Callback functions before save and load

Harton · 12-18-2012 10:47 AM

Hello,

I would like to ask You to add callback function before saving and loading all resources (mesh, animation, physic, material and world). This is very important for us. Probably this will be simple for You but now we started using advanced control system for resources but we have no control over the resources directly in the editor.
It often happens that people override resources and destroy our work.

Is this request is possible to realize?

Wouldn't it be better to be able to set files to "read-only" then?

Of course. We can set state "read-only" in control system. But we can only set this in other application... If someone forgot to set this, others people can override files.
The solution is to set "read-only" when someone loads resource.
We have developed a system for the editor, but we need callback functions.

Hello,

I'd need more information.
How would that work?
What's exactly the purpose of this? What are you trying to achieve with this?
Why is it callback for loading? Don't you mean saving/overwriting?

We use Perforce control system. We want to mark resources when someone is working on them. Now I don't know when someone opens a resource (the world, mesh, material, etc.), so we have to check frame by frame, which is opened.
I would like to ask you about the callback that will be called when someone will save or load resources in the editor.

For example:

Code:

static void OnLoadMaterial(Ptr user)

{

     Material* mtrl = (Material*)user;

     // code for Perforce

}

or

Code:

static void OnAddWaypoint(Ptr user)

{

     Str* waypointName = (Str*)user;

     // code for Perforce

}

These are just examples, but we are concerned to know that someone has made or wants to make some changes in the game files in an editor.

Is it possible to add to the editor?

I would like to repeat the question about these callback functions. As I mentioned, it would really help us also in other game systems. Is it possible to add in the near future and we need to deal differently?

Hello,

I'd asked for a reply message about my questions. This issue is more important for us. Without answers we do not know how to design tools.

Hi, sorry for late reply. At the moment I'm too busy with other things (roadmap), therefore I won't be able to add such functionality to the Editor.

Harton · 03-11-2013 02:31 PM

Ok.

I understand but it is possible to add in the future or far future?

I'd like to help, but I'm literally swamped with dozens of requests, and many high priority tasks already.
Thank you for your understanding smile
