Detailed Description

Each visible room inside the list of rooms in a lobby of type LobbyType::DEFAULT is represented by an instance of this class.

The information that is available through the various getters is regularly updated by the server as long as the client is inside the lobby. It is not updated and information will become outdated while the client is inside of a room.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~Room()

~Room ( void  )

virtual

Destructor.

Room()

Room

(

const Room &

toCopy

)

Copy-Constructor: Creates a new instance that is a deep copy of the argument instance.

Parameters

toCopy

The instance to copy.

Member Function Documentation

operator=()

Room & operator= ( const Room &  toCopy )

virtual

operator=.

Makes a deep copy of its right operand into its left operand.

This overwrites old data in the left operand.

Reimplemented in MutableRoom.

getName()

const JString & getName

(

void

)

const

Returns

the name of the room

A rooms name is a unique identifier (per region and virtual appid) for a room/match.

It can be set set by the client on room creation as parameter of Client::opCreateRoom() or Client::opJoinOrCreateRoom().

The name can't be changed once the room is created.

getPlayerCount()

nByte getPlayerCount ( void  ) const

virtual

Returns

the count of players that are currently inside this room

Reimplemented in MutableRoom.

getMaxPlayers()

nByte getMaxPlayers

(

void

)

const

Returns

the limit of players for this room. If a room is full (getPlayerCount() == getMaxPlayers()), joining this room will fail.

getIsOpen()

bool getIsOpen

(

void

)

const

Returns

'true' if the room can be joined, 'false' otherwise.

This does not affect listing in a lobby but joining a room will fail if it is not open.

If it is not open, then a room is excluded from random matchmaking.

Due to racing conditions, found matches might become closed even while you join them. Simply find another room in this scenario.

getDirectMode()

nByte getDirectMode

(

void

)

const

Returns

one of the values in DirectMode

This returns DirectMode::NONE, unless the client that created the room has set something else through RoomOptions::setDirectMode()

getCustomProperties()

const Hashtable & getCustomProperties

(

void

)

const

Returns

the custom properties of this room

Read-only cache for those custom properties of a room, which have been included in the list of properties to show in lobby (see RoomOptions::setPropsListedInLobby() and MutableRoom::setPropsListedInLobby()).

A client can change the custom properties of the currently joined room through class MutableRoom. The initial custom properties of a room can be set through class RoomOptions.

operator==()

bool operator==

(

const Room &

room

)

const

operator==.

Returns

true, if both operands are equal, false otherwise.

Two Room instances are considered equal, if getName() returns equal values for both of them.

toString() [1/4]

JString & toString ( Common::JString &  retStr, bool  withTypes = false  ) const

virtual

Remarks

The cost of this function depends a lot on implementation details of the implementing subclasses, but for container classes this function can become quite expensive, if the instance contains huge amounts of data, as its cost for many container class implementations increases disproportionately high to the size of the payload.

Parameters

retStr	reference to a string, to store the return-value in; the information, which is generated by this function, will be attached at the end of any eventually existing previous content of the string
withTypes	set to true, to include type information in the generated string

Returns

a JString representation of the instance and its contents for debugging purposes.

Implements ToString.

toString() [2/4]

JString toString ( bool  withTypes, bool  withCustomProperties  ) const

virtual

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters

withTypes	set to true, to include type information in the generated string
withCustomProperties	set to true, to include the custom properties in the generated string

toString() [3/4]

toString

Remarks

The cost of this function depends a lot on implementation details of the implementing subclasses, but for container classes this function can become quite expensive, if the instance contains huge amounts of data, as its cost for many container class implementations increases disproportionately high to the size of the payload.

Parameters

retStr	reference to a string, to store the return-value in; the information, which is generated by this function, will be attached at the end of any eventually existing previous content of the string
withTypes	set to true, to include type information in the generated string

Returns

a JString representation of the instance and its contents for debugging purposes.

toString() [4/4]

JString toString

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters

withTypes

set to true, to include type information in the generated string

Returns

a JString representation of the instance and its contents for debugging purposes.
