Detailed Description

The server, like the client, is a state machine.

It doesn't present its state explicitly however, but only as two implicit states: map loaded ("normal, running") and map unloaded ("idle"). As with the client, having a true "idle" state (rather than expressing it with a NULL ServerT instance pointer) has several advantages: a) We can gracefully terminate pending network connections (e.g. resend reliable data in the clients zombie state), and b) the server can receive and process conn-less network packets, and thus is available for administration via rcon commands.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ServerT::ServerT	(	const GameInfoT &	GameInfo,
		const GuiCallbackI &	GuiCallback_,
		ModelManagerT &	ModelMan,
		cf::GuiSys::GuiResourcesT &	GuiRes
	)

The constructor.

Exceptions

InitErrorT

if the server could not be initialized (e.g. a socket for the desired port could not be aquired).

Member Function Documentation

int ServerT::ConFunc_runMapCmd_Callback ( lua_State *  LuaState )

static

A console function that stores the given command string until the server "thinks" next.

The RunMapCmdsFromConsole() method then runs the commands in the context of the current map/entity script.
