wow魔兽世界服务端主体结构
服务端主要由三大块组成,数据库、服务端逻辑、脚本。数据库用的MySQL,这里不是很要害暂且不说。脚本有自己的脚本引擎,简单的任务、战斗等都可以通过数据库配置相应条目来完成,复杂的战斗AI等在脚本库中由C++直接写成,这个脚本库是要被编译为机器代码的,执行效率相当高效,例如巫妖王的战斗比较复杂就用C++写,其它简单的就配置在数据库中由脚本引擎来驱动执行。AZ服务端是一个多线程、逻辑单线程的服务端。每个线程内部都摘用循环结构,主线程启动后将创建多个工作线程,主要包括负责游戏世界运作的核心线程,具有处理用户请求,执行定时器的能力。其它几个工作线程还有网络Io,该线程启动后其内部将使用线程池进行网络Io操作,不间断地接收数据包,并存储到相关玩家的消息队列中,由世界线程进行处理,其它几个工作线程先不讨论,看mangos的源代码.务端启动后这些线程将永不停息地工作。世界线程是服务器的核心,负责处理所有玩家操作请求,定时器、AI等。以下是世界线程启动后执行的代码:
/// Heartbeat for the Worldvoid WorldRunnable::run()
///- Init new SQL thread for the world database
WorldDatabase.ThreadStart(); // let thread do safe mySQL requests (one connection call enough) sWorld.InitResultQueue();
uint32 realCurrTime = 0;
uint32 realPrevTime = WorldTimer::tick();
uint32 prevSleepTime = 0; // used for balanced full tick time length near WORLD_SLEEP_CONST
///- While we have not World::m_stopEvent, update the world

while (!World::IsStopped())
++World::m_worldLoopCounter;
realCurrTime = WorldTimer::getMSTime();
uint32 diff = WorldTimer::tick();
sWorld.Update(diff);
realPrevTime = realCurrTime;
// diff (D0) include time of previous sleep (d0) + tick time (t0)
// we want that next d1 + t1 == WORLD_SLEEP_CONST
// we can't know next t1 and then can use (t0 + d1) == WORLD_SLEEP_CONST requirement
// d1 = WORLD_SLEEP_CONST - t0 = WORLD_SLEEP_CONST - (D0 - d0) = WORLD_SLEEP_CONST + d0 - D0
if (diff = WORLD_SLEEP_CONST + prevSleepTime)
prevSleepTime = WORLD_SLEEP_CONST + prevSleepTime - diff;
ACE_Based::Thread::Sleep(prevSleepTime);
else
prevSleepTime = 0;
#ifdef WIN32
if (m_ServiceStatus == 0) World::StopNow(SHUTDOWN_EXIT_CODE);
while (m_ServiceStatus == 2) Sleep(1000);#endif
sWorld.CleanupsBeforeStop();
sWorldSocketMgr-StopNetwork();
MapManager::Instance().UnloadAll(); // unload all grids (including locked in memory)
///- End the database thread
WorldDatabase.ThreadEnd(); // free mySQL thread resources
这里先作一下阐明,这是世界线程的根循环结构,在while(!World::IsStopped())内部只有一个核心函数调用,其他都是一些掌握更新时间之类的代码,不用太关注:
sWorld.Update(diff);
sWorld是单一实例的World对象,它代表了整个游戏世界,和多数MMORPG一样,启动后进进根循环,在运行内部一直调用更新整个游戏世界的Update函数,服务端不停的Update游戏世界,每次Update能在100毫秒内完成,则客户端会感到非常顺畅。在根循环退出后,清理服务器相关资源,线程结束被回收。
到这里仅仅需要关注一个函数了,就是World的Update方法内部到底在干什么?

delete itr-second;
m_weathers.erase(itr++);

这是World::Update函数的全部代码,服务器循环执行这些代码,每一次执行就能更新一次游戏世界。这个函数看似比较长,实际上不算很长,其中的要害之处在于首先是依据定时器来执行特定的任务,而执行这些任务则是通过调用各个模块的Manager来完成,比如游戏世界里面的尸体每20分钟清除一次,就检测相关的定时器是否超时,超时则清理尸体,然后重置定时器。通过这些定时器,来执行游戏中由服务器主动完成的任务,这些任务基本上是通过定时器来启动的。游戏中的天气系统、PvP系统、地形系统等等都依据定时器指定的频率进行更新。除了更新各个模块之外,其中还有个非常重要的调用:
UpdateSessions(diff);
假如翻译过来就是更新所有会话,服务器端为每一个客户端建立一个Session,即会话,它是客户端与服务端沟通的通道,取数据、发数据都得通过这条通道,这样客户端和服务端才能沟通。在mangos的构架中,Session的作用非常重要,但其功能不仅仅取客户端发过来的数据、将服务端数据发给客户端那么简单,后面会陆续结束这个Session,很要害的东西,下面是UpdateSessions的具体实现:
void World::UpdateSessions(uint32 diff)
///- Add new sessions
WorldSession* sess;
while (addSessQueue.next(sess))
AddSession_(sess);
///- Then send an update signal to remaining ones
for (SessionMap::iterator itr = m_sessions.begin(), next; itr != m_sessions.end(); itr = next)
next = itr;
++next;
///- and remove not active sessions from the list
WorldSession* pSession = itr-second;
WorldSessionFilter updater(pSession);
if (!pSession-Update(updater))
RemoveQueuedSession(pSession);
m_sessions.erase(itr);
delete pSession;
其内部结构简单,主要遍历所有会话,移除不活动的会话,并调用每个Session的Update函数,达到更新所有Session的目的,有1000玩家在线就会更新1000个会话,前面提到了Session,每个会话的内部都挂载有一个消息队列,这里队列存储着从客户端发过来的数据包,1000个会话就会有1000个数据包队列,队列是由网络模块收到数据包后,将其挂载到相应Sesson的接收队列中,客户端1发来的数据包被挂载到Session1的队列,客户端2的就挂载到Session2的队列中。mangos的架构中Session不止是收发数据的进口,同样也是处理客户端数据的进口,即处理客户端请求的调度中心。每次Update Session的时候,这个Update 函数的内部会取出队列中所有的请求数据,循环地对每一个数据包调用数据包对应的处理代码,即依据数据包的类型(操作码OpCode)调用相应的函数进行处理,而这些“相应的函数”是Session内部的普通成员函数,以HandleXXXXXX开头,为了便于理解,将Session的Update函数主体核心代码写在这里:
bool WorldSession::Update(PacketFilter updater)
///- Retrieve packets from the receive queue and call the appropriate handlers
/// not process packets if socket already closed
WorldPacket* packet = NULL;
while (m_Socket !m_Socket-IsClosed() _recvQueue.next(packet, updater))
OpcodeHandler const opHandle = opcodeTable[packet-GetOpcode()];
ExecuteOpcode(opHandle, packet);
这样看起了比较清楚了,Session在Update的时候,取出所有数据包,每个数据包都有一个操作码,opcode,魔兽模拟器有1600多个操作码,玩家或者服务器的每个操作都有一个对应的操作码,比如进攻某个目的、拾取一件东西、使用某个物品都有操作码,被追加到数据包头部,这样每次取数据包的操作码,就可以查找相应的处理代码来处理这个数据包。
