Both sides of this message uses QUERY_CHARACTER_EXISTS because I'm just
trying to push forward, without worrying about mistakes I might be making.
I just want to merge this back into the main branch so I can say that I've
actually done something over the last few months.
I've also removed a large amount of commented and uncommented code from
in_world.cpp, simply because so much code was dummied out. I can readd
this code as I reimeplement various features.
* Fleshed out the ClientManager internals
* Folded some ServerApplication methods into ClientManager
* Removed Manager references from ServerApplication
* Corrected server_methods.cpp (compiles)
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 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.
