Detailed Description

Represents a level the user plays.

Ssectors Things Vertexes

A Map is a collection of Wad entries that represent a single map or level that the user plays on in the game. It contains a bunch of entries in the following order:

Map Entries:
MAPxy or ExMy zero-length header
THINGS
LINEDEFS
SIDEDEFS
VERTEXES
SEGS
SSECTORS
NODES
SECTORS
REJECT
BlOCKMAP

Additionally, there are several OpenGL node structures that may follow, if the map author built GL nodes:

OpenGL Map Entries:
GL_ExMy or GL_MAPxy marker
GL_VERT
GL_SEGS
GL_SSECT
GL_NODES

Together, they define a single map. Unfortunately, the OO paradigm breaks down a little when dealing with maps. There are too many cross-references between map structures to allow proper nesting and referencing, so each structure is dumb. All it knows are a bunch of integers and strings. These reference other map structures and graphics by name only. The Map class holds logic to piece them together and handle cross-referencing properly.

I really wish there were a better way to do this, but id built Doom a long time ago and did not use object-orientation at all.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Map::Map (  const std::string &  newName = DEFAULT_MAP_NAME, bool  useGL = false )  throw ()

"Default" Constructor. Has default values for its parameters. Parameters: newName  Name of the map, e.g. "MAP01". useGL  Enable OpenGL resources? Definition at line 54 of file map.cpp.

Map::Map (  Wad::const_iterator  source  )  throw ()

Constructor. Constructs from an iterator to a Lump in a Wad. Takes that Lump's name, and reads the Lumps following it as its data. Automatically determines if it needs to enable OpenGL. Parameters: source  Iterator to a map marker in a Wad. Definition at line 70 of file map.cpp.

Map::~Map (  void   )  throw () [virtual]

Destructor. Destroys a Map object. Definition at line 82 of file map.cpp.
