StendhalRefactoringUpdates
From Arianne
TODO: update this page as a lot has been achieved from it
Contents |
Requirements
- no need to download huge parts of unchanged resources on every update
- easy way for the player to add huge optional packages (sound, music)
- automatic update without the player having to redownload manuelly
- it should not only be possible to add resources but to replace them, too
- modification of program code
- cleanup of stuff not used anymore
- don't download files which are not completly uploaded yet
Ideas for implementation
- a very small starter "application" which does not depend on marauroa
- player download only this code from SF or via webstart
- store *.jar in $HOME/stendhal/jar
- use own classloader to load all .jar-files in $HOME/stendhal/jar
- order of loading the .jar-files is important (new ones first)
- use jardiff to create .jar for subsequent releases
- check arianne.sf.net for updates on program start.
- dialog box to inform players about pending updates and show progress
- dialog box to add huge optional resources (like sound, music)
