Streamlined the build process, including:
* Restructured the common directory
* Moved the client's scenes up one level
* Removed the unused DEBUG flag, added the GRAPHICS flag
* Moved the server's data structures to the common/gameplay directory
* Data structures are now shared by the client and server
Other changes include:
* Created the StatisticData structure
* Removed the server's static variables
* Some progress on basic combat system framework
* CharacterData now has methods (derived from the delete PlayerCharacter)
* Client-side tables are now shared between the scenes
* Refactored UDPNetworkUtility, tying it to SerialPacket
* Added new structures to SerialPacket, and serialization
* Renamed and rearranged the SQL tables
* Solved a few other TODO tags
* Updated the license headers
I've also stopped using a separate branch for sharing the CharacterData
structre. This commit won't build, mostly because I need to refactor
InWorld to handle the loss of the PlayerCharacter class.
I should probably rename SQL's tables too.
Using several branches never really works out well for me. I'm merging
these changes back into develop, because I want to undo the shared
parameters change, but that's tied up with something else. It's just
easier if I do this.
Moved the server's containers into the common directories, and removed the
server's static members.
This commit does build, but the next commit in 'dev-charshare' won't so
I'm merging this while I can.
Here are more tweaks:
* InWorld's quit event now exits to the main menu, bypassing a relayed disconnect message
* InWorld's disconnect hander no longer throws exceptions (dropped creation packet bugfix)
* CombatData's internals now point to std::pair objects
* Enemies are stored in a global list
Deleted in the merge:
* combat_management.cpp
* todo.txt
Amended in the merge:
* server/enemy_factory_interface.hpp
* server/server_application.hpp
* server/server_internals.cpp
That version of combat_management.cpp was not what I was looking for. I'll
try again, this time by working my way down from SerialPacket. It's worked
in the past as far as establishing a standard goes.
todo.txt was deleted in this commit, but will be carried over into the
next develop branch.
I'll release a new demo build without changing the version number, since
there are no functional changes.
This has been a long-running problem for days, but I've finally
implemented a correctly working hierarchy between the ClientData,
AccountData and CharacterData objects:
CharacterData -> AccountData -> ClientData
There doesn't seem to be any issues with it right now, touch wood.
* There seems to be something iffy with this branch
* The size of SerialPacket may have changed
I've implemented the accountIndex variable as best I can, but I really
shouldn't code at night. I'll need to go over the changes again before
merging this.
* Implemented user accounts.
* Other minor tweaks
I think the general "clientIndex" variable needs to be changed to
"accountIndex", since this will allow for much easier authentication.
To modify an existing user account, change the in memory copy and then
call the function SaveUserAccount(uid), where uid is the index of the
modified account. If the save function is not called immediately, then the
behaviour of the server is undefined.
