A resource might be a mesh, a texture, or any other piece of data - the key thing is that they must be identified by a name which is unique, must be loaded only once, must be managed efficiently in terms of retrieval, and they may also be unloadable to free memory up when they have not been used for a while and the memory budget is under stress. @par All Resource instances must be a member of a resource group; see ResourceGroupManager for full details. @par Subclasses must implement:
  1. A constructor, overriding the same parameters as the constructor defined by this class. Subclasses are not allowed to define constructors with other parameters; other settings must be settable through accessor methods before loading.
  2. The loadImpl() and unloadImpl() methods - mSize must be set after loadImpl()
  3. StringInterface ParamCommand and ParamDictionary setups in order to allow setting of core parameters (prior to load) through a generic interface.

This provides some problems, such as how to reload a Resource if it becomes unloaded for some reason, either because of memory constraints, or because a device fails and some or all of the data is lost. @par This interface should be implemented by all classes which wish to provide manual data to a resource. They provide a pointer to themselves when defining the resource (via the appropriate ResourceManager), and will be called when the Resource tries to load. They should implement the loadResource method such that the Resource is in the end set up exactly as if it had loaded from a file, although the implementations will likely differ between subclasses of Resource, which is why no generic algorithm can be stated here. @note The loader must remain valid for the entire life of the resource, so that if need be it can be called upon to re-load the resource at any time. */ class _OgreExport ManualResourceLoader { public: ManualResourceLoader() {} virtual ~ManualResourceLoader() {} /** Called when a resource wishes to load. @param resource The resource which wishes to load */ virtual void loadResource(Resource* resource) = 0; }; } #endif
