Coordinates are supposed to be stored by their x & y, but the sizes of the
tile sheets were getting mixed in as well. When trying to store a region
at (0, 20), it was being stored at (0, 260).
Another visual bug inside the tile sheet's rendering function masked this
issue until now.
Another thing to note is that I've removed an incredibly complex system
for updating the client's map. The new system may seem complex at first,
but it is straight forward compared to what it replaced.
I've also fixed a few logarithmic lagging points in the code.
It seems that the serialization code has a bug in it. I was expecting
something like this. When the server tries to send the region content, it
exits. I'll try and find the cause of the error, but I'm committing my
changes anyway.
The region's width, height and depth are all defined by preprocessor
macros. The rest of the map system has been updated to match. The
programs proper need to be updated as well. It would be a good idea to
include the macros' values as part of the initial communication protocols,
so that the clients don't connect to a server that is using the wrong
sized regions.
This algorithm is designed to find the distance of a certain region,
however it may have been better to do a quick check, rather than worrying
how many regions were loaded at once.
I've also added in some debug code to the map classes, because I was
hunting down a std::bad_alloc beingthrown. Turns out I forgot to set the
map sizes in the client's InWorld constructor. I'm committing the fix, and
the debug code.
This is a pretty straight forward port of the old version, including the
incredibly hacky server list. But I just need to remember that this is a
prototype.
lsqlite3.c looked like a good idea for connnecting SQL and lua, but I
couldn't get it to work and rather than struggle on this, I'll write my
own library later on.
I've created a project for client & editor programs, by simply copying one
to the other. Right now, the client still has the editor scene, but I'll
switch that out soon.
I've also added a license header to the server's source. I don't remember
what else I did, but at this point it should theoretically build out of
the box.
