New Projects
Project Types
The Engine has built-in support for Lua scripting, which enables you to write logic without writing a line of C++ code, as well as the ability to extend the Engine's C++ built-in objects. You can also write logic in C++, extending the functionality provided by the Engine's logical layer framework.
Creating New Script Projects
See Project in Get to Know the Flexi Editor.
Creating New C++ Projects
The structure of the current C++ template is separating the Engine from the project, while merging the project internal source code, binary and resources, the general structure is as follows:
Project Directory：
bin
res
script
source
xxx.projectinfo
Considering the authority management of each type of developers, the project can be adjusted into the following structure after getting the SDK of the Engine:
Project Directory:
00_engine
include
lib
source
extern
01_program
02_config
00_engine
standalone
unique_editor
unique_engine
windows
debug_md_vs2015x64
release_md_vs2015x64
tools
01_client
03_res
xxx.projectinfo
Then adjust the configuration in xxx.projectinfo, projectinfo is configured in the following format:
[Engine]
; Engine Type
EngineType=DX11
; The Engine version number when created
Version=18692
; Project Preview Path
ShootPath=
[Project]
; Binary Directory（relative to.projectinfo）
BinaryPath=bin\windows
; Script Directory（relative to.projectinfo）
ScriptPath=script
; Configure Directory（relative to.projectinfo）
ConfigPath=config
; Resource Directory（relative to.projectinfo）
ResourcePath=res
; The project needs to load the DLL configuration（relative to ConfigPath）
ProjectConfig=project.ini
; Global Effect Configuration Path（relative to.projectinfo）
Quality=content/quality/quality.setting
; Plugin Path（relative to.projectinfo）
PluginPath=plugins
EnabledPlugins=
; Project Source Code Path（relative to.projectinfo）
Source=source
[NeedRegisterPaths]
; Need Register Paths, after registration, obtain through ICore::GetRegisteredPath(path_name)
cache=cache
game_bin=bin\windows
game_script=script
game_config=config
game_plugin=plugins
Project DLL Loading Configurations
You can modify config\project.ini in the Project Directory to configure the project DLL that needs to be loaded.
Example:
[Module]
fx_game.dll
The debug version of the project DLL should be generated in the Project Directory under bin\windows\debug_md_vs2015x64. The release version DLL should be generated in the Project Directory under bin\windows\release_md_vs2015x64. The Engine will automatically load the project DLL in the corresponding directory based on whether the current fx_main.exe is debug version or release version (base on the path where fx_main.exe is stored).
