I went ahead and used SFML's sf::Uints for file I/O. From what I can see it's just the common typedefing such as
typedef unsigned char uint8
When trying to read and write however, I'm not getting
sf::Uint8[4]
to properly get stored within
sf::Uint32
Files are reading completely wrong, and my ide is giving warnings about me shifting wrong.
sf::Uint32 MapFileHandler::Read32()
{
if(inFile.is_open())
{
sf::Uint8 bytes[4];
sf::Uint32 value;
inFile.read(reinterpret_cast<char *>(bytes),4);
value = bytes[0] | (bytes[1] << 8) | (bytes[2] << 16) | (bytes[3] << 32);
return value;
}
}
void MapFileHandler::Write32(sf::Uint32 & u32)
{
if(outFile.is_open())
{
sf::Uint8 bytes[4];
bytes[0] = u32 & 0xFF;
bytes[1] = (u32 >> 8) & 0xFF;
bytes[2] = (u32 >> 16) & 0xFF;
bytes[3] = (u32 >> 32) & 0xFF;
outFile.write(reinterpret_cast<char *>(bytes),4);
}
}
I'm not very good with handling bits themselves and haven't used these types a whole lot in the past.
