Resource::IResourceFactory class
#include <Spore/Resource/IResourceFactory.h>

An interface that can be used to create resources of certain types.

Contents

Resource factories are mapped into the IResourceManager so that when a resource is accessed the correct object is returned (e.g. if you access a .png file, you get the Texture object directly). The resources created must inherit from ResourceObject.

Base classes

class ThreadedObject

Derived classes

class App::cPropManager
The implementation of IPropManager; this should only be used for extending and detouring.
class UTFWin::cCursorManager

Function documentation

bool Resource::IResourceFactory::CreateResource(IRecord* pRecord, ResourceObjectPtr& pDst, void* extraData, uint32_t typeID) pure virtual

Creates a new resource of the specified type, using the file record given.

Parameters
pRecord The IPFRecord that points to the file used by the resource (either for reading or for writing).
pDst out A pointer where the ResourceObject created must be written.
extraData
typeID The type ID of the file to read, which might be used to differentiate between different file formats or resource types.

bool Resource::IResourceFactory::ReadResource(IRecord* pRecord, ResourceObject* pResource, void* extraData, uint32_t typeID) pure virtual

Reads the data into the resource given.

Parameters
pRecord The IPFRecord that points to the file that must be read.
pResource The ResourceObject where the data must be loaded.
extraData
typeID The type ID of the file to read, which might be used to differentiate between different file formats.

bool Resource::IResourceFactory::WriteResource(ResourceObject* pResource, IRecord* pRecord, void* extraData, uint32_t typeID) pure virtual

Reads the resource into the file given.

Parameters
pResource The ResourceObject that must be saved.
pRecord The IPFRecord that points to the file that must be written.
extraData
typeID The type ID of the file to write, which might be used to differentiate between different file formats.

size_t Resource::IResourceFactory::GetSupportedTypes(uint32_t* pDstTypes, size_t count) const pure virtual

This method must tell all the type IDs that are accepted by this factory.

Parameters
pDstTypes out The uint32_t array where the type IDs must be written.
count The size of the pDstTypes array.
Returns How many type IDs are supported.

The method must return how many type IDs are supported.

bool Resource::IResourceFactory::CanConvert(uint32_t typeID, uint32_t subTypeID) pure virtual

This method must tell whether this type ID (which might be a generic one, e.g.

Parameters
typeID
subTypeID

.image) and the sub type ID (e.g. .png) are accepted by this factory. The subtypeID might be 0, in which case only the type ID matters.
