i'm still at beginning, have to make fully working BOT system then add players, so protecting/securing code phase will be at the end.

EDIT:

ToDo List:
let npc be aware of map.
AI + they should attack each other (not in real game)
data echange between maps (for players)

i meant to not let them make the string longer.

i dont use strings anywhere (except player name or some text in game) even npc name is an enum in server.
About changing string-names in client, first way to "protect" it, is using char[] but still... not enough.

EDIT:

so i assume theese are the most suitable containers for my needs.

std::vector<std::unique_ptr<entity::Actor>> m_npcs;
std::deque<std::unique_ptr<entity::Actor>> m_players;

std::vector = there is only static amount of npcs that respawns on death
std::deque = because player can change his/her map, so i need to delete in middle

now i understand.

Well, static things like Hitpoints,Shield,Wapons are in application/ram, and (as you said) stats will be in database (persistent)

i dont use any DB/File, intead i use computer memory:

databaseNPC, databaseMap: (example)

enum iType
{
        A = 0,
        B,
        C
}

struct iStruct
{
        int a;
        int b;
        int c;
}

static std::map<enum, const iStruct> m_db;

funcs:
static void initialize(); // to add all npcs .or. maps to db
static const iStruct get(const enum);
 

i use this for npcs & maps that's the reason of std::map

It's not "local" game, it's multiplayer, so maps are paused except map/s where is/are player/s.

I've already done this couple of minutes ago before i read your post :

managerMaps.cpp

Maps::Maps()
{
        m_maps.reserve(global::MAP::MapsAmount);
}

m_maps is a std::vector

but thanks .

Xornand: thanks it helped a lot.

And that std::vector, well i never used it because it reallocate everything when added something new but when i read your post then i reallized this in my mind : (f**k, i use only static amount of maps and npcs....., he's right)

General / Game Server Structure

« on: October 18, 2014, 11:04:06 am »

Hello, after long time  .

I want help because i've got problem with my game-server code structure (c++) VS2013.

#I'm getting quite pissed off when:
 - i want to let ent/npc get some data from map,
 - exchanging data between two maps

@ because the structure looks like this:

Main - calls funtion Server::run() to prepare an initialize enviroment.
   |
Server - everything what this does is controling FPS and calls MapMgr::update()
   |
MapMgr - there is std::map<enum, std::unique_ptr<Map>> to store maps & updates them.
   |
Map - std::deque<std::unique_ptr<EntActor>> storing npcs & in update() calling ptr -> update();
   |
EntActor - whole interface, move, goto, health, shield, speed .....

EntActor::update()
moves/rotates entity to specified location, or try attack any near player by data from Map.

and this whole system is one-way, should i make some sort of a global-message-bus ?
Please tell me if you have better idea .

# Problem begins when i want to port/move EntActor from map1 to map2.

And what if not? You quit with a nice error message?

it was morning and nothing else I could think of

You can also use the specs for auto-configuration of the program's settings.

very nice idea, like in "Call Of Duty" and many others .

Feature requests / System specs

« on: June 16, 2014, 05:58:43 am »

wouldn't it will be nice to have some commands
to get system specifications like amount of ram ?
in windows it is thru GetSysytemMetrics() [ i hope i am right ]

# it could look like this:

sf::System::Cpu::Amount();
sf::System::Cpu::Speed(); [in Hz]

sf::System::Ram::Size(); [in KB]
sf::System::Ram::Usage(); return Vector2u(used, left);

sf::System::Gpu::Size(); [in KB] // i'm not so sure about writing this on my own
 

point: check if game can run of that system, or other

You can also use the specs for auto-configuration of the program's settings.

if this will be accepted, then i can write code for windows.
