Topic: A line that I don't understand

Hello!

I don't understand this line (in player.cpp) :

m_pCharacter = new(m_ClientID) CCharacter(&GameServer()->m_World);

I tried searching/asking to people what it does, but I couldn't get an answer.

What I'm exactly talking about is new(m_ClientID).

while(!Success())
    TryAgain();
Try until you succeed.

Re: A line that I don't understand

Seems to be coming down to a custom new operator and dynamic memory handling.

in character.cpp, right above the constructor
MACRO_ALLOC_POOL_ID_IMPL(CCharacter, MAX_CLIENTS)

in entity.h
#define MACRO_ALLOC_POOL_ID_IMPL(POOLTYPE, PoolSize) \
    static char ms_PoolData##POOLTYPE[PoolSize][sizeof(POOLTYPE)] = {{0}}; \
    static int ms_PoolUsed##POOLTYPE[PoolSize] = {0}; \
    void *POOLTYPE::operator new(size_t Size, int id) \
    { \
        dbg_assert(sizeof(POOLTYPE) == Size, "size error"); \
        dbg_assert(!ms_PoolUsed##POOLTYPE[id], "already used"); \
        /*dbg_msg("pool", "++ %s %d", #POOLTYPE, id);*/ \
        ms_PoolUsed##POOLTYPE[id] = 1; \
        mem_zero(ms_PoolData##POOLTYPE[id], Size); \
        return ms_PoolData##POOLTYPE[id]; \
    } \

Thank you Siile! smile

I asked a few more details to my teacher and he explained me that when you overload the new operator, it always takes a size_t as first parameter. This is what was confusing me.

while(!Success())
    TryAgain();
Try until you succeed.

You'd need more than one day to learn that.

Who could make a youtube video of how to make a basic mod.
