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.
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.
The only different between this commit and the currently stable branch is the
serialization code and a slight tweak to the server's startup sequence. I tried
to refactor the server, by moving the clientMap and playerMap into their own
wrapper classes, but that failed miserably. I need to stop getting so worked up
all the time, I've wasted way too much time already.
Conflicts:
server/server_application.cpp (resolved)
After completing the serialization code, I'm merging it into the server's
development branch. This means that although the connection and
disconnection functionality work, I still need to test the player systems
from the new server with the new serialization code.
Immediately following this commit, I'll be merging the minor tweaks to the
editor from the master branch into this one.
I've dummied out the player code, so only the client connection code is
working. Otherwise the protocol hasn't changed.
I've also made a few other tweaks as I went along, but nothing really
major.
Remember: anything with "manager" in its name organizes a number of other
objects, as far as I'm concerned.
I'll eventually have a database connection in the PlayerManager class;
this'll make it easier to manage the database.
Even though some parts of the new map system are a stub, I feel confident
enough to merge this branch back onto the stable branch.
On the whole, I've reduced the complexity of the system, while also allowing
acceptable restrictions.
The RegionPager class works correctly. The Update() member is empty, but it's
still usable.
I've removed TileSheetManager, so the maps can only have one tileset each;
that's fine.
The tiles are voxel integers.
The editor needs an entire overhaul. I think some of the GUI components
are too complex. The sooner I can implement the map in the main
client/server system the better.
* 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.
