* Fleshed out the ClientManager internals
* Folded some ServerApplication methods into ClientManager
* Removed Manager references from ServerApplication
* Corrected server_methods.cpp (compiles)
The calls to ConfigUtility::Load() also received some tweaks, to use '/'
instead of '\' for unix compatability. Also removed -llua from graphics
makefile.
This merge covers mostly back-end refactoring, including splitting
Character into Renderable and BaseCharacter, as well as creating the
manager interface.
This branch splits Character into two classes:
* Renderable
* BaseCharacter
While also adding these two empty classes:
* LocalCharacter
* BaseMonster
This split is not used in any major way, due to implementation issues encountered in a later version of this branch. Before I can implement monsters and local/foreign characters, the types of network packets need to be expanded in yet another branch.
It also renames CleanUp to DisconnectedScreen, and simplifies it's implementation.
Project also builds, since I went through and adjusted it. It's hacky
right now, but I just want to make sure it worked. I'll give it another
pass before merging into develop.
ManagerInterface was already designed for those two anyway. The only thing
left to do is to rewrite the room API, and the whole thing should work
fine again.
I still think map data should be saved and loaded by lua code, so the
rooms will still implement lua hooks. There may be other things that can
be loaded from SQL, but I don't know what.
ManagerInterface is a server-side pure abstract class; all of it's methods
are defined as pure virtual methods, and as such should be defined in the
derived classes. It works correctly along side the Singleton class, but
does not implement it directly as originally planned. It should also
support variadic parameters, which still need testing.
I've implemented ManagerInterface in RoomManager, but I've also disabled a
number of the RoomManager's features, including the lua interface. The
project as a whole should build, but it won't run correctly. The variadic
parameters will be tested using the other managers.
It feels good just playing around instead of pushing forward all the time.
I'm salvaging the changes to AccountManager and CharacterManager that
don't break the build too badly. This won't build, but it'll be easier to
rectify.
Also, I've reduced the length of the manager's method names, and renamed
sql_utility.*pp to sql_tools.*pp
