Zhan July 18-25

• The chat window's patch has some problems by discussing with weltall. Weltall pointed two big problem in the patch and we discussed the possible solutions to get rid of these problems. Then I read the code for planeshift's skin system to get an overview and search solutions. I tried to design a method to write user's configuration to user data directory as the game currently does. While loading chat window, these configuration could then be loaded and processed by code to adjust the widgets in chat window. Another part of my work for this week is to study RTT and continue the work I did before. Talad asked me to place other ideas in my proposal to a higher priority. So I think I should change my plan for next week. Following is the work I did this week:
  • Discussed the problems in my patch with weltall. Looking for solution to those two problems changing my code.
  • Working on enabling books to show texts and images. Not finished.
  • Read the current widget rendering code and continue the work I did before on RTT.
  • Read the code of the skin system as well as the part for style system to get clear about skin and style and ensure the modification work on the previous patch is valid.

• Plan for next week
  • Finishing work for modifying patch for chat window.
  • Finishing work for enableing books to show images.
