code/__DEFINES/subsystems.dm

Defines for subsystems and overlays Lots of important stuff in here, make sure you have your brain switched on when editing this file DB defines
DB_MAJOR_VERSION	DB major schema version
DB_MINOR_VERSION	DB minor schema version
Timing subsystem
TIMER_UNIQUE	Don't run if there is an identical unique timer active
TIMER_OVERRIDE	For unique timers: Replace the old timer rather then not start this one
TIMER_CLIENT_TIME	Timing should be based on how timing progresses on clients, not the server.
TIMER_STOPPABLE	Timer can be stopped using deltimer()
TIMER_NO_HASH_WAIT	prevents distinguishing identical timers with the wait variable
TIMER_LOOP	Loops the timer repeatedly until qdeleted
TIMER_DELETE_ME	Delete the timer on parent datum Destroy() and when deltimer'd
TIMER_ID_NULL	Empty ID define
Initialization subsystem
INITIALIZATION_INSSATOMS	New should not call Initialize
INITIALIZATION_INNEW_MAPLOAD	New should call Initialize(TRUE)
INITIALIZATION_INNEW_REGULAR	New should call Initialize(FALSE)
Initialization hints
INITIALIZE_HINT_NORMAL	Nothing happens
INITIALIZE_HINT_LATELOAD	call LateInitialize at the end of all atom Initalization
INITIALIZE_HINT_QDEL	Call qdel on the atom after intialization
INITIALIZE_IMMEDIATE	type and all subtypes should always immediately call Initialize in New()
SS initialization hints
SS_INIT_FAILURE	Negative values incidate a failure or warning of some kind, positive are good. 0 and 1 are unused so that TRUE and FALSE are guarenteed to be invalid values. Subsystem failed to initialize entirely. Print a warning, log, and disable firing.
SS_INIT_NONE	The default return value which must be overriden. Will succeed with a warning.
SS_INIT_SUCCESS	Subsystem initialized sucessfully.
SS_INIT_NO_NEED	Successful, but don't print anything. Useful if subsystem was disabled.
SS initialization load orders
addtimer	Create a new timer and add it to the queue.

Define Details

#define
DB_MAJOR_VERSION

DB major schema version

Update this whenever the db schema changes

make sure you add an update to the schema_version stable in the db changelog

#define
DB_MINOR_VERSION

DB minor schema version

Update this whenever the db schema changes

make sure you add an update to the schema_version stable in the db changelog

#define
INITIALIZATION_INNEW_MAPLOAD

New should call Initialize(TRUE)

#define
INITIALIZATION_INNEW_REGULAR

New should call Initialize(FALSE)

#define
INITIALIZATION_INSSATOMS

New should not call Initialize

#define
INITIALIZE_HINT_LATELOAD

call LateInitialize at the end of all atom Initalization

The item will be added to the late_loaders list, this is iterated over after initalization of subsystems is complete and calls LateInitalize on the atom see this file for the LateIntialize proc

#define
INITIALIZE_HINT_NORMAL

Nothing happens

#define
INITIALIZE_HINT_QDEL

Call qdel on the atom after intialization

#define
INITIALIZE_IMMEDIATE
(X)

type and all subtypes should always immediately call Initialize in New()

#define
SS_INIT_FAILURE

Negative values incidate a failure or warning of some kind, positive are good. 0 and 1 are unused so that TRUE and FALSE are guarenteed to be invalid values. Subsystem failed to initialize entirely. Print a warning, log, and disable firing.

#define
SS_INIT_NONE

The default return value which must be overriden. Will succeed with a warning.

#define
SS_INIT_NO_NEED

Successful, but don't print anything. Useful if subsystem was disabled.

#define
SS_INIT_SUCCESS

Subsystem initialized sucessfully.

#define
TIMER_CLIENT_TIME

Timing should be based on how timing progresses on clients, not the server.

Tracking this is more expensive, should only be used in conjuction with things that have to progress client side, such as animate() or sound()

#define
TIMER_DELETE_ME

Delete the timer on parent datum Destroy() and when deltimer'd

#define
TIMER_ID_NULL

Empty ID define

#define
TIMER_LOOP

Loops the timer repeatedly until qdeleted

In most cases you want a subsystem instead, so don't use this unless you have a good reason

#define
TIMER_NO_HASH_WAIT

prevents distinguishing identical timers with the wait variable

To be used with TIMER_UNIQUE

#define
TIMER_OVERRIDE

For unique timers: Replace the old timer rather then not start this one

#define
TIMER_STOPPABLE

Timer can be stopped using deltimer()

#define
TIMER_UNIQUE

Don't run if there is an identical unique timer active

if the arguments to addtimer are the same as an existing timer, it doesn't create a new timer, and returns the id of the existing timer

#define
addtimer
(args ...)

Create a new timer and add it to the queue.

Arguments:
- callback the callback to call on timer finish
- wait deciseconds to run the timer for
- flags flags for this timer, see: code__DEFINES\subsystems.dm
