Moved rScript source files into the Mud Engine.Scripting files. Planning on removing the reference to rScript.dll and keep everything within the MudEngine.
- Added FileManager.GetDataSpan() method. This allows developers to start at a line and collect the next 'x' number of lines after that starting line.
Example: GetDataSpan("MyFile.txt", 5, "DoorwayArrivalRoom", true);
This seeks MyFile.txt until it finds "DoorwayArrivalRoom" and then it stores that line and the next 4 lines for a total of 5 lines and returns the collection.
The last argument 'true' means that the method will scan the rest of the file after the initial 5 lines and add any other lines that match the "DoorwayArrivalRoom" string as well.
- Deleted CommandResults class as it's no longer used by the script engine.
- Singleplayer and Multiplayer save data paths are now the same paths by default.
- Game.Update() method now checks for auto-saving (instead of MudGame performing this check)
- Saving and restoring of Realms, Zones, Rooms and Doorways now fully implemented.
- GameTime now supports auto-saving
- GameWorld.Update() now calls BaseCharacter.Update() and is ready for future update code.
- GameWorld.AddObject and GameWorld.RemoveObject() have been removed.
- GameWorld.AddRealm() re-added for adding Realms pre-populated with zones/rooms. Note that Zones and Rooms can be added to a Realm even after it has been added to the GameWorld.RealmCollection
- BaseObject now contains a OnStart() event method.
- BaseObject.Save() now saves BaseObject.DetailedDescription collection content.
- Updated BaseCharacter to retrieve Environments by Filename rather than Object name.
- BaseStats.Experience property added.
- Door.RoomTravelType enum added for determining if the room is Arrival or Departure
- Door.SetRoom() method added for restoring a Rooms Doorway link during world restoration.
- Renamed Room.InstallPath to Room.RoomLocation. Contains a MyRealm.Realm>MyZone.Zone>MyRoom.Room path
- Added Room.RoomLocationWithoutExtension property for returning the Rooms location without file extensions. Ex: MyRealm>MyZone>MyRoom
- Room now saves Doorways.
- The GameWorld now restores the link between Rooms once all Environment objects have been instanced and restored from their saved state.
MudGame:
- Minor clean-up with MudGame loop and shutdown.
- Updated scripts to reflect changes made to the engine.
- Deleted BaseAI as AI will be built into BaseCharacter and enabled/disabled via the already existing IsControlled property.
- Added BaseStats class which will manage all of the stats used by characters. It was decided this should be a separate class that players can extend off of and change how stats are handled in their games without having to re-write large chunks of player code.
- Began adding better commenting through-out the project. CommandExit.cs, CommandGetTime.cs have been given much better commenting. These will ultimately be converted to Scripts for developers to modify.
