Eent-files for external map entities #612

Closed keyten closed 9 years ago

keyten commented 9 years ago

Load entities from mapentities/mapname.eent in addition to loading them from the .bsp file.

Like in the redsaurus SP Customization Mod: http://jkhub.org/topic/2480-sp-customisation-stuff/?p=75158

Was this originally taken from rtcwcoop ? They have eents files support too. But its GPLv3.

Seems like a neat feature to have. It should be easy enough to add without source code tbh so licensing issues aren't a problem.

I just was clarifying if that was where red took it from or not.

Yes its easy, I did it years ago and as have some other older mods.

Could probably also extend Icarus to spawn entities maybe as well.

Was from scratch https://github.com/redsaurus/OpenJK/commit/8cc21f9761cb6a2b0502ea6ce4db35f6fd541d6c

How's this looking for MP?

+ added free(file buffer)

Not tested. (Not in patch: level.mapname, level.rawmapname added)

I've merged something similar to this in #674. The engine will now load a .ent file for the map - if one exists - instead of the BSP's entities. Allowing the entire list of entities to be overriden allows addition and removal of BSP entities and their properties, as opposed to only the addition of entities covered in this issue.

Mods are still free to implement their own entity loading systems in gamecode.
