Unigine::AsyncQueue Class

Loading of files/meshes/images/nodes on demand is performed in a separate system thread, in addition to asynchronous content streaming. This class is used to control asynchronous data loading. It is possible to control loading queue by organizing files in groups and setting individual weights inside these groups.

To load files on demand, call the functions in the following order:

First loadFile() function is called to place the file in the queue for loading and obtain an ID, that will be used to identify a resource in subsequent operations.
After that, different operations can be performed:
- forceFile() to load the file immediately.
- removeFile() to remove the file from the queue in case there is no need to load it any more of to remove a file from the list of loaded files if it was loaded but no longer needed.
- checkFile() to check if the given file was requested to be loaded via loadFile() or if it has already been loaded.

The same algorithm is true for:

Meshes - see methods loadMesh(), forceMesh(), getMesh(), takeMesh(), checkMesh(), and removeMesh().
Images - see methods loadImage(), forceImage(), getImage(), takeImage(), checkImage(), and removeImage().
Nodes - see methods loadNode(), forceNode(), getNode(), takeNode(), checkNode(), and removeNode().

To get a loaded resource (image, mesh, or node) the following 2 groups of methods can be used:

Get-methods - these methods return the loaded resource:
- getImage()
- getMesh()
- getNode()
Take-methods - these methods return the loaded resource and remove it from the list of loaded ones:
- takeImage()
- takeMesh()
- takeNode()

For example:

AsyncSample.cpp

// specify relative paths to resources to be loaded to a queue
static const char *meshes[] = {
	"meshes/box.mesh",
	"meshes/capsule.mesh",
	"meshes/cbox.mesh",
};

#define ARRAY_LENGTH(array) static_cast<int>(sizeof(array) / sizeof(array[0]))

struct AsyncLoadRequest
{
	String name;
	int id;
};

Vector<AsyncLoadRequest> mesh_load_requests;

void AsyncSample::init()
{

	// enqueue meshes to load
	for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_LENGTH(meshes); ++i)
	{
		const char *name = meshes[i];
		AsyncLoadRequest request;
		request.name = name;
		request.id = AsyncQueue::loadMesh(name);
		mesh_load_requests.append(request);
	}

}

void AsyncSample::update()
{
	// check mesh load requests
	for (int i = 0; i < mesh_load_requests.size(); ++i)
	{
		const auto &r = mesh_load_requests[i];

		if (!AsyncQueue::checkMesh(r.id))
			continue;

		// remove the mesh from the list of the loaded meshes and print a message
		AsyncQueue::removeMesh(r.id);
		Log::message("Loaded mesh \"%s\"\n", r.name.get());

		mesh_load_requests.remove(i--);
	}
}

Handling Events#

You can add "resource loaded" event handlers for files, images, meshes or nodes and perform certain actions as a resource is loaded. The example below shows how to add a "loaded" event handler for image resource, that reports the name and id of the loaded image.

Notice

Do not call take-methods inside a handler function unless you are absolutely sure, that the resource is yours, otherwise internal engine managers will be forced to load it again and again every time. In such cases it is recommended to use get-methods.

AsyncSample.cpp

// specify relative paths to resources to be loaded to a queue
static const char *textures[] = {
	"textures/black_d.texture",
	"textures/blue_d.texture",
	"textures/green_d.texture",
	"textures/orange_d.texture",
	"textures/red_d.texture",
	"textures/white_d.texture",
	"textures/yellow_d.texture",
};

#define ARRAY_LENGTH(array) static_cast<int>(sizeof(array) / sizeof(array[0]))

void AsyncSample::init()
{

	// enqueue textures to load
	for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_LENGTH(textures); ++i)
		AsyncQueue::loadImage(textures[i]);
	// subscribing for the ImageLoaded event
	AsyncQueue::getEventImageLoaded().connect(this, &AsyncSample::image_loaded);

}

// image loaded event handler function
void AsyncSample::image_loaded(const char *name, int id)
{
	AsyncQueue::removeImage(id);
	Log::message("Image \"%s\" loaded, ID: %d\n", name, id);
}

Notice

This class is a singleton.

Loading operation identifier.

int loadMesh ( const char * name, int group = 0, float weight = 0.0f ) #

Loads a given mesh-file with the specified group and priority to the thread.

Arguments

const char * name - Absolute or relative path to the *.mesh file (including its name).
int group - Priority group. Greater priority means faster loading. The default value is 0.
float weight - Weight of the priority inside the group. Greater weight means faster loading inside the same priority group. The default value is 0.0f.

Return value

Loading operation identifier.

int loadNode ( const char * name, int group = 0, float weight = 0.0f ) #

Loads a given node-file with the specified group and priority to the thread.

Notice

In order to display such asynchronously loaded node, the updateEnabled() method should be called for it from the main thread.

Arguments

const char * name - Absolute or relative path to the *.node file (including its name).
int group - Priority group. Greater priority means faster loading. The default value is 0.
float weight - Weight of the priority inside the group. Greater weight means faster loading inside the same priority group. The default value is 0.0f.

Return value

int removeFile ( int id ) #

Removes the given file from the loading queue or from the list of loaded files, if it was already loaded.

NoticeIf the specified file is currently loading, it will be removed after the loading operation is completed.

Arguments

int id - Loading operation identifier (see the loadFile() method).

Return value

1 if the file is successfully removed; otherwise, 0.

int removeImage ( int id ) #

Removes the given image from the loading queue or from the list of loaded images, if it was already loaded.

NoticeIf the specified image is currently loading, it will be removed after the loading operation is completed.

Arguments

int id - Loading operation identifier (see the loadImage() method).

Return value

1 if the image is successfully removed; otherwise, 0.

int removeMesh ( int id ) #

Removes the given mesh from the loading queue or from the list of loaded meshes, if it was already loaded.

NoticeIf the specified mesh is currently loading, it will be removed after the loading operation is completed.

Arguments

int id - Loading operation identifier (see the loadMesh() method).

Return value

1 if the mesh is successfully removed; otherwise, 0.

int removeNode ( int id ) #

Removes the given node from the loading queue or from the list of loaded nodes, if it was already loaded.

NoticeIf the specified node is currently loading, it will be removed after the loading operation is completed. Nodes are removed with all their hierarchy.

Arguments

int id - Loading operation identifier (see the loadNode() method).

Return value

1 if the node is removed successfully; otherwise, 0.

Ptr<Image> takeImage ( int id ) #

Returns the image loaded by the specified operation and removes it from the list of loaded images.

Arguments

int id - Loading operation identifier (see the loadImage() method).

Return value

Image smart pointer.

Ptr<Mesh> takeMesh ( int id ) #

Returns the mesh loaded by the specified operation and removes it from the list of loaded meshes.

Arguments

int id - Loading operation identifier (see the loadMesh() method).

Return value

Mesh smart pointer.
