Status update 2 - 28 May 2012

Last weeks's accomplishments
-Wrote CGuildRank Class
-Wrote EGS Commands
-Wrote Mutator functions for CGuildRank in Guild.cpp
-Set up a shard for testing

What still needs to be done
-I made a minor oversight of not thinking about where the rank would be kept (needs to be saved in the CGuildMember class)
-Still need to merge

This week's goals
-Merge asap
-Change CGuildMember to include CGuildRank
-Create a structure on PD for guild ranks

Status Update 3 (for last week) - 11 June 2012

Last week's accomplishments
-Got mercurial working
-set up client and got that working
-tested first egs command on the shard

What still needs to be done
-test the other egs commands

There was a fundamental change in how the guild ranks are to be structured around here \/ which had me refactoring some code that I had gotten ahead on. But now that code is done (although I still need to test it on the shard).

Status Update 4 - 11 June 2012

LAst weeks accomplishments
-Rewrote CguildRank to be a dummy class and wrote GCuildRankContainer to hold all of the logic
-Rewrote the CGuild functions to use the helper functions in CGuildRankContainer
-Rewrote the EGS commands
-Added in persistence
-Broke the shard, seemingly beyond repair

What still needs to be done
-Test all of the new code I've written
-Get Mercurial to work when I need it to

This week's goals
-fix the shard asap
-test and debug everything
-find out how much lua and xml I'll need to know to modify the guild manager interface

RE: GSoC 2012 Progress - Guild Ranks - Added by malikb979 almost 3 years ago

I was on vacation last week which is why I didn't post a status report.

Last week's accomplishments
-Added ranks to CGuildMember.
-Added commands to set and test what rank a CGuildMember has.
-Wrote more guild rank helper functions.
-Documented all existing current code.

What still needs to be done
-Figure out persistence.
-Talk with mentor about how ranks and grades will relate (in case not everyone wants to convert to ranks, I have to leave the option to only use grades).

This week's goals
-Get things to persist.
-Learn how to change the guild manager interface with lua and xml.
-Talk about and start coding the way guild grades will interact with ranks.

Last week's accomplishments
-Found where changes need to be made to make ranks persist
-Figured out how to make ranks replace grades without breaking everything
