This PR prepares the Dark Squirrel Scripts repository for the upcoming v1.0 release by cleaning up lingering debug print statements that are not necessary for production use.

Overview

The codebase contained 251 print statements across the main script files, many of which were debug/development artifacts that should not be present in a release version. This cleanup removes unnecessary debug output while preserving legitimate user feedback and error messages.

Changes Made

Removed 202 debug print statements (80% reduction) from:

  • DScript_ModdingTools.nut: 18 debug prints removed
  • DScript Core.nut: 20 debug prints removed
  • DScript File&Blob.nut: 11 debug prints removed
  • DScript SFX.nut: 10 debug prints removed
  • DScript.nut: 5 debug prints removed
  • DSEditorScripts.nut: 4 debug prints removed
  • DScript General.nut: 1 debug print removed

Types of prints removed:

  • Commented debug prints (//print(...))
  • Development test output (print("debug info"))
  • Debug blocks with conditional prints for development
  • Test function output and debugging statements
  • Performance test output prints

Preserved 49 legitimate prints:

  • Error messages and warnings for users
  • Import/export progress feedback
  • Legitimate functional output messages
  • Conditional debug prints controlled by DPrint() function

Example Cleanup

Before:

//DEBUG print("destroy:  "+data[2]+"   "+Object.Destroy(data[2].tointeger()))
print("Speed is" + speed)
print("CREATED " + self)

After:

// Debug prints removed, clean code remains

While preserving important user messages:

print("DScript: AI "+t+" has script slot 4 in use "+i+" - can't add DNotSuspAI script.")

Testing

No functional changes were made - only debug output was removed. All legitimate error messages, warnings, and user feedback remain intact. The scripts maintain full functionality while providing a cleaner, more professional output suitable for release.

This cleanup ensures the v1.0 release will have clean console output focused on essential information for end users rather than development debugging artifacts.
