creating a player configuration file with repurposed plugit

hebdemnobad · 28-Oct-2014 17:31:27

colleagues:

what would be necessary for getting the vm to load and save a plugit (or interface created with the os3d library) that is not in the sPLUGINSPATH?

what I am thinking of doing is having a client and editor live in the player folder, for the user to set player configuration options that could be saved to an .xos file between sessions of using the player. i.e. to affect player behavior according to benchmark, shader level, fps, max .pak size, etc.

the .xos could be loaded at startup, the fields of the .xos read into global variables in the player, and then unloaded before a scene is loaded or downloaded.

perhaps there is an easier way to do this, but it seems like a matter of a bit of code transplantation and adaption.

hmm not sure to understand
You want to make an editor in the player ?

Yes, for example

1. player starts up
2.a button in player , if pressed, calls an editor window. This window configures the player's options. I'm mostly thinking of performance related things. Like, don't download a .pak if it's bigger than 20 megabytes, or unload a project if the fps goes below a certain framerate, or if the computer doesn't reach a benchmark. Check boxes, float fields, sliders, things like that. Then when the user closes the editor window, the values in the window are saved to an .xos file. The next time at startup, the player loads the values from the .xml file into the player's variables, and then unloads the .xos file prior to loading a local .xos or .pak from the net.

You could only create this setting window and save the values in a playerconfig.xml
no need of xos for that.

I see. Ok...I'm going to learn how to write to an .xml file when the editor window is destroyed.

you have this exact behavior in the OS3D editor code

fun getConfigParam(type, pname)=
  let XMLgetMarkByValue xmlConfigFile "config" -> configmark in

  let XMLgetMarkByValueFromMarkSons typemark pname -> pmark in
    XMLgetParam pmark "value";;


fun setConfigParam(type, pname, val)=
  let XMLgetMarkByValue xmlConfigFile "config" -> configmark in
  let if configmark == nil then XMLaddMark xmlConfigFile "config" nil ["author" "OpenSpace3D editor configuration file"]::nil nil else configmark -> configmark in
  let XMLgetMarkByValueFromMarkSons configmark type -> typemark in
  let if typemark == nil then XMLaddMark xmlConfigFile type configmark nil nil else typemark -> typemark in  
  let XMLgetMarkByValueFromMarkSons typemark pname -> pmark in
  let if pmark == nil then XMLaddMark xmlConfigFile pname typemark nil nil else pmark -> pmark in
    XMLsetParam pmark "value" val;
  0;;

fun cbWinMainDestroy(winstr)=
