Compiled File's Explanation List

[Logicol]

Introduction

Eh, following after mootie's footsteps in bettering the community, I'm going to post a compilation of what each file is used for in terms of basic knowledge for the source folder. This will basically state what each file is used for (in terms of upgrading success, formulas, incorporation of certain modifications, etc). If you need to find something in particular, we'll see if we can find the file to help you.

---

Process of Knowledge

I'm thinking of doing something where users just post what each file is used for below, and I'll organize the list here, in the thread. I'll describe the file name, the extension, the usage of the file, and the incorporation of this file through other files. I'll basically describe what each file is used for, and what we need to do to make it work with the rest of the files.

* If you have a file that you're knowledgeable of, such as "ItemContainer.h" or resource files, leave a comment describing it.

File Format

File: ItemContainer.h
Usage: Helps manage the usage of items in-game, and is used with most weapon upgrading systems, Baruna etc. This is an extremely useful file found in the source.

File List

.. awaiting replies. ♥

So...i want to know where are the files which manage the taskbar and the navigator

 

[MisterKid]

Just no. :S

 

[Deviant]

So...i want to know where are the files which manage the taskbar and the navigator

the taskbar is released, we know its incomplete but you can take a look for alittle of codes

for navigator WndField.cpp

 

[Logicol]

Just no. :S

Good response, your contribution is beyond reasonable understanding.

 

[Mootie]

File: ItemContainer.h

You must be registered to see links

Anyways, this will be useful. Perhaps start a doxygen page or something for code documentation.

You love me though. I'll see what I can do about doxygen and if you have any files you'd like to contribute, feel free. Your knowledge on these type of things are typically unlimited.

"Eh, following after mootie's footsteps in bettering the community" and "Thad Recycle Bin". I also have to say no. Unless you want to write out every file in the source wich will take you some weeks. I like your spirit, but no, that is simply not how it works. Surely not by following mootie's footsteps, wich he can tell yu all about... hehe.

Good day,
Worf.

I've had quite enough of you. I've reported you to both Adler and Dragon. Good day, sir.

Rome was not built in a day, nor was Flyff. Documentation takes time, but is almost essential to help new developers understand the source code(even experienced C++ developers will learn it much faster with proper documentation).

I like your spirit, but no, that is simply not how it works.

Uh no, that is how it works. You don't just jump into code and modify it. That will lead to much more issues than if you've spent time to understand it. Documentation makes it much faster to understand the source.

Also note that Flyff's code was not designed to be modular, which means almost any code modify object. This makes it much harder to write bug-free code.

Surely not by following mootie's footsteps, wich he can tell yu all about... hehe.

What? Making over 95% of the code improvements to the most successful and bug-free Flyff private server yet? Sure, I've made mistakes in both code and in my decisions. I'm guessing you're referring to my decisions, since you wouldn't be able to point out the simplest flaw in code. However, my decisions are irrelevant to this thread or bettering the community. Stop trolling and learn to do something productive with your life.

 

[MisterKid]

There are a lot of important files depending on what the developer is going to do.
If I'm working to change the attack calculations then I be looking around AttackArbitter.cpp(Something like that If I recall) then that is an importand file. You can't rate them.

Listing some files can be good but won't really matter that much.
Why don't you document everything? Every function of importand files ?
That will be a lot of work tough.

 

[Langstra]

Documentation is one of the most important things to become a good coder. Without it you could even drown in your own code, which (yes which worf, not wich) is undesireable.

 

[Kyota]

I saw this in iflyff source release and woke up my curiosity
Where is located the automatic notices that appears in chat after a time playing
//Edit
Is in Event.lua
Thx to MisterKid

 

[Logicol]

Updated. Keep the information coming fellas! I'll do a little additional investigation of my own when I'm done with finals week. Keep submitting knowledge, and we'll have a nice list to utilize. We need your help!

 

[Kyota]

WndField.cpp manage all the windows or at least the most of it
Event.lua also manages the events too

 

[Logicol]

I know people know about the files, and their usage. If you want to help advance this section, partake in this. It's worth it, I promise you.

Thank you for the contribution. I'll update the thread when I'm on my laptop later today.
