Configurable Activities

[heinezen]

Makes the activity system configurable with nyan.

• Converter: Configure activities as abilities for game entities
  • Load new nyan data API objects (see nyan data API v0.4.1 #1608)
  • Assign default activity to game entity definitions in modpack
  • Export new engine modpack version
• Activity system
  • Define condition/event function per branch for XorGate/XorEventGate
  • Add built-in condition functions
  • Add built-in event primer functions
• Entity creation
  • Get data from activity objects from nyan API
  • Create activity from nyan definition
  • Cache created activities

progress!

shouldn't this be part of the xorgate node implementation instead of this central place? might be a suitable application of a std variant and stdvisit.

I don't want to integrate nyan too deep into the gamestate. That's why these helper classes exist as a kind of layer between nyan and openage. I think this also makes it easier to maintain the API when we change it.

but isn't the xorgate node class the abstraction layer? so instead of having specific snippets here, having them more local to the specific code using it seems more local.

I don't think this would make more sense though. The function here is only used to traverse the activity graph defined in the modpack, so it doesn't have much to do with activities at runtime. It's only use is to create the runtime activity from the nyan definition. XorGate and the other nodes have their own internal next function for traversing the runtime graph.
