This is my solution for handling inheritance via lua. The Entity class is
only a base class, so the entity API is designed to be copied from, rather
than used directly.
linit.c: It should be noted that the Entity API must always be placed
before the utilizing child APIs. I don't know about how lua handles things
internally, but I'm assuming that this is the case.
There's no real meat in the API code yet, since that's just busy-work.
Right now I feel beter about writing the connective tissue. This case
could aslo extend to the waypoint and monster APIs.
The waypoint system had some API and class methods removed for brevity.
I actually don't remember what the RoomData's lua references where for,
but I'm pretty srue it wasn't this. I'll figure something out when I've
had a sleep.
This will allow the to be reused elsewhere, as well as cleaning up big
blocks of code in the manager's source.
BUGFIX: The config's key-value pair overrides now work without requiring a
config file specification.
* 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 APIs have access to the solid data, and I fixed a bug: Basically, the
template parameter for std::bitset expects an integer representing the
number of bits to hold, but I initially misread it as the number of bytes.
This has been corrected.
I've also added a sandy beach to the generated island. I'm tempted to
start working on some simple generators soon.
region_api.cpp had a bug, where a glue function's name was used twice. It
was an easy catch, but there was an issue in the new script, where I was
counting from 0 instead of 1. As a result, I was chasing a segfault for 5
hours.
There is some missing character creation/unloading code, and there are a
few other issues highlighted by TODO tags, see below.
In general, 'mapIndex' has been renamed to 'roomIndex'. Multiple rooms
have not been fully implemented yet, but I'm working on it.
Other issues:
* FileFormat needs to be changed to MapLoader
* Server's character movement is still slaved to the clients
The client does not build.
I've replaced the BBox class with a pair of inline functions in
check_bounds.hpp. I've also renamed the 'position' variable to 'origin' in
several locations.
These changes are mostly to alleviate ambiguity.
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.
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.
