This is another Update to the API that adds / changes:
Unified Naming of API Comands and API Functions. --> They are now called "API Commands" across all files and the DB
Moves API Related procs from world.dm to api.dm
Adds a proc to write the API commands to the db (so there is no need to manually maintain the list of API commands)
The name change needs to be done before the API is live.
No changelog because there is already a entry
This adds some useful functions to the API and redefines the way the params are checked.
API Versioning
Very important to be able to check from the client if the serverside API is still compatible with the client implementation
Refactored Params
Mark params as required / optional
Different types of params (string / integer / list / select / senderkey)
Name and description for params
API Function to get all the functions a specific ip/token combo is allowed to use
API Function to get details about a specific API function
he /world/Topic() API has been rewritten.
General function:
The API is initialized upon roundstart and generates a list of possible api requests from /code/datums/api.dm
Once a request is made the following checks are performed:
If a query parameter is set (the function that should be called)
If the ip is ratelimited (or rate-limit-whitelisted)
The query is authenticated against the db using ip, function and key
If these checks pass, it is validated that the api command exists
Then the api command is called, all supplied params are passed through
Each API function returns 1 no matter if it failed or succeded
Additional info is provided in the statuscode, response and data vars
The statuscode, response and data are send back to the caller (through list2params)
The data var is json encoded before sending it back
This is not backward compatible to the current API
Current API Clients need to be updated
Nominating for worst code 2016
Adds in custom objectives for the antag competition
Adds in a verb for players to assign their character's allegiences and to later edit them
Adds in a verb for players to request objectives relating to the contest
Adds in the logging of contest results
Modifies the objective system to facilitate objectives that require regular checking (such as the brigging one, which was not functional up until now)
The idea is to consolidate all of the spam that you see on the lower right panel into one concrete, semi-persistent pop-up window. Utilizing bootstrap, it'll show you a neat welcome screen, the message of the day, staff memos (if accessible), and a personalized set of notifications. The system is set up for easy future expansion, as well.
Unbanning staff will now be prompted to enter a reason for lifting the ban. The log of a ban being lifted will now also be entered into the player's notes.
Rewrite's Mahzel's SQL character and preference saving.
Introduces easy config switching between the new and old system, with no troubles at all.
Also introduces better logging for DBQuery/proc/parseArguments(), should something go wrong. And classes SQL query errors as full on error snow, as opposed to debug data.
