Bring back RegisterTrophy

[Bart van Strien]

Of course I understand you're still working on the API, but I must say that parsing a trophy object is hard enough, let alone making one, that's why I prefer RegisterTrophy over InsertTrophy.
Well that, and the fact that it is one of the few documented functions.

[Seif Lotfy (seif)]

The client doesnt need to parse a trophy file...
The client dumps it in a folder so that omg catches on it. the Client that
throws it in just needs to know the ID of the Trophy so he can unlock it
over dbus on omg :)

I'd like to say you still need to parse a trophy *object* it for GetTrophies.

Anyway, back on-topic:
So, you deprecate one of the 4 documented functions.. well, okay, I can manage, but what is the file format? The 'dummy' file was filled with 'random' strings..

[Seif Lotfy (seif)]

The client never parses
all he needs to know is the tophy id...
the daemon itself does all the parsing :)

You kind of need to create the file with the trophies... don't you?

[Seif Lotfy (seif)]

yeah developers create it by hand.. its easy
If you are going to develop a trophy you develop it by hand and
ofcourse remember the id ur goign to give it
then when in ur app the conditons for reqrding the trophy is met u signal
AwardTrophy with the according ID

And that's why I'm asking what the format is, or at least a better documentation of it.

[Bart van Strien (bartbes)]

Also, what was wrong with RegisterTrophy?

[Seif Lotfy (seif)]

its simple actually

[Trophy]
Title =
Description =
Application =
Set =
IconPath =

[Manish Sinha (मनीष सिन्हा) (manishsinha)]

The format of the Trophy file is
It starts with something inside [ and ]

Then it has a list of Key=Value pair on each line. This is what the dameon looks for in the trophy file.

All the lines which have a "="in it is taken into consideration and rest all the rejected. This means you can even have
[I met my girlfriend today morning] in the first line

The allowed keys are
* ID
* Title
* Description
* Application
* SetName
* IconPath
* Priority
* Locale

If you use any other keys, they are ignored. Please dont use anything like

Id=Foo=Blah

it would also be rejected. It only looks for
Key=Value

All leading and trailing whitespaces are stripped out from Key and Value

this means
___Id___=__Me_too_
Where _ means whitespace

Finally this will become
Id and Me_too

Please don't put the values in quotes. You dont need to.

I think I have documented the Trophy format. I will move this to some place once we arrive at a conclusion that it is fine.
