[PATCH] [ATLAS] Defer loading of trigger scripts

[Niek]

Currently the scripts are loaded when you load the map in Atlas for the first time (reloading doesn't matter). This means that I have to restart Atlas every time I make a change in a trigger script that I want to test.

It would be nice to defer that to a later stage.

this patch enable partially hotloading from atlas, due some limitations from wxWidget on wxFileSystemWatcher, in osx doesn't work (you need to rename and rollback the file to bypass this limitation)

Implementation limitations: this class is currently implemented for MSW,
OS X and GTK ports but doesn't detect all changes correctly everywhere: 
under MSW accessing the file is not detected (only modifying it is) 
and under OS X neither accessing nor modifying is detected 
(only creating and deleting files is). 
Moreover, OS X version doesn't currently collapse pairs of create/delete
 events in a rename event, unlike the other ones.

So you can change a trigger and just reload the map

I haven't looked at the patch too closely yet, but is it really necessary to use wxWidgets file watching? The engine should have enough hotloading capability and it should work in Atlas too.

Removing the "review" keyword to clean up a bit the queue, don't forget to add it back when you come up with new elements about using engine hotloading ;-)

Hey trompetin17 anything new ?

Backlogging due to lack of progress.
