Beginnings of writing out misc file from editor #8

Open brickviking opened 4 years ago

I have a suggestion. If we can find a way of including doors, power_bay, transports and consoles (sprites) and writing these out to the .m after we run tedit_floor::save, we could integrate everything into ned, instead of having to write the levelname.m out manually.

I've got the beginnings of a tedit_floor::msave(), but I need help in setting it to rights. I'm sure there's something else wrong, but I lack the experience with the code to know what.

void tedit_floor::msave(void)
{
    FILE *mp;
    int x, y, i;
    char str[STR_LEN + 1];

    snprintf(str, STR_LEN, "%s.m", floor_relpath);
    printf("Saving misc: %s\n", str);
    mp = fopen(rel_to_abs_filepath(str), "w");
    if(mp == NULL)
        print_error(__func__, "fopen(map.m)");

    // So far, we need to convert orientation from 0/1 to h/v
    for (i=0;i<door_ptr;i++) {
        if (!fprintf(mp, "%s: %d %d %c\n", "door", door[door_ptr]->pos_x, door[door_ptr]->pos_y, door[door_ptr]->type==0 ? 'v' : 'h'))
          print_error(__func__, "fprintf(1)");
    }

    if (power_bay) {
        if (!fprintf(mp, "%s: %d %d %c\n", "power_bay", power_bay->pos_x, power_bay->pos_y))
              print_error(__func__, "fprintf(1)");
    }

    for (i=0;i<transport_ptr;i++) {
        if (!fprintf(mp, "%s: %d %d\n", "transport", sx, sy))
          print_error(__func__, "fprintf(1)");
    }

    if (console) {
        if (!fprintf(mp, "%s: %d %d\n", "console", sx, sy))
          print_error(__func__, "fprintf(1)");
      }

    // Still missing noise

    fclose(mp);
}

We'll still have to have a way of switching between tiles (which we have now) and sprites (doors, power_bays, transports, and consoles). I don't have a good solution to offer for this yet.

I looked into this, then discovered this was going to be a lot of work. The easiest/cleanest way to do it (and still would be a lot of work) is to abandon the tedit_floor.h class and make a tedit_ship.h class. This class would have access to all subordinate objects like doors, and power bays etc.
