Re: [Javamud-developers] Alternate directory structure

[Istvan D. <ist...@F-...>]

Let's see:

The only major problem with this would be that the mudlib API has one 
function: clone_object(String filename).
This doesn't tell the type of the object, so in the current implementation the 
driver tries in three places: object/; mob/; room/ and tries to load the 
first class that matches the filename relative to the above paths.
If you want this to work, i have to make the driver recognize the type of the 
class that's being loaded and then cast it to the apropiate type (in fact 
that should be the way to do it anyway, so i'll try to do that next, when i 
have the time).
Anyway, all the classes MUST be under javamud/ directory, since the main 
package if the game is "javamud.*".
Personally i like the previous structure better (the existing one), since the 
inheritance and package structure is obvious.
