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.
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.
I've added lua hooks for both pager functor classes. Hopefully, I haven't
missed any corner cases, because it took me a while to hunt everything
down. One issue is that the map's save directory needs to be set in the
Format class, but it'll do for now. I'll review this again when I've got
more than one map running at one time.
There should be enough here for a lua-driven map generator to be
implemented, even if it's a bit rough. I think I'll test this out in the
editor eventually, but getting the base branch's network map code going
comes first.
The current process is extremely convulted, so I need to document
everything that I've done so far, including C++ and lua functions.
* Fixed Region::GetX() and Region::GetY()
* Replaced calls to std::find_if with regular for loops
* Changed typing of RegionPager::regionList
** regionList now holds pointers rather than the objects themselves
* Added vestigial classes MapFileFormat and MapGenerator
** MapGenerator creates and destroys the region objects
* I'm leaving in the debugging code for now
** This includes trace statements and a basterdized main() function in
/editor/main.cpp
I've also made the base class abstract, and the derived class a template.
Hopefully this'll let me work on different parts of the class without
major issues.
This code compiles, but since it's incomplete, I can't test it properly.
