OK, so I think I was working on the parameters for CreateRoom() in lua,
but then shit just got ot of control. IDK, I'm probably going about this
all wrong anyway. I just want to finish this stage, and reach the high
water mark again.
The calls to ConfigUtility::Load() also received some tweaks, to use '/'
instead of '\' for unix compatability. Also removed -llua from graphics
makefile.
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.
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.
I've also adjusted the TODO file, which really shouldn't be committed.
Still, it's there now, so it stays. I don't think the logger is going to
be possible any time soon, so I'll probably look into the disconnection
handler.
If you have "config.next" set, the config system will load that as another
config file. Higher config files have a higher precedence over subfiles
when conflicting keys are encountered.
* Added singleton.hpp, containing Singleton<T>
* ConfigUtility now inherits from Singleton
* Tweaked timer.*pp layouts
Project compiles and runs, multiplayer works, but the map is not visible
There are a number of major changes to the map system, beth directly from the
jam branch and from the splicing process. The changes that are listed here have
been noted as they were added to the index for committing.
* tile_sheet.*pp moved from 'common/graphics/' to 'common/map/'
* Minor method and member name changes to TileSheet
* TileSheet has a lua API, but it isn't used anywhere
NOTE: Nothing uses both lua and graphics, but a theoretical editor might
* Region API's glue functions have been changed from triggers to simple dummy
methods. These should simply be over written.
* RegionPagerBase::GetRegion(int x, int y) now snaps it's parameters
Presicely why is unknown, but I do remember there was a bug without it
* RegionPagerLua has been rewritten to use the Region API's methods, rather
than the triggers.
* RegionPagerLua no longer stores the map's save directory, or passes it to the
the Region API's methods.
* RegionPagerLua::luaState renamed to RegionPagerLua::lua
conforms to changes elsewhere
* Removed the directory glue functions from the RegionPager API
* region_pager_api.hpp preprocessor guard changed
* Adjusted makefiles to account for TileSheet's movement
