Better Loading Screen Handling

[pacas00]

Need to handle loading better,

Currently, we block everything including UI updates.

Proposed new handling,

Postfix on someones .ctor

• Setup vars we need
• Make sure we are ready to run our own update method

Prefix on someones UnityUpdate()

• If we are not running, start up and return
• If we are running return until we are ready
• If we are ready, stop returning.

Our Update Method

• Needs to update the UI
• Or at the least, not block

New Plan,

Prefix ModManager.HandleActivation

if (WorldLoadState.State != WorldLoadStateEnum.LoadModUnityData) leave prefix

if (WorldLoadState.State == WorldLoadStateEnum.LoadModUnityData) then

Check if we are ready, if not, call our own update method for loading and return If we are ready, then leave prefix allowing normal execution

Prefix LoadingControl.Update

if (WorldLoadState.State != WorldLoadStateEnum.LoadModUnityData) leave prefix

if (WorldLoadState.State == WorldLoadStateEnum.LoadModUnityData) then

• if we are ready, leave prefix
• Set our loading text string as needed

this.LoadingLabel.text = PersistentSettings.GetString("Game_Loading") + "[" + text + "]";

Thinking about this, We cannot patch a method we are running.

Not happening any time soon.

Closing this until i think of another way to do this.

Can't set it up as one of those; "Must restart program to apply setting change," options you see in plenty of other programs, games, etc?
