Loading and creating resources | |
template<typename ResourceType > | |
static ezTypedResourceHandle< ResourceType > | LoadResource (ezStringView sResourceID) |
Returns a handle to the requested resource. szResourceID must uniquely identify the resource, different spellings / casing will result in different resources. More... | |
template<typename ResourceType > | |
static ezTypedResourceHandle< ResourceType > | LoadResource (ezStringView sResourceID, ezTypedResourceHandle< ResourceType > hLoadingFallback) |
Same as LoadResource(), but additionally allows to set a priority on the resource and a custom fallback resource for this instance. More... | |
static ezTypelessResourceHandle | LoadResourceByType (const ezRTTI *pResourceType, ezStringView sResourceID) |
Same as LoadResource(), but instead of a template argument, the resource type to use is given as ezRTTI info. Returns a typeless handle due to the missing template argument. | |
static bool | IsAnyLoadingInProgress () |
Checks whether any resource loading is in progress. | |
static ezString | GenerateUniqueResourceID (ezStringView sResourceIDPrefix) |
Generates a unique resource ID with the given prefix. More... | |
template<typename ResourceType , typename DescriptorType > | |
static ezTypedResourceHandle< ResourceType > | CreateResource (ezStringView sResourceID, DescriptorType &&descriptor, ezStringView sResourceDescription=nullptr) |
Creates a resource from a descriptor. More... | |
template<typename ResourceType , typename DescriptorType > | |
static ezTypedResourceHandle< ResourceType > | GetOrCreateResource (ezStringView sResourceID, DescriptorType &&descriptor, ezStringView sResourceDescription=nullptr) |
Returns a handle to the resource with the given ID if it exists or creates it from a descriptor. More... | |
template<typename ResourceType > | |
static ezTypedResourceHandle< ResourceType > | GetExistingResource (ezStringView sResourceID) |

static void | PreloadResource (const ezTypelessResourceHandle &hResource) |
Triggers loading of the given resource. tShouldBeAvailableIn specifies how long the resource is not yet needed, thus allowing other resources to be loaded first. This is only a hint and there are no guarantees when the resource is available. | |
static void | ForceLoadResourceNow (const ezTypelessResourceHandle &hResource) |
Similar to locking a resource with 'BlockTillLoaded' acquire mode, but can be done with a typeless handle and does not return a result. | |

Returns the current loading state of the given resource. | |
Reloading resources | |
static ezUInt32 | ReloadAllResources (bool bForce) |

Calls ReloadResource() on the given resource, but makes sure that the reload happens with the given custom loader. More... | |
static void | RestoreResource (const ezTypelessResourceHandle &hResource) |
Removes the 'PreventFileReload' flag and forces a reload on the resource. More... | |
Acquiring resources | |
template<typename ResourceType > | |
static ResourceType * | BeginAcquireResource (const ezTypedResourceHandle< ResourceType > &hResource, ezResourceAcquireMode mode, const ezTypedResourceHandle< ResourceType > &hLoadingFallback=ezTypedResourceHandle< ResourceType >(), ezResourceAcquireResult *out_pAcquireResult=nullptr) |
Acquires a resource pointer from a handle. Prefer to use ezResourceLock, which wraps BeginAcquireResource / EndAcquireResource. More... | |
static ezResource * | BeginAcquireResourcePointer (const ezRTTI *pType, const ezTypelessResourceHandle &hResource) |
Same as BeginAcquireResource but only for the base resource pointer. | |
template<typename ResourceType > | |
static void | EndAcquireResource (ResourceType *pResource) |
Needs to be called in concert with BeginAcquireResource() after accessing a resource has been finished. Prefer to use ezResourceLock instead. | |

Same as EndAcquireResource but without the template parameter. See also BeginAcquireResourcePointer. | |
static void | ForceNoFallbackAcquisition (ezUInt32 uiNumFrames=0xFFFFFFFF) |
Forces the resource manager to treat ezResourceAcquireMode::AllowLoadingFallback as ezResourceAcquireMode::BlockTillLoaded on BeginAcquireResource. | |
static ezUInt32 | GetForceNoFallbackAcquisition () |
If the returned number is greater 0 the resource manager treats ezResourceAcquireMode::AllowLoadingFallback as ezResourceAcquireMode::BlockTillLoaded on BeginAcquireResource. | |
template<typename ResourceType > | |
static ezLockedObject< ezMutex, ezDynamicArray< ezResource * > > | GetAllResourcesOfType () |
Retrieves an array of pointers to resources of the indicated type which are loaded at the moment. Destroy the returned object as soon as possible as it holds the entire resource manager locked. | |
Miscellaneous | |
static ezMutex & | GetMutex () |
Returns the resource manager mutex. Allows to lock the manager on a thread when multiple operations need to be done in sequence. | |
static void | PerFrameUpdate () |
Must be called once per frame for some bookkeeping. | |

Named resources | |
static void | RegisterNamedResource (ezStringView sLookupName, ezStringView sRedirectionResource) |
Registers a 'named' resource. When a resource is looked up using szLookupName, the lookup will be redirected to szRedirectionResource. More... | |
static void | UnregisterNamedResource (ezStringView sLookupName) |
Removes a previously registered name from the redirection table. | |
Asset system interaction | |
static void | RegisterResourceForAssetType (ezStringView sAssetTypeName, const ezRTTI *pResourceType) |
Registers which resource type to use to load an asset with the given type name. | |
static const ezRTTI * | FindResourceForAssetType (ezStringView sAssetTypeName) |
Returns the resource type that was registered to handle the given asset type for loading. nullptr if no resource type was registered for this asset type. | |
Export mode | |
static void | EnableExportMode (bool bEnable) |
Enables export mode. In this mode the resource manager will assert when it actually tries to load a resource. This can be useful when exporting resource handles but the actual resource content is not needed. | |
static bool | IsExportModeEnabled () |
Returns whether export mode is active. | |
template<typename ResourceType > | |
static ezTypedResourceHandle< ResourceType > | GetResourceHandleForExport (ezStringView sResourceID) |
Creates a resource handle for the given resource ID. This method can only be used if export mode is enabled. Internally it will create a resource but does not load the content. This way it can be ensured that the resource handle is always only the size of a pointer. | |
Resource Type Overrides | |
static void | RegisterResourceOverrideType (const ezRTTI *pDerivedTypeToUse, ezDelegate< bool(const ezStringBuilder &)> overrideDecider) |
Registers a resource type to be used instead of any of it's base classes, when loading specific data. More... | |

[internal] Used by ezResource to register a cleanup function to be called at resource manager shutdown. | |
static void | ClearResourceCleanupCallback (ResourceCleanupCB cb) |
static void | ExecuteAllResourceCleanupCallbacks () |
This will clear ALL resources that were registered as 'missing' or 'loading' fallback resources. This is called early during system shutdown to clean up resources. | |
Resource Priorities | |
template<typename RESOURCE_TYPE > | |
static void | SetResourceTypeDefaultPriority (ezResourcePriority priority) |
Specifies which resource to use as a loading fallback for the given type, while a resource is not yet loaded. | |
The central class for managing all types derived from ezResource.
|
static |
Acquires a resource pointer from a handle. Prefer to use ezResourceLock, which wraps BeginAcquireResource / EndAcquireResource.
hResource | The resource to acquire |
mode | The desired way to acquire the resource. See ezResourceAcquireMode for details. |
hLoadingFallback | A custom fallback resource that should be returned if hResource is not yet available. Allows to use domain specific knowledge to get a better fallback. |
Priority | Allows to adjust the priority of the resource. This will affect how fast the resource is loaded, in case it is not yet available. |
out_AcquireResult | Returns how successful the acquisition was. See ezResourceAcquireResult for details. |
|
static |
Goes through all existing resources and broadcasts the 'Exists' event.
Used to announce all currently existing resources to interested event listeners (ie tools).
|
static |
|
static |
Creates a resource from a descriptor.
szResourceID | The unique ID by which the resource is identified. E.g. in GetExistingResource() |
descriptor | A type specific descriptor that holds all the information to create the resource. |
szResourceDescription | An optional description that might help during debugging. Often a human readable name or path is stored here, to make it easier to identify this resource. |
|
static |
Generates a unique resource ID with the given prefix.
Provide a prefix that is preferably not used anywhere else (i.e., closely related to your code). If the prefix is not also used to manually generate resource IDs, this function is guaranteed to return a unique resource ID.
|
static |
Returns a handle to the resource with the given ID. If the resource does not exist, the handle is invalid.
Use this if a resource needs to be created procedurally (with CreateResource()), but might already have been created. If the returned handle is invalid, then just go through the resource creation step.
|
static |
Returns a handle to the resource with the given ID if it exists or creates it from a descriptor.
szResourceID | The unique ID by which the resource is identified. E.g. in GetExistingResource() |
descriptor | A type specific descriptor that holds all the information to create the resource. |
szResourceDescription | An optional description that might help during debugging. Often a human readable name or path is stored here, to make it easier to identify this resource. |
|
static |
Events on individual resources. Subscribe to this to get a notification for events happening on any resource. If you are only interested in events for a specific resource, subscribe on directly on that instance.
|

|
static |
Returns a handle to the requested resource. szResourceID must uniquely identify the resource, different spellings / casing will result in different resources.
After the call to this function the resource definitely exists in memory. Upon access through BeginAcquireResource / ezResourceLock the resource will be loaded. If it is not possible to load the resource it will change to a 'missing' state. If the code accessing the resource cannot handle that case, the application will 'terminate' (that means crash).
|
static |
Same as LoadResource(), but additionally allows to set a priority on the resource and a custom fallback resource for this instance.
Pass in ezResourcePriority::Unchanged, if you only want to specify a custom fallback resource. If a resource priority is specified, the target resource will get that priority. If a valid fallback resource is specified, the resource will store that as its instance specific fallback resource. This will be used when trying to acquire the resource later.
|
static |
Registers a 'named' resource. When a resource is looked up using szLookupName, the lookup will be redirected to szRedirectionResource.
This can be used to register a resource under an easier to use name. For example one can register "MenuBackground" as the name for "{ E50DCC85-D375-4999-9CFE-42F1377FAC85 }". If the lookup name already exists, it will be overwritten.
|
static |
Registers a resource type to be used instead of any of it's base classes, when loading specific data.
When resource B is derived from A it can be registered to be instantiated when loading data, even if the code specifies to use a resource of type A. Whenever LoadResource<A>() is executed, the registered callback OverrideDecider is run to figure out whether B should be instantiated instead. If OverrideDecider returns true, B is used.
OverrideDecider is given the resource ID after it has been resolved by the ezFileSystem. So it has to be able to make its decision from the file path, name or extension. The override is registered for all base classes of pDerivedTypeToUse, in case the derivation hierarchy is longer.
Without calling this at startup, a derived resource type has to be manually requested in code.
|
static |
Calls ezResource::ResetResource() on all resources.
This is mostly for usage in tools to reset resource whose state can be modified at runtime, to reset them to their original state.
|
static |
Removes the 'PreventFileReload' flag and forces a reload on the resource.
|
static |
Calls ezResource::UpdateContent() to fill the resource with 'low resolution' data.
This will early out, if the resource has gotten low-res data before. The resource itself may ignore the data, if it has already gotten low/high res data before.
The typical use case is, that some other piece of code stores a low-res version of a resource to be able to get a resource into a usable state. For instance, a material may store low resolution texture data for every texture that it references. Then when 'loading' the textures, it can pass this low-res data to the textures, such that rendering can give decent results right away. If the textures have already been loaded before, or some other material already had low-res data, the call exits quickly.
|
static |
Sets the resource loader to use for the given resource type.
|
inlinestatic |
Specifies which resource to use as a missing fallback for the given type, when a resource cannot be loaded.
|
static |
Unregisters pDerivedTypeToUse as an override resource.
|
static |
Calls ReloadResource() on the given resource, but makes sure that the reload happens with the given custom loader.
Use this e.g. with a ezResourceLoaderFromMemory to replace an existing resource with new data that was created on-the-fly. Using this function will set the 'PreventFileReload' flag on the resource and thus prevent further reload actions.
