TightList is a family of functions for encoding lists as strings and then decoding them back into lists.

There are two flavors, TightList and TightListType. The big differences are that TLT preserves types and uses a 6 char header (TL uses a 1 char header).

Goals

  1. Minimal amount of data required without having to use a specialized decoder for data types.
  2. The functions must be fast.
  3. A standardized string format so encoders can be customized.

Points to customize

  • Separator selection
  • Data -> String conversion

TightList Deviations

• TLT BTLT – Uses a complicated float encoder that is tighter than using hex floats (and faster).

LSL

Here are the functions in LSL, they aren't the easiest to customize in this state, it best to use the ESL versions.

ESL

Macro Description
TIGHTLISTPARSE Standard TightListParse function TightListParse(string in)
TIGHTLISTDUMP Standard TightListDump function TightListDump(list in, string seps)
TIGHTLISTDUMPSIMPLE Simple TightListDump function (takes on less parameter) TightListDump(list in)
TIGHTLISTDUMPUNICODE
requires byte2hex 		A Standard version of TLD which generates it's separator systematicaly instead of using the built in list.
TIGHTLISTUNICODESUPPORT
requires byte2hex 		Adds unicode generation support TIGHTLISTDUMP and TIGHTLISTDUMPSIMPLE
TIGHTLISTTYPEQUICKREAD A function for breaking a TightListType string into it's pairs, TightListTypeQuickRead is usualy a macro but by specifying this flag, it becomes a stand alone function (which can be advantageous if using more then one TLT function as a bytecode savings).
NO_TIGHTLISTTYPEQUICKREAD Causes TIGHTLISTTYPEQUICKREAD to become undefined
TIGHTLISTTYPELENGTH Returns the number of entries in a TLT string. TightListTypeLength(string in)
TIGHTLISTTYPEENTRYTYPE Returns the entry type of an entry in a TLT string. TightListTypeEntryType(string in, integer index)
TIGHTLISTTYPEPARSE Converts a TLT string into a fully type list. TightListTypeParse(string in)
TIGHTLISTTYPEDUMP Converts a list into a TLT string TightListTypeDump(list in, string seps)
ALL_TLTD(type, input, index, output_buffer)
optional 		A specialized mode that passes the list entry onto another function to escape.
TLD_DUMPLIST2STRING_MASK
required if ALL_TLTD is defined 		A macro that effects ALL_TLTD, a mask of types (1 << (TYPE_* - 1))
TLTDV(input, index)
optional 		Specialized function for converting a vector into a string
TLTDR(input, index)
optional 		Specialized function for converting a rotation into a string
TLTDF(input, index)
optional 		Specialized function for converting a float into a string
TLTDI(input, index)
optional 		Specialized function for converting an integer into a string
TLTDK(input, index)
optional 		Specialized function for converting a key into a string
TLTDS(input, index)
optional 		Specialized function for converting a string into a string
TLD_DUMPLIST2STRING(in, sep)
Optional, used in TLD and TLTD 		If left undefined, it resolves to llDumpList2String(in, sep), this is useful for when a script uses a specialized encoder for list types.
TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS
Optional, used in TLD and TLTD 		List of characters to use in TLD and TLTD
TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS_LENGTH Number of characters in TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS
must be defined if TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS is defined, otherwise it must be undefined.
TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS_LENGTH_1 TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS_LENGTH - 1
must be defined if TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS is defined, otherwise it must be undefined.
TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS_LENGTH_2 -TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS_LENGTH - 1
must be defined if TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS is defined, otherwise it must be undefined.
TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS_LENGTH_3 -TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS_LENGTH - 2
must be defined if TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS is defined, otherwise it must be undefined.
TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS_LENGTH_4 -TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS_LENGTH
must be defined if TIGHTLISTDUMPCHARS is defined, otherwise it must be undefined.
NICENAMES Translates the variable names into nice easily read names.
ZERO_INTEGER Used to define zero, this value does not need to be set
CRAZY_MODE Only works if ZERO_INTEGER is left unset, it enables a bytecode savings for ZERO_INTEGER (which comes at the cost of speed).

#define TIGHTLISTTYPEDUMP
#define TIGHTLISTTYPEPARSE
#define TIGHTLISTTYPELENGTH
#define TIGHTLISTTYPEENTRYTYPE
#define TIGHTLISTDUMP
#define TIGHTLISTPARSE
#define NICENAMES
