Compilation errors caused by deprecated NinjaScript

[Jim W.]

NinjaScript which compiles in NT 6.5 will fail in NT 7 if any of the below depreciated NinjaScript is encountered by NT 7. Note: This list is not exhaustive. I have more to add.

Thanks. In case you're not aware: as a beta user you should have received a document holding a section "Code breaking changes". This section should hold the information you are referring to.

[Jim W.]

I have read that document again and did not find mention that the deprecated DrawXxx overloads that did not have autoScale or autoScale and yPixelOffset have been removed in NT7.

My first compile flagged over 1000 statement that had to be corrected. Easy to add but it took a while. Went much faster when I realized that I should make the changes bottom to top so the next change was not covered by the popup.

[Jim W.]

Below are the remaing DrawXx deprecated overloads that are not in NT7. In some cases, inserting the bool autoScale parameter after the first parameter is all that is required. This list plus my first post covers all the DrawXx methods. I will check the others when I can find the time.

Jim, another method to rapidly change a huge number of entries is to use the find and replace dialogue by hitting Ctrl + F and inputting the text you want it to search for and the text you want to replace it with. Then you can just click replace all and it will do it near instantly.

[Jim W.]

Austin,

Thanks for the suggestion. However, inserting text between the tag and text parameters makes find and replace difficult in this case. I could have used some editors that i have that support find and replace with regular expressions but decided not to do it that way. Also, I considered creating my own overloads which would have been the easiest way to handle the errors. I just decided to bite the bullet.
