IdGameLocal Sequences

The idGameLocal game object has a set of methods, which are called by the closed source code. The sequence of this calls depends on the game situation, so this is what I observed so far.

Fresh Game Startup

• idGameLocal()
  • Clear()
• Init()

During Main Menu

• HandleMainMenuCommands()

When starting a map afresh

• MapShutdown()
  • MapClear()
• InitFromNewMap()
  • MapShutdown() - if we have a previously loaded map
  • LoadMap()
  • MapPopulate() - spawns entities

When loading a savegame

• MapShutdown()
  • MapClear()
• InitFromSavegame()
  • LoadMap()

When completing a mission

• MapShutdown()
  • MapClear()

When Quitting a map

• MapShutdown()
  • MapClear()

When Quitting the Game

• MapShutdown()
  • MapClear()
• Shutdown()
  • MapShutdown() - again
    • MapClear()
  • Clear()
