I've got all the major parts of the system working now.

I'm in the process of finishing a test rig for it, and polishing the interface to use it

its very powerful now and I'm very satisfied with ti so far

At this point, the tool operates in basic fashion. I need to finish composite sql operations and it will be ready for use.

Ie : “item->equipped = true ;“ knows to run updates on table 1, inserts into table 2 and writes a log to table 3.

This isn’t difficult to do if writing a library specifically for items. Writing it in a generic fashion, and being able to use that same library for all tables in website and then changing the table definitions on backend live, is another :)

That’s basically only thing that remains

all the major hurdles are out of the way now. I worked out the final confusion in the system today.

there are two levels to the new tool,

Entities (the top level, IE a group of tables that comprise some object in the game, like an item)
components (invididual tables that collectively form an object)

components should now be clean and properly working. now I have to back out the changes I made within the entity software to monkey wrench components to work.

its looking very good now.

clean up and polishing is going well. very close to finishing a working product here. A LOT of backend framework code had to be written. this will be used throughout the site later on
