introduce

luban is your best game configuration solution.

Luban efficiently processes data such as excel, json, and xml common in game development, checks data errors, generates codes in various languages such as c#, and exports them into various formats such as bytes or json.

luban unifies the game configuration development workflow, greatly improving the efficiency of planning and programming.

##var	id	reward			reward2			reward3
##type	int	Reward			Reward			Reward#sep=,
##var		item_id	count	desc
	1	1001	10	item 1	1002< /td>	11	item 2	1002,1,item 3

Type inheritance (suitable for skills, buff related configuration)

##var	id	shape				shape2
##type	int	Shape				Shape
##var		$type	radius	width	height
	1	Circle	10			Circle	100
	2	Rectangle		10	20	Rectangle	10	20
	3	Circle	10			Triangle	15	15	15
	4	Circle	10			Rectangle	30	20

Multiple primary key table (joint index)

Multiple keys form a joint unique primary key.

##var	key1	key2	key3	num
##type	int	long	string	int
	1	1	aaa	123
	1	1	bbb	124
	1	2	aaa	134
	2	1	aaa	124
	5	6	xxx	898

Multiple primary key table (independent index)

Multiple keys are indexed independently.

##var	key1	key2	key3	num
##type	int	long	string	int
	1	2	aaa	123
	2	4	bbb	124
	3	6	ccc	134
	4	8	ddd	124
	5	10	eee	898

Singleton table

Some configurations only have one copy globally, such as the opening level of the guild module, the initial size of the backpack, and the upper limit of the backpack. In this case, it is more appropriate to use a singleton table to configure these data.

##var	guild_open_level	bag_init_capacity	bag_max_capacity	newbie_tasks
##type	int	int	int	list,int
##	desc1	desc2	desc3	desc4
	10	100	500	10001, 10002

Vertical table

##var#column	##type	##
guild_open_level	int	desc1	10
bag_init_capacity	int	desc2	100
bag_max_capacity	int	desc3	500
newbie_tasks	list,int	desc4	10001,10002

json, lua, xml, yaml format quick overview

Take the behavior tree as an example to show how to configure the behavior tree configuration in json format. For formats such as xml, lua, yaml, etc., please refer to detailed documentation.

Code usage preview

Here we only briefly show the usage of c#, typescript, and go languages ​​in development. For more languages ​​and more detailed usage examples and codes, see Example Project.

• C# usage example

// One line of code can load all configuration. cfg.Tables contains one instance field for all tables.
var tables = new cfg.Tables(file => return new ByteBuf(File.ReadAllBytes(gameConfDir + "/" + file + ".bytes")));
// access a singleton table
Console.WriteLine(tables.TbGlobal.Name);
// access the normal key-value table
Console.WriteLine(tables.TbItem.Get(12).Name);
// support operator [] usage
Console.WriteLine(tables.TbMail[1001].Desc);

• Typescript usage example

// One line of code can load all configuration. cfg.Tables contains one instance field for all tables.
let tables = new cfg.Tables(f => JsHelpers.LoadFromFile(gameConfDir, f))
// access a singleton table
console.log(tables.TbGlobal.name)
// access the normal key-value table
console.log(tables.TbItem.get(12).Name)

• go example

// One line of code can load all configuration. cfg.Tables contains one instance field for all tables.
if tables , err := cfg.NewTables(loader) ; err != nil {
 println(err.Error())
 return
}
// access a singleton table
println(tables.TbGlobal.Name)
// access the normal key-value table
println(tables.TbItem.Get(12).Name)
