Data Structure

From The Official Visionaire Studio: Adventure Game Engine Wiki

The Visionaire data structure consists of different tables (storing different types of objects) saved in an XML project file (.ved) on disk. Not all fields in this documentation are stored in the project files though, some of them are only created during the game and stored in the savegames. The Storage column describes where each field is saved. A field with Storage V is saved in the .ved file, a field with Storage S is stored in savegames.

Every field is accessible through scripting, can be read from or written to. However, in practice it does not make sense to edit the majority of them, because the Visionaire Player does not react to all changes (without first reloading the scene) and certain fields are not stored into the savegame files. For this purpose there is a column Scriptable next to each field, which indicates whether or not the field can be manipulated through code.

Please note that the information on whether a field is scriptable may not be 100% accurate. If it is marked as scriptable, it usually is. If it is marked as not scriptable, it may be nonetheless though. Feel free to try things out.

The tables starting with Active contain dynamically created objects. For example all actions are stored in the "Actions" table but once an action gets executed an object in "ActiveActions" will be created where the currently active action is stored.


For information on the field types and on how to access the data structure through scripting, please refer to the basic scripting page.
