There are many occasions for Acedia where we might want to limit names
of objects to a certain predictable and manageable set and limitations
placed on config names seem to fit all of these cases.
That is why we rename `IsValidConfigName()` into a more
generic-sounding method name.
Additional change is limiting length of a "valid name" to 50 characters
at most, since Unreal Engine doesn't like loing config lines.
Several methods such as `Copy()`, `Remove()`, `ChangeFormatting()` and
several others have had similar errors related to how their input
parameters defined range when specified out-of-bounds.
This patch should fix them.
Previously one could only read formatted data directly from `string`s.
This patch adds another method `AppendFormatted()` for appending a
`Text`/`MutableText`, while parsing its data like a formatted string.
This method was creating an empty json pointer when user passed a `none`
value, but having to pass `none` made for a bad interface. This patch
allows to simply omit the argument.
`Copy()` and `MutableCopy()` methods for `Text` incorrectly handled
negative arguments in some cases. They were fixed and appropriate tests
were added.
I shamefully ended up doing another mega-commit, because a lot of things
needed to be redone at once and it was easier that way on me. No one
really consistently tracks what I'm doing with these commits anyway.
This adds a whole bunch of code to deal with proper clean up for Acedia,
so it doesn't crash on map change and also replaces old event/listener
system with new signals/slots one.
Make decoder work with byte arrays containing a single complete text,
instead of byte streams with several separate texts.
Moved codecs into "Text" category.
Add method for checking whether certain `Text` is empty (`none` or has
zero recorded characters).
Add methods for converting and deallocation (in the same action) passed
`Text` value into the `string`.
Now all objects only have to calculate their hash code once and it's
value will be stored for later `GetHashCode()` calls, since has code is
not suppoed to change during their lifetime anyway.
Now `LoggerAPI`, instead of simply loggin messages by itself, uses
logger objects (deriving from `Logger` class) to output log messages for
it (previous way of logging by `Log()` method is available by
`ConsoleLogger`).
Multiple loggers can be configured per each log level, which can be done
via config.
Added more conversion methods from primitive types (`bool`, `byte`,
`int`, `float`) into `Text` and `MutableText` into the standart
`TextAPI`. Made `JSONAPI` use these methods instead.
This is a giga commit, something that should not really be done with
git, but I messed up.
This commit brings a great amount of changes, most important is
reworking `TextAPI` and alsmost complete replacement of `string` with
`Text`/`MutableText`.
Another huge change is introduction of command system that allows to
define commands in a centralized manner, handles auto-parsing of
their parameters and auto generates help info.
Lastly, JSON data types were replaced with new
`DynamicArray`/`AssociativeArray` that are better designed and more
generic.
