API Function: add_unq_binding

Summary:

register an object type with the MapD

Defined In LPC Object:

/usr/common/sys/mapd.c

Prototype:

void add_unq_binding(string tag_name, string tag_path)

Can Be Called By:

System, Common, Game

Description:

Registers an object type with MapD. This is how the room binder file works as well. From the time of this registration, an object added with add_unq_text_rooms may use the name given by tag_name as a valid object type.

This is currently of limited use for the current file format, since the bindings are hardcoded into the DTD files. By either changing the DTDs are changing the way parsing works, you can alter this. Phantasmal will do so in the near future.

Return Value:

None.

Errors:

Registering an already-registered tag will cause an error. So will giving a tag_path to an object that doesn't exist or won't compile.
