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.
You can set the file to read as the config file via the command line, like
this, assuming the program supports it:
prog -config=file.cfg
You can also override indevidual key-value pairs in the config system
using this syntax:
prog -Ckey=value
Both commands can be used together, and you can override multiple
key-value pairs at once. To use this feature of the ConfigUtility, it must
receive argc and argv as parameters to the Load() method.
I started encapsulating ClientData, and I added the internals for the
heartbeat ssytem. However, when I took a look inside UDPNetworkUtility, I
realized that I didn't have to pass the IPaddresses by reference anymore.
Therefore, I've changed it to accept the addresses by value, and I'm
committing that change right away before I finish the heartbeat system.
This engine is really shaping up, I think.
* Manual modifications to the database caused the map to act unusual
* The server's packet must be created and deleted as a char array
* removed UnloadAll() from several singleton destructors
* added SDL_Delay() to BaseScene::RenderFrame(), to reduce heavy CPU use in menus
The server's changes were easy. The clients means that the constructors
for each scene have one less argument, and each scene has one less member.
The exception to this is LobbyMenu, where the config is used in multiple
places, so it was easier to have the config's reference as a member.
To replace the config's usage, I added this line in most cases:
ConfigUtility& config = ConfigUtility::GetSingleton();
The only requirement is that ConfigUtility::Create() and
ConfigUtility::Delete() are called from the main() function.
The changes were fairly easy, and I was actually able to find and fix an
out-of-sequence bug: The destructors for the AccountManager and the
CharacterManager were using SQL code after the call to SQLite3_close_v2(),
so I added and called UnloadAll() for both of them.
This required that I switch from using a char array for the packet buffers
to using malloc() and free(). They make more sense anyway, and I've
learned (or relearned) something about casting.
