public class Bootstrap

extends MapObject

Allows Wizards to be notified when the game starts up, so they can preload maps, start timers, register commands, install hooks, and so on.

To use a Bootstrap, create a subclass of it, in either Java or Jython, anywhere under your wiz directory. Have your subclass override the startup() method and do any initialization it needs there. It can also override shutdown() to perform cleanup code when the server is shutting down.

Then put a file called "bootstrap.arch" in your top-level wiz directory, referencing your subclass. If your wizard name is "bob", then your bootstrap.arch would look like this:

<arch path="wiz/bob/bootstrap/bootstrap.py"/>

(or)

<arch class="wiz/bob/bootstrap/Bootstrap.java"/>

The system will make one attempt to locate and load your bootstrap.arch. If it fails, it will print the error to your logs/error.log.

Bootstrap is an implementation of GameObject so you can clone it, to test your startup() and shutdown() code.

Method Detail

loadBootstraps

public static void loadBootstraps()

Attempts to load all the Wizard bootstrap objects. Called by the system on startup. Will throw an exception if called after startup.

shutdownBootstraps

public static void shutdownBootstraps()

Calls shutdown() on all the wiz bootstrap objects.

startup

public void startup()

Called when the system is starting up.

shutdown

public void shutdown()

Called when the system is shutting down, assuming it's not shutting down by crashing. You can use this method to save any data you might have pending.
