. That means past the envelope's lines and through the preprocessor's map, with an include's place written as (2, 9) in lib.lsl.
  • A problem that names no line used to show as line 1, and double-clicking it jumped there. That covered compiler lines of an unknown form, run-time errors with no place, and the definitions and weight notes. Such a problem is now line -1:
    • no line in the list;
    • no mark or squiggle;
    • skipped by F8;
    • not moved by edits;
    • choosing it opens the tab without moving the caret.

Lists keep the LSL's lines

  • A list literal the LSL wrote over several lines is written over the same lines: { where [ was, and } on its own line where ] was. A nested list goes a level further in.
  • Comments inside the list stay on their lines.
    • How: a statement's inside comments are held until its first line is written, where the list's markers place them. Any comment without a marker goes above the line, as before.
    • So a particle table or a table.extend keeps its comments above the statement, and nothing is lost or doubled.
  • A comment after the statement trails its last line.
  • Tapple's llList2Json example now converts to exactly the hand-written version.

The formatter breaks lines past a width

  • ALScriptFormatWidth (120 by default, 0 for never) is under Preferences > Editor > Formatting.
  • A wider line is broken at the commas of its widest bracket, one part a line, and a part still too long is broken again. A call's last table stays on the call's line (f(a, { … })).
  • Never broken:
    • a vector or rotation;
    • a line with a comment inside it;
    • a line a string or comment runs on past.
  • Formatting the result again changes nothing.
  • Format Document and Format Selection use the new formatEach, so edits are still made line by line.
  • Also fixed: an LSL line that began with a vector was spaced < 1, 2, 3 >.

The registry's latest, and Tailslide the one slua carries

  • The alchemy-registry baseline moves to 33d9cfd: slua 0.732.16, cef-bin 154.0.8037.98 and faudio 26.10. The sentry-native, sentry-cocoa and md4c updates reach only the builds that use them.
  • slua 0.732.16 builds Tailslide in its own tree and installs it as unofficial::slua::libtailslide. vcpkg won't install the tailslide port beside it, so the port is dropped from the manifest and the registry's package list. ll::tailslide is now slua's target, and includes stay <tailslide/...>.
  • Its Tailslide is 1.5.15. That release already has the fixes from all seven of the old port's patches, and negating the smallest integer no longer overflows.
  • API changes:
    • The builtins loaders return whether every definition was read. A definitions file with lines Tailslide skipped is now logged; loading is otherwise unchanged.
    • MonoScriptCompiler::_mInGlobalInitializer is gone; nothing here used it.
  • Tailslide's test scripts are copied again from the fork: global_negation.lsl and vector_products.lsl are new, and constprop.lsl and num_literals.lsl gain the 32-bit cases.
  • check_script_strings.py finds Tailslide inside the slua checkout, or a standalone one given with --tailslide.

Testing

  • alscript ctest 50/50 on macOS (RelWithDebInfo), with both Luau solvers for the converter.
  • New and changed cases:
    • allsltoslua 82, plus 7, 37, 66 and 76 updated;
    • alscriptlintpass 3;
    • alscriptmessages 11;
    • alscriptformatter 10 and 11.
  • Newview: alscriptrecompile 5 and alscriptproblemspane 16 are new. alscriptstudiochecking, alscriptstudiodoc, alscriptstudiosaving, alscriptlookup and alscripttypes pass.
  • After the registry bump: all 411 ctest tests pass on macOS (RelWithDebInfo), the viewer included. check_script_strings.py reports that everything agrees.
  • The viewer builds.
  • Not yet checked by hand:
    • an LSL save on the grid with a shadowing warning landing on its line (this confirms Tailslide's lines count from 1 there too);
    • format on save at width 80;
    • the registry bump on Windows and Linux, and in an Xcode build.

…t's is

Where SLua's ll deprecates a function and nothing else sets it apart --
no indexes from 0, no 1 or 0 for a boolean, still in ll -- llcompat's is
the same function, and deprecated too, as every llcompat member is. The
converter wrote llcompat's anyway, which said there was a difference
where there was none, and its deprecation named nothing to use. It
writes ll's now: ll.List2Json, whose deprecation names lljson.encode, in
either style. The note saying so is the same. llcompat stays where it
answers otherwise than ll's.

SlCompatCall offers llcompat.List2Json as ll.List2Json for the same
reason; it still offers nothing where ll's deprecates one that differs.

allsltoslua 7, 66, 76; their check against deprecated ll calls lets
through those ll's only deprecates. alscriptlintpass 3.

…is at none

The region compiles LSL for Luau's VM with Tailslide, which says
`Line 320: WARN: words`, a line counted from 1. That form was neither
Luau's nor LSL's Mono compiler's, so each such line was read as an error
with no place. It is read in either language now, its level as it says it.
The places its words name, `previously declared at (345, 1)`, are of the
text that went up. They are written again as the source counts them, as
the line is: past the envelope's lines, back through the preprocessor's
map, and an include's as `(2, 9) in lib.lsl`.

A problem that names no line kept line 0 all the same. It was listed at
line 1, a double-click took the caret there, and the editor marked and
squiggled the first word. That was true of a compiler line of no known
form, a run-time error of no place, and the definitions and weight notes.
Now such a problem is at line -1. The pane lists it with no line, marks
nothing, F8 steps past it, an edit does not slide it, and choosing it
opens its tab without moving the caret.

alscriptmessages 11, alscriptrecompile 5, alscriptproblemspane 16.

The converter wrote every list literal on one line, so a llList2Json of
pairs, one to a line, with lists nested in it, came out as one line of
three hundred characters. A list the LSL wrote over several lines is now
written over the same ones. What was on a line together stays together,
`{` is where `[` was, and `}` gets its own line where `]` had its own. A
nested list goes a level further in, and a rule table in one does too.

Each comment in such a list stays where it was: after its item on the
line, or on a line of its own. A statement's comments inside it are put
off to the first line written of it, where the list's marks place them;
any the line has no place for go over it, as before, so none is lost or
doubled. A comment after the statement trails its last line, not its
first. A list in a line made inside an expression stays on one line.

allsltoslua 82, and 37, whose list comments are now on their lines.

…n it

Formatting changed indentation and spacing only, so format on save left
a line of three hundred characters as it was. A line wider than
ALScriptFormatWidth (120 by default, as StyLua's; 0 for never, under
Preferences > Editor > Formatting) is now broken at the commas of a
bracket on it, each part on a line of its own a level further in, and
the closing bracket back at the line's level. A part still too long is
broken again.

The bracket is the widest with commas, looked for inside the widest
without. Where its last part is a table or list with commas of its own,
that is broken instead and kept on the call's line -- `f(a, {` and
`})` -- as Prettier hugs a last argument. Never broken: an LSL vector or
rotation, a line with a comment inside it, a line a string or comment
runs on past, a bracket left open on the line. A comment at a line's end
goes after its last part. A tab is a level wide. Formatted again, the
parts stay as they are, since the indentation rules put them where the
break did.

Format Document and Format Selection go through formatEach, one entry
for each line of the text with a broken line's breaks in its entry, so
the edits are still made line for line. formatLines keeps every line's
number, as before.

An LSL line that began with a vector was spaced `< 1, 2, 3 >`, in a list
written over lines by hand as well; it is spaced as a vector now.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Script Studio can break long formatted lines at suitable commas. Set the maximum line width in Editor preferences; set it to 0 to disable line breaking.
    • Compiler diagnostics can show mapped source locations, including additional locations mentioned in a message. Problems without a known location appear without an editor mark or location.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Multiline lists retain their line breaks and comments when converted to SLua.
    • SLua conversion and linting handle functions deprecated only in SLua more accurately, including XOR functions.
    • Tailslide compiler diagnostics are recognized and their source locations are mapped correctly.

Walkthrough

The changes add configurable formatter wrapping, update SLua conversion of multiline lists and deprecated calls, and extend Script Studio to parse, map, display, and navigate Tailslide diagnostics. They also update Tailslide build discovery and add compiler test cases.

Changes

Formatter Width and Script Studio Integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Formatter width and line output
indra/alscript/core/alscriptformatter.*, indra/alscript/tests/alscriptformatter_test.cpp
The formatter adds optional comma-based wrapping for eligible over-width lines. format enables wrapping, formatLines does not, and formatEach returns formatted lines individually. Tests cover wrapping constraints and output stability.
Script Studio formatting preference and integration
indra/newview/app_settings/settings_alchemy.xml, indra/newview/skins/default/xui/en/floater_script_studio_prefs.xml, indra/newview/alfloaterscriptpreferences.cpp, indra/newview/alfloaterscriptstudio.cpp
Script Studio adds the persisted ALScriptFormatWidth setting and preference control. Formatting uses formatEach.

Tailslide Diagnostic Parsing and Source Locations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tailslide diagnostic parsing and data
indra/alscript/core/alscriptmessages.*, indra/alscript/tests/alscriptmessages_test.cpp, indra/newview/alscripttypes.h, indra/newview/alscriptworkspace.cpp
The parser extracts Tailslide diagnostic lines and message-location mentions. Workspace diagnostics retain the parsed mentions.
Diagnostic mention mapping
indra/newview/alscriptstudiodoc.*, indra/newview/alscriptrecompile.cpp, indra/newview/tests/alscriptrecompile_test.cpp
Script Studio maps valid diagnostic mentions through source maps and formats mapped messages and primary locations.
Line-less problem display and navigation
indra/newview/alfloaterscriptstudio.cpp, indra/newview/alscriptstudiochecking.cpp, indra/newview/alscriptproblemspane.cpp, indra/newview/tests/alscriptproblemspane_test.cpp
Problems without source lines retain line -1. They are listed without editor marks or locations, and navigation and remapping handle them without treating them as located.

SLua Conversion and Deprecated Calls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Multiline list layout and comments
indra/alscript/lsl/allsltoslua.cpp, indra/alscript/tests/allsltoslua_test.cpp
The SLua writer preserves multiline list layout and positions comments alongside list items or continued code. Tests cover nested lists and comment placement.
SLua deprecation and llcompat selection
indra/alscript/lsl/allsltoslua.cpp, indra/alscript/lint/alscriptlintpass.cpp, indra/alscript/tests/allsltoslua_test.cpp, indra/alscript/tests/alscriptlintpass_test.cpp, indra/newview/skins/default/xui/en/strings.xml
SLua-only deprecated calls use the ll path with deprecation notes. Lint rules and tests cover llcompat recommendations and Base64 and XOR call output.
Detected-event parameter handling
indra/alscript/lsl/allsltoslua.cpp, indra/alscript/tests/allsltoslua_test.cpp
Detected-event handlers emit the detected-count local only when the handler uses its first parameter.

Tailslide Integration and Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Builtin initialization reporting
indra/alscript/lsl/allslservice.cpp
Initial and incremental builtin loading checks the initializer result and logs a warning when definitions are not read.
SLua-bundled Tailslide dependency and discovery
indra/cmake/Dependencies.cmake, indra/vcpkg-configuration.json, indra/vcpkg.json, scripts/content_tools/check_script_strings.py, doc/ARCHITECTURE.md
The build and tooling locate Tailslide through SLua. The vcpkg configuration removes the standalone Tailslide dependency.
Tailslide test inputs and version references
indra/alscript/tests/tailslide/README.md, indra/alscript/tests/tailslide/scripts/*, indra/alscript/lsl/allslvalues.cpp
The test documentation updates the Tailslide version and location. Test scripts add compiler cases, and a vector-arithmetic comment is revised.

…line from below the first

Errors at no line sort first, so after a failed save selectFirstError
chose one of them and went nowhere, though an error at a line was listed
below it. It now goes to the first error at a line, and to one at no
line only where no error names a line.

formatEach given a `first` below nought asked writtenLines for the whole
text's runs, which leaves out leading and surplus blank lines and so
read an entry that was not there. It now starts from the first line, so
every line keeps its entry.

The alchemy-registry baseline moves to 33d9cfd: slua 0.732.16, cef-bin
154.0.8037.98 and faudio 26.10, and for the builds with them sentry-native
0.17.2, sentry-cocoa 9.30.1 and md4c 0.6.0.

slua 0.732.16 has Tailslide in its own tree and installs it in its
package as unofficial::slua::libtailslide, which its compiler links
publicly; vcpkg will not install the tailslide port beside it. So the
port leaves the manifest and the registry's package list, and
ll::tailslide is the target slua exports. The headers are still
<tailslide/...>.

Its Tailslide is 1.5.15, which carries what the old port's seven patches
did, and negates an integer wrapping without the overflow. Its builtins
loaders now answer whether every definition was read: a definitions file
with lines Tailslide skipped is said in the log, the rest loaded as
before. MonoScriptCompiler::_mInGlobalInitializer is gone; nothing here
used it.

Tailslide's test scripts are copied again from the fork's
Tailslide/tests/scripts: global_negation.lsl and vector_products.lsl are
new, and constprop.lsl and num_literals.lsl have the 32-bit cases.
check_script_strings.py finds Tailslide in the slua checkout, or a
standalone one named with --tailslide.

All 411 tests pass on macOS; check_script_strings.py agrees.

…names it

`touch_start(integer num)` was written with `local num: number =
#detected` whether the body read num or not, and Luau's lint then said
num was never used. The count is now written only where the body names
the parameter. An assignment to it counts, since it would otherwise set a
global; a count only ever set is still unused, as the LSL had it.
