Detailed Description

Abstract class defining the interface used by classes which wish to perform script loading to define instances of whatever they manage.

Remarks:: Typically classes of this type wish to either parse individual script files on demand, or be called with a group of files matching a certain pattern at the appropriate time. Normally this will coincide with resource loading, although the script use does not necessarily have to be a ResourceManager (which subclasses from this class), it may be simply a script loader which manages non-resources but needs to be synchronised at the same loading points.

: Subclasses should add themselves to the ResourceGroupManager as a script loader if they wish to be called at the point a resource group is loaded, at which point the parseScript method will be called with each file which matches a the pattern returned from getScriptPatterns.

Member Function Documentation

virtual Real Ogre::ScriptLoader::getLoadingOrder ( void ) const [pure virtual]

Gets the relative loading order of scripts of this type.

Remarks:
There are dependencies between some kinds of scripts, and to enforce this all implementors of this interface must define a loading order.

Returns:
A value representing the relative loading order of these scripts compared to other script users, where higher values load later.

Implemented in Ogre::OverlayManager, Ogre::ParticleSystemManager, Ogre::ResourceManager, and Ogre::Quake3ShaderManager.

virtual const StringVector& Ogre::ScriptLoader::getScriptPatterns ( void ) const [pure virtual]

Gets the file patterns which should be used to find scripts for this class.

Remarks:
This method is called when a resource group is loaded if you use ResourceGroupManager::_registerScriptLoader.

Returns:
A list of file patterns, in the order they should be searched in.

Implemented in Ogre::OverlayManager, Ogre::ParticleSystemManager, Ogre::ResourceManager, and Ogre::Quake3ShaderManager.

virtual void Ogre::ScriptLoader::parseScript ( DataStreamPtr & stream,

const String & groupName

) [pure virtual]

Parse a script file.

Parameters:

stream Weak reference to a data stream which is the source of the script

groupName The name of a resource group which should be used if any resources are created during the parse of this script.

Implemented in Ogre::FontManager, Ogre::MaterialManager, Ogre::OverlayManager, Ogre::ParticleSystemManager, Ogre::ResourceManager, and Ogre::Quake3ShaderManager.
