Detailed Description

Static class which allows all the file access.

Handling the file access means all accesses to textures and objects are handled. Included are methods to load files containt images and 3d game objects, retrieving information about loaded objects and modify them in a way that they can be used in the program.

Member Function Documentation

float FileAccess::getObjectFactor ( ObjectName  object )

static

Returns the scale factor of a given object.

Parameters

object

the given object

Definition at line 115 of file FileAccess.cpp.

string FileAccess::getObjectFile ( ObjectName  object )

static

Returns the filename for an object given as ObjectName.

Parameters

object

the given object

Definition at line 90 of file FileAccess.cpp.

ObjectAccess FileAccess::getObjectInfo ( ObjectName  object )

static

Returns the information for a given object. Returned are the filename and the view direction of the object.

Parameters

object

the given object

Definition at line 99 of file FileAccess.cpp.

Vector3 FileAccess::getObjectView ( ObjectName  object )

static

Returns the view direction of a given object.

Parameters

object

the given object

Definition at line 107 of file FileAccess.cpp.

TextureSlot FileAccess::getPlanetSlot ( unsigned int  index )

static

Gives the TextureSlot that is assigned to a given index.

It is mainly a translation function to translate from an integer to a TextureSlot.

Parameters

index

number of the planet slot whose nome is asked for

Definition at line 22 of file FileAccess.cpp.

string FileAccess::getTextureFile ( TextureName  texture )

static

Returns the filename for a given texture.

The filename is created from the information in the static textureInfos[] array. If a texture is available in different sizes, an suffix is added to the name.

Parameters

texture

name of the texture

Definition at line 36 of file FileAccess.cpp.

TextureAccess FileAccess::getTextureInfo ( TextureName  texture )

static

Returns the TextureInfo for a given texture.

Returns are the name, the filetype and the information if the texture exists in multiple qualities.

Parameters

texture

the texture name

Definition at line 69 of file FileAccess.cpp.

void FileAccess::loadObject ( ObjectName  object )

static

Loads a 3d object from a file.

In this procedure a file is loaded, the meshs are extracted and a display list is created.

Parameters

object

the given object

Definition at line 126 of file FileAccess.cpp.

void FileAccess::loadTexture ( TextureSlot  slot, TextureName  texture  )

static

Loads a texture which is provided as a TextureName into a TextureSlot.

This is procedure is done because the number of simultaneous loaded textures should be limited.

Parameters

slot	the slot in which the texture should be loaded
texture	the texture
