Detailed Description

Creates command line that launches the client executable of the game and connects it to a server.

Basing on some input parameters object of this class fills out CommandLineInfo objects that can be used to launch games and connect them to game servers. GameClientRunner is connected to a Server object from which it originates and requires for that object to be valid.

Method of command line arguments generation can be customized either partially by replacing one of the virtual methods or fully by replacing createCommandLineArguments() method. In latter case it's entirely up to the plugin to fill out everything either by calling already defined protected methods or by filling out the CommandLineInfo struct on its own.

Member Function Documentation

void GameClientRunner::addConnectCommand ( )

protected

[Virtual] Adds connection arguments to the list.

This is argForConnect() followed by server "ip:port".

void GameClientRunner::addCustomParameters ( )

protected

Adds custom parameters defined by user in configuration box to the args list.

Custom parameters are specified as a single string by the user, but they're split to separate arguments in a manner appropriate to given OS.

Definition at line 189 of file gameclientrunner.cpp.

void GameClientRunner::addDemoRecordCommand ( )

protected

Adds command for demo recording.

This is argForDemoRecord() followed by demoName().

Warning: This method doesn't check whether the demo name is empty and attempts to add the arguments anyway.

Definition at line 197 of file gameclientrunner.cpp.

void GameClientRunner::addExtra ( )

protected

[Virtual] Plugins can easily add plugin-specific arguments here.

This method is called at the end of "add stuff" chain in createCommandLineArguments().

void GameClientRunner::addGamePaths ( )

protected

[Virtual] Sets working directory and path to executable in out put CommandLineInfo.

void GameClientRunner::addInGamePassword ( )

protected

[Virtual] Adds in-game password to the args list.

Adds argForInGamePassword() followed by inGamePassword().

Warning: This method doesn't check whether the password is empty and attempts to add the arguments anyway.

void GameClientRunner::addIwad ( )

protected

[Virtual] Plugins can replace IWAD discovery mechanism and generation of relevant executable parameters here.

This method supports WAD aliasing configured in Doomseeker.

void GameClientRunner::addModFiles ( const QStringList & files )

protected

Adds path to each game modification file to the args list.

This function is called by addPwads(). Plugins can override this function to implement specific loading behavior for each file. For example, some files might need a different loading pattern or some files might need to be sorted or some might need to be blacklisted.

Default behavior understands .deh and .bex extensions and will apply argForDehLoading() and argForBexLoading() respectively. Other files are loaded with argForPwadLoading(). Each file is prefixed with its respective loading argument. There's an alternative behavior that is unused by default but ready for use by plugins in form of addModFiles_prefixOnce() method.

Parameters

files Paths to found files.

void GameClientRunner::addModFiles_prefixOnce ( const QStringList & files )

protected

addModFiles() implementation that sorts files by extension and uses loading prefix arg only once for each extension type.

addModFiles_default() will prefix each file with loading argument like this:

-deh d1.deh -file w1.wad -file p1.pk3 -deh d2.deh -file w2.wad

addModFiles_prefixOnce will produce arguments line like this:

-deh d1.deh d2.deh -file w1.wad p1.pk3 w2.wad

As shown in the example, extension sorting only applies as far as splitting the files into separate loading groups. Sorting of files withing each group is stable. This stable sorting is important as file load order matters within the game!

This method is not used by Doomseeker itself. Plugins may utilize it by setting it with set_addModFiles() method.

Definition at line 327 of file gameclientrunner.cpp.

void GameClientRunner::addPassword ( )

protected

[Virtual] Adds connect password to the args list.

This is argForConnectPassword() followed by connectPassword().

Warning: This method doesn't check whether the password is empty and attempts to add the arguments anyway.

void GameClientRunner::addPwads ( )

protected

Finds and adds each game modification file to the args list, marks missing files.

Properly found files are added to the args list. Each file path is prepended with argForDehLoading(), argForBexLoading() or argForPwadLoading() argument.

Not found files are marked as such with markPwadAsMissing() method.

Paths to found files are forwarded to addModFiles() where they are actually added to the args() list.

This method supports WAD/file aliasing configured in Doomseeker.

Definition at line 298 of file gameclientrunner.cpp.

void GameClientRunner::addWads ( )

protected

Calls addIwad() then addPwads(), sets JoinError::MissingWads in case of failure.

protected

Command line parameter that specifies the target server's IP and port.

Default: "-connect".

Definition at line 368 of file gameclientrunner.cpp.

const QString & GameClientRunner::argForConnectPassword ( ) const

protected

Command line parameter that is used to specify connection password.

There is no common value here so the default behavior returns a "null" string.

Definition at line 373 of file gameclientrunner.cpp.

const QString & GameClientRunner::argForDehLoading ( ) const

protected

Command line parameter that is used to load a DEHACKED file.

Default: "-deh".

Default: "-record";

Definition at line 408 of file gameclientrunner.cpp.

const QString & GameClientRunner::argForInGamePassword ( ) const

protected

Command line parameter that is used to specify in-game ("join") password.

There is no common value here so the default behavior returns a "null" string.

Definition at line 383 of file gameclientrunner.cpp.

const QString & GameClientRunner::argForIwadLoading ( ) const

protected

Command line parameter that is used to set IWAD.

Default: "-iwad".

Definition at line 418 of file gameclientrunner.cpp.

void GameClientRunner::createCommandLineArguments ( )

protected

[Virtual] Spawns entire command line for client executable launch.

Default behavior splits the call between various "add*" methods. Plugins can customize behavior by either overwriting these "add*" methods that are virtual, or by overwriting this method and either writing the generation process from scratch or reusing the "add*" methods where applicable.

JoinError GameClientRunner::createJoinCommandLine	(	CommandLineInfo &	cli,
