afputils render w/MGA

[Zoft123]

Just wanted to report some errors I've encountered when trying to use the render functionality of afputils with Metal Gear Arcade's AFP files in-case you're actively trying to find/fix any reported errors with Bemaniutils.

I will include both the error message + the respective AFP file.

First Error Example:

Info:
afp_training.afp  - training_beta - 1360x768 - 4285 frames
Command used: 
./afputils render  -s --path training_beta --output ./afp/training_beta.gif ./afp/afp_training.afp

I had to put the afp files in a .zip to be able to attach.

Not surprised there. The renderer is mostly targetting passive animations in newer games. Games like The*BishiBashi and MGA both actually make use of the AFP bytecode to provide interactivity and menu screens. So, it's going to be barfing on my wildly incomplete bytecode engine that is missing much of the standard library on the first bits. The only bytecode I implemented was for AFP files that used bytecode for loop control and masking in Pop'n and IIDX. And it looks like it's barfing on a tag type that I didn't implement on the others, because it was never seen in other games.

Not sure if I'll get to this, I've mostly moved on from the AFP utilities and they exist as documentation and as an exercise to the reader. Some people have used the utilities to extract other games and extend them.

But this is good to have as a reference.

Ah thanks for the reply! Yeah I read your write-up on your afputils and it seems like a wild format to try and map every single thing out for. Just figured I'd bring them up in-case you ever wanted to look into it more. I appreciate what the tool is able to do already regardless though!
