Circle 3.0 DG Events Patch 1.1 ============================== Second release, 9 March 1998 This patch implements events for CircleMUDs. Events allow you to schedule an action in the future. You first create an event, specifying how long from the current time you wish it to occur, an event function, and an event object. When the mud reaches that time, the event function is called with the event object passed to it. This patch is similar to the one by Luis Carvalho. It should be a little more efficient, especially if you heavily use events. It probably can even co-exist with the other event patch, though for simplicity it is probably best to chose one or the other. Installation ------------ 1. Copy the files queue.h, queue.c, events.c, and events.h to your circle/src directory. 2. In your circle directory (not circle/src), run "patch -p1 < dgevent.patch". 3. Rerun configure (to update your Makefile). 4. Recompile your MUD. The patch is based on Circle 3.0 pl12, so you may have to do some patching by hand if you have modified your source or are using it on a different version. This has only been tested on Linux, but hopefully will work on all systems unmodified. Please let me know if you have to make any changes for it to work on your system. Using ----- The document events.doc distributed with the patch provides the details for using events on your MUD. This patch will do nothing will do nothing by itself; you will have to write some events to make use of it. For some code which makes use of this, see the DG Regen patch. Possible Problems ----------------- If the mud fails to compile with this patch due to errors like: events.o(.text+0xaf8): undefined reference to `queue_init' comm.o(.text+0x0bc): undefined reference to `event_process' then you did not properly update your Makefile, either by rerunning configure, or copying over the Makefile.win to Makefile. events.o and queue.o must be added to OBJFILES in order for it to compile properly. If your mud starts crashing when using events, make sure you are not referencing pointers in your event_obj which have been freed. I generally solve this by attaching a pointer to the event to the object refered to in the event and freeing it when the object is freed (see the events.doc for more information). Please note that it is not safe to check a list of objects to make sure the pointer still exists; pointers can be reused. Location -------- The latest version of the dg events patch should be available from the CircleMUD ftp site (ftp://ftp.circlemud.org/pub/CircleMUD/contrib/code). Please note that this is different from the other events patch found there. They are similar in purpose, but are implemented in different ways and by different authors.
