libfalltergeist's Issues

`DatFileItem::readBytes` shoud take `unsigned char ` instead of `char ` for the destination buffer

Remove unnecessary null pointer checks

An extra null pointer check is not needed in functions like the following.

Use C++11

Я так понимаю, ты собираешь проект с помощью gcc. Версия 4.8 поддерживает С++11 (надо только добавить ключ -std=c++11). Clang тоже поддерживает C++11. Visual Studio поддерживает только частично, но обещают сделать к новому году кажется. Кроме того под Windows проект прекрасно собирается с помощью mingw (gcc для Windows).
Использование C++11 существенно облегчит разработку, было бы здорово его включить.

Use C++ exact-width integer types when dealing with DAT files

Reference.

Memory usage check

Must be done

Segmentation fault when fetching DAT file item by invalid (non existing) path

When one tries to extract a DAT file item by a path that doesn't exists (for example, maps/NO_SUCH_MAP.map, the program gets terminated by a segfault. The expected behavior in this case is to indicate error somehow, for example throwing an exception, in order to allow the calling side (the user) to be able to deal with the error gracefully.

Parse TXT files

Need to add parsers for all TXT config files of original engine:

CITY.TXT
ENDGAME.TXT
HOLODISK.TXT
KARMAVAR.TXT
MAPS.TXT
PARTY.TXT
QUESTS.TXT
WORLDMAP.TXT
VAULT13.GAM

Other files seem to be plain and simple INI (one line - one value), maybe direct usage of INI module will suffice.

Uses unfriendly license

This is a library licensed under GPLv3, which is very unusual for a library given you cannot use it in projects without dual licensing under the GPLv3. This means its use is very limited... Consider switching to a more open license (or even the LGPL).
