I really liked the implementation of weapon_parse.cpp but I needed to use it on other things besides weapons. This is part of that implementation that handles searching and loading both .txt and .ctx files with ease, and then passing off the rest to a ::Parse function that you create in your own class. You still have to come up with a way to store the values.

Where would you need to use this? In GoldenEye: Source we use this to load in all of our character data from (scripts/characters/*.X), that is then used throughout the client and server code.

Terms of use

This code is now open source, free for use without any obligation of putting my name in any credits or anything. All I ask is that you leave my name intact where it lies in the code. I also ask that if you do improve upon this code at all that you can make those changes public for every ones benefit, but you are certainly not obligated to do so.

///////////// Copyright © 2006, Scott Loyd. All rights reserved. /////////////
// 
// File: script_parser.h
// Description:  This is an abstract class, that handles finding and loading
//				  keyvalue scripts, then passes off usable keyvalues to extended
//				  classes.  Reason for making this is because I really liked
//				  how valve setup weapon_parse.cpp but in order to use it
//				  for other script parsing, you had to recreate all the guts.
//
// Usage: See the test case in script_parser.cpp
