Crome has a powerful scripting language. There are many functions you can call to do things. It would be good to document them here.

3/5/04 see below for additional information - Lego

Java Functions

Variable Use for How to create Note
Array when you need more then one value
new array(x,y) x and y are the values
Var When you need 1 variable
var test test is the new variable
select() Use when you want the user to select your options usage: select (sPrompt, sVar); Use a pipe for sVar
input() Use when you need input from a user usage: input(sPromt,sVar,sArray) sVar:"'no1','no2'; sSrray(1,2) the values for no1, no2; Return a string with commas
string.spilt(',') Split a string in a array   String is split at ','
isNaN(string) Java function to check if the string is numric  
Alert('str'); Shows a msg box with the msg: str  

Crome Functions

Function What does it do? Explain Variables Notes
_rom_write(start, v, count) Write an array of bytes to the rom file start:Startadrress; v:array; count: Needed most of the time to write something to the rom
_rom_fill(fromAdr, toAdr, byteFill) Write any area of the rom with the same bytes fromAdr:Where to start; toAdr:Where to stop; byteFill:Which byte(if left empty 0x00 is assumed Usefull when you need to put NOP a locations
refresh() Refersh the rom to seen new values    
rom.gup() Group Unupdate   When your script changes a lot of values use this so you can undo
rom.byteAt(0xFF) point to a location in the rom(1 byte) (0xFF) is the location
rom.wordAt(0xFFFF) point to a location in the rom(1 word) (0xFFFF) is the location
rom.hasLaunchControl Tells Crome the bin has FTL Set to 1 for FTL
rom.hasFullThrottleShift Tells Crome the bin has FTS Set to 1 for FTS
rom.hasBoost Tells Crome the bin has Boost Set to 1 for 1bar\2 for 3bar
rom.addressOf('') Tells Crome Where something is   Works for tables\scalers\rev limits\
rom.title Tells Crome the title of the bin needs to be string
rom.type Tells Crome the type of the bin rp30/rp72/rp28/rpCustom
addPlugin (strAuthor, strCaption, strExecCall, strInfoCall, intCategory); Add a plugin in Crome   read it in Crome
addRomHandler (ecuType, strAuthor, strHandlerCall Add a rom handler in Crome   read it in Crome
eval('0x' + Dec To Hex?(dec_value) convert a decimal value to hex 0xab   dev_value exmaple 125

CROME JAVASCRIPT API

These javascript objects and their members are accessible directly through CROME scripts. If you plan to write an html based plugin, these objects are accessible through the 'window.external' call.

Here are some example:

To access the window object in CROME scripts, you can use window.MEMBER or simply call the MEMBER directly. eg. window.refresh() = refresh(). To access the window object in an html plugin you have to use: window.external.window.refresh() or window.external.refresh().

The rom object is a member of the window object so to access a member of the rom object you can use window.rom.MEMBER or rom.MEMBER in CROME scripts and window.external.window.rom.MEMBER or window.external.rom.MEMBER in html plugins.

Any other javascript objects, methods, properties are still accessible, but I will not comment on them since there are websites/books that can do a better job than me.

Any other confusions contact me @ [email protected] and make the subject 'crome script api'.
