Re: [Adonthell-devel] Saving/Loading todos

[Chris Frey]

Hi Kai, All,

I need some help understanding the python::pass_instance() mechanisms.

When I try to add specie as a new savegame object, it gets stuck at this
point, and SWIG complains that it doesn't know what rpg::specie* is,
or, if I don't add a GET_TYPE_NAME() macro, it doesn't know what a
python::script* is.

This is because the base class, rpg::group(), is trying to instantiate
things with Python.

When it fails during runtime, SWIG shows a list of the types it knows,
and things like rpg::character are not listed.

I'm confused. :-)

Thanks,
- Chris
