Modification Help / [Resource] Simple dungeon layout generator

« on: August 11, 2013, 01:20:23 AM »

This is a simple dungeon layout generator I wrote (only 207 LOC expanded) which creates simple arrangements of "rooms" as well as letting you place additional special rooms afterwards on leaf rooms. A special thing about it is that it doesn't take a width and height, rather dynamically expands from [0, 0]. It's also guaranteed to give you the requested number of rooms. Here's an example of using it:

==>$x = Dungeon();
==>$x.generate();
==>$x.visualize();
Visualizing Dungeon() with 15 rooms.
 R    
RR R  
 RRSR  
   R  
  RRRRR
==>$x.reset();
==>$x.generate(30,"end");
==>$x.visualize();
Visualizing Dungeon() with 30 rooms.

Modification Help / Datablock method inheritance is broken (New: Workaround in topic)

« on: June 29, 2013, 07:57:04 AM »

Code: [Select]

datablock PlayerData(Test1 : PlayerStandardArmor)
{
attribute1 = "hello";
attribute2 = "world";
};

function Test1::method1(%this)
{
echo("hello");
}

function Test1::method2(%this)
{
echo("world");
}

datablock PlayerData(Test2 : Test1)
{
attribute2 = "foo";
};

function Test2::method2(%this)
{
parent::method2(%this);
echo("foo");
}

I ran this code from `config/test.cs` on a Blockland installation with literally no Add-Ons (deleted all files including default in Add-Ons folder, bypassed launcher temporarily to prevent them from coming back), and this is the result.

==>echo(test2.attribute1);
hello
==>echo(test2.attribute2);
foo

Attribute inheritance and overwriting still works fine, however for functions, it doesn't work anymore.

==>test2.method1();
<input> (0): Unknown command method1.
  Object Test2(428) Test2 -> armor -> PlayerData -> ShapeBaseData -> GameBaseData -> SimDataBlock -> SimObject
==>test2.method2();
config/test.cs (24): Unknown command method2.
foo

Modification Help / Determining the length of an audio profile on a dedicated server

« on: June 27, 2013, 05:15:49 AM »

If the client part of the engine is loaded, you can use alxWaveLen(audioProfileName.fileName) to get it's length in MS.
This, however, does not work on dedicated servers, since the server does not try to parse the file and buffer it, only serve it to clients.

Is there a way to do do it, though?
