- Game World Auto-save property now fully implemented. However, the Game world saving mechanics are not fully implemented. As additional components are implemented, they will be auto-saved if the property is set to true.
- Game.AutoSaveInterval property added for setting how often the Game will save all objects in the world (incase run-time changes to environments/objects were made, they must be saved).
- Player walk command now supports Game.AutoSave. Every-time the player changes location they will be saved.
- ScriptEngine now supports Initializing both Assembly and Source based scripts at the same time via the new ScriptTypes.Both element.
- ScriptEngine now auto-loads previously saved settings from Settings.ini
- Game.ObjectIdentifierCollection renamed to Game.WorldObjects. Type collection changed from that of Int32 to BaseObject.
- Game.update now contains the code needed to update the World Time and Auto-Save the world if needed.
- Game.AddObject method added for adding World Objects to the Game.WorldObjects collection
- Player login now creates the directories needed if they don't exist.
- Added Update method that serves as the game loop now.
- Added additional save code to Game.Save() now saves all realms, zones, rooms and players. Called during server shutdown (Game.Shutdown())
- Began work on implementing a Unique Identifier system for all game objects.
- Renamed GetRealm() and GetZone() to GetRealmByID() and GetZoneByID. Now accepts a Int32 instead of a string as the parameter, returning a reference to the object.
- Added GetRealmByName() and GetZoneByName(). Similar to the old GetRealm and GetZone methods. Accepts a string as a parameter, however it returns a list<> collection of the found objects due to objects with duplicate names are allowed to co-exist in the game world.
- Temp directory that was being generated during server startup within Game.Start() is now deleted once script compilation is completed.
- Added GameTime.cs; contains all the properties and methods needed to have a working time system built into the engine for the game world. Not fully complete.
- Added CommandGetTime.cs which prints the current date and time to the players console. Prints the GameTime.DayNames and GameTime.MonthNames to the player. Defaults to real-world names, however these can be configured and changed, along with the number of days per week, weeks per month, months per year, seconds per minute, minutes per hour and hours per day.
MudGame:
- Now supports Game.AutoSave. If AutoSave is true, then the server loop will call Game.Save() automatically.
- Server Game Loop now calls Game.Update() every loop cycle.
Run the Game once, then edit the Settings.ini file generated to enable or disable the network server. Setting ServerEnabled to False will enable the Singleplayer offline mode within the engine.
