Map Template Load Verb + Maploader Improvements #13852

…r where they (or their ghost) is standing.

What with lava ruins and such i think all these should get unified datums that preload their properties. But i guess that can wait. |
|
What would you want datumized? The main drawback I see is that your areas will be the same in each 'paste' of the map. |
|
@octareenroon91 with a datum for each "paste" you could "un-load" them, but I dont think that's that useful right now. |
|
Ah, very true. |
…assumptions that the coordinates exist (NO MORE RUNTIMES AT MAP EDGES WOOO!)

oooohhhhh shiny |

Is there any limitation reasoning why a system similar to midi uploading be used to upload your own custom .dmm past invalid paths? Most station maps average around 1.5MB, with meta being the biggest at around 2MB so I'd assume uploading little segments like this wouldn't be that intensive. |
|
literally just because I don't know the exact procs for sending something to the server (things like VVing icon just use "as icon" which apparently defaults to the user's PC, which I guess automatically does the transfer, I THINK there's an "as file" in which case I'd just ban non .dmm files and that'd be that) tl;dr I'll do it if I can figure it out. |

@Jordie0608 ah excellent! the 1MB limit should be fine too, as previously mentioned, the "small shuttle" here is only 1.9 kilobytes. |
|
mso files uploaded to the server go to byond\cache folder yes? |

@Jordie0608 I'm going to assume that's an IRC log dump, and not you going insane :P |

Can't you use copytext to make sure it isn't something like innocent_map.dmm.mp4.swf.exe
EDIT: not that extension matters anyway, and we're supposed to trust admins but eh

I suppose so.

also I just thought, could this work for holodeck/thunderdome templates? |
|
It would make the holodeck system easier to maintain since you don't have to map onto z2.dmm . |
Map Templates:
Includes two examples:
Example naming scheme: "size_quick-description-or-title_instance-number"
I'd like this naming scheme to be followed, but it's not necessary
(I might swap size and title around, so "asteroid_small" appears at the top)
Maploader Improvements:
for(X = 1, X<=some_max, X++)loops replaced with the much fasterfor(X in 1 to some_max)format, removes the 1-2ms delay after loading a maptemplate, woo!
