See commandline example for the implementation of the Alien functions and classes.

Functions

The following functions must be implemented on the external side:

NodeData* AllocAlienObjectData(Int32 id, Bool& known)

Allocates the different object types. The cases depends on the definition of the alien_def.h for the external application (see commandline example and its implementation of AllocAlienObjectData()).

RootMaterial* AllocAlienRootMaterial()

Allocates the root for the material.

RootMaterial *AllocAlienRootMaterial()
{
  return NewObj(AlienRootMaterial);
}

RootObject* AllocAlienRootObject()

Allocates the root for the object.

RootObject *AllocAlienRootObject()
{
  return NewObj(AlienRootObject);
}

RootLayer* AllocAlienRootLayer()

Allocates the root for the layer.

RootLayer *AllocAlienRootLayer()
{
  return NewObj(AlienRootLayer);
}

RootRenderData* AllocAlienRootRenderData()

Allocates the root for the render data.

RootRenderData *AllocAlienRootRenderData()
{
  return NewObj(AlienRootRenderData);
}

RootViewPanel* AllocC4DRootViewPanel()

Private but must be implemented.

RootViewPanel *AllocC4DRootViewPanel()
{
  return NewObj(RootViewPanel);
}

LayerObject* AllocAlienLayer()

Allocates a layer.

LayerObject *AllocAlienLayer()
{
  return NewObj(AlienLayer);
}

Classes

The following classes must be overridden on the external side:

class AlienRootObject : public RootObject

Allocates a root object depending on an object ID. In this root all objects are saved.

class AlienRootLayer : public RootLayer

The root layer where all layers are saved.

class AlienRootMaterial : public RootMaterial

The root material where all materials are saved.

class AlienRootRenderData : public RootRenderData

The root render data where all render data are saved.
