Schemas

Below is a list of mechanisms Imlight employs that doesn't quite have enough substance to warrant it's own document.

Server Protocols

Like DML protocols, Imlight has it's own set of internal protocols known as IServerProtocol. These protocols follow the same schema as the game client protocols for consistency sake.

ReceiveProtocolDispatcher

The ReceiveProtocolDispatcher class is an abstraction for the actor model that allows for message handlers in a class to instead be identified using C# attributes.

For example:

[MessageHandler(typeof(LOGIN_7_PROTOCOL.MSG_DELETECHARACTER))]
private void ReceiveDeleteCharacter(LOGIN_7_PROTOCOL.MSG_DELETECHARACTER message) {
    // Do work here
}

[MessageHandler(typeof(LOGIN_7_PROTOCOL.MSG_DELETECHARACTER))]
private void ReceiveDeleteCharacter(LOGIN_7_PROTOCOL.MSG_DELETECHARACTER message) {
    // Do work here
}
