Summary

Using the filtered attribute to only pass though/inherit what's needed.

Written in response to one of @wowgetoffyourcellphone's problems with his Delenda Est mod : https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/topic/21573-ugh-okay-help/&do=findComment&comment=332268, problem no. 1.

New solution: Make all parts of the Player component optional so player_gaia doesn't need them to be set.

Test Plan

Run a game session in 0ad. There should be no error or warning messages.

Also, it might help to run a game session with the Delenda Est mod enabled (and that mod's copy of templates/special/player_gaia.xml deleted). Again, there should be no warnings.

To check that only the Player component is being inherited, and the others are not:

  • Add warn(uneval(this.template)) to the init() function of the Player component and one of the other player-level components (such as TechnologyManager).
  • Reload 0ad, and start a new game
  • You should get a line printed for each player, plus gaia, from the Player component. (With the Delenda Est mod enabled, the resource glory should also be present in all lines from this component, not just the ones from players).
  • But for the other component, you should only get lines printed for the players, and not one for gaia.

Isn't this replacing the Player entry and instead should use filtered="" too or do I recall incorrectly?

I'd originally put <Player merge=""> as that is what's used in the special_filter/* templates, but through testing before uploading it seems that it's unnecessary...

Result of the test in 0ad public for gaia and player 1:

WARNING: ({BarterMultiplier:{Buy:{food:"1.0", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}, Sell:{food:"1.0", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}}, SharedDropsitesTech:(void 0), SharedLosTech:(void 0), SpyCostMultiplier:"1.0"})
WARNING: ({BarterMultiplier:{Buy:{food:"1.0", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}, Sell:{food:"1.0", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}}, SharedDropsitesTech:"unlock_shared_dropsites", SharedLosTech:"unlock_shared_los", SpyCostMultiplier:"1.0"})

For delenda est, which annoyingly has a copy of the Player component for any reason:

WARNING: ({BarterMultiplier:{Buy:{food:"1.0", glory:"1000", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}, Sell:{food:"1.0", glory:"0.001", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}}, SharedDropsitesTech:(void 0), SharedLosTech:(void 0), SpyCostMultiplier:"1.0"})
WARNING: ({BarterMultiplier:{Buy:{food:"1.0", glory:"1000", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}, Sell:{food:"1.0", glory:"0.001", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}}, SharedDropsitesTech:"unlock_shared_dropsites", SharedLosTech:"unlock_shared_los", SpyCostMultiplier:"1.0"})

Actually it looks wrong that we have SharedDropsitesTech:(void 0) entry and not an empty string (ping @leper), but that's not an issue of this patch,

nor is it an issue of rP19302, because without the gaia player diff, we have these undefined entries for the two mandatory text attributes too:

WARNING: ({BarterMultiplier:{Buy:{food:"1.0", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}, Sell:{food:"1.0", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}}, SharedDropsitesTech:(void 0), SharedLosTech:(void 0), SpyCostMultiplier:"1.0"})
WARNING: ({BarterMultiplier:{Buy:{food:"1.0", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}, Sell:{food:"1.0", metal:"1.0", stone:"1.0", wood:"1.0"}}, SharedDropsitesTech:"unlock_shared_dropsites", SharedLosTech:"unlock_shared_los", SpyCostMultiplier:"1.0"})

Also not sure that gaia really needs the multipliers, but it's probably better to keep the differences between gaia and the other players minimal to avoid it bugging in case the player changes perspective to gaia or does something with a gaia entity like #4603

binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/special/player_gaia.xml
1–2

Ah, reading rP19302 again, merge="" was used to only add the attribute if the parent has the attribute too, while it is actually merged in both cases.

So adding the merge="" here could be done to make this template not add Player if player.xml for any reason (mods?) removed it too.
Seems like an unlikely case, because what else do we have that component for and if someone deleted it, he should delete these two templates as well. So @coin.

I'm not convinced this is the right way to do it. I guess we initially added the SharedLosTech to gaia player only to avoid having it optionnal, and then we added the other properties one by one just because there was a precedent, and now we add the full inheritence (including i guess the entityLimits and the other stuff?). The most logical imo would be to make all these proprieties optionnals in the player component.
Ideally player_gaia.xml should be empty if none of its content is used.

Nope. Entity limits, limit changers, limit removers, etc. are not part of the Player component and, thanks to the filtered attribute, are not inherited.

ok sorry, i'm not used to the filtered attribute.
But still wouln't it be better to either put all these proprieties optional in Player.js, or possibly have a new GaiaPlayer component? Gaia is completely different than a normal player, and trying to have it included is maybe not the right approach.

elexis added a comment.Jun 2 2017, 7:37 PM

Mods (like gaia here) might want to add many weird civs objects, so adding support to omit Player properties that are never going to be relevant sounds preferable over the proposed patch or a new component.
The proposed patch doesn't add a regression but fixes an issue by removing hardcoding, so it depends on whether s0600204 wants to implement it (or write a simple ticket), fix it before the release or not, or split it.

wouldn't it be better to init to 1 instead of undefined so that all components will still work as now (if we ever need to bribe a gaia unit)
+this.template.SpyCostMultiplier does not need the parenthesis

71

same thing here, instead of undefined, having a loop on resCodes and putting all to 1 would avoid the changes you did in Barter code
We could even always do this init to 1 before, line 68 and then modify those defined in the template

585

I wonder if it would not be worth to cache it (as is done for this.sharedDropsites)

762

if (this.template.SharedLosTech && msg.tech == this.template.SharedLosTech) ?

So long as no staff member, contributor, or modder adds a non-optional property to the Player component, no.

Fix test broken by changes,

(So this actually shows up for review.)

Part of the reasoning for adding player_gaia was that it does not need all those things actual players need, so making it inherit from that seems wrong, but I guess you got to that conclusion by now.

delenda est, which annoyingly has a copy of the Player component for any reason

Side note: I edit the Player component to change the default population cap. That's currently the only reason I have that file in the mod.
