Topic: Save/Load System V3.0 (Read 2246 times)

chebob69 · « **on:** May 13, 2010, 01:37:34 AM »

Thought I'd bump this old project with an update. I've basically redone V2.0 to make it more efficient.

Instead of having a script running constantly to handle all the variables and the saving and loading, all information is handled by counter objects and eventoninput objects are used to run separate 'save' and 'load' scripts which run once before stopping themselves.

This not only makes the project more efficient, I hope it makes it more accessible to beginners. For those who need a recap, here are the links to the previous 2 versions:

v1.0 http://www.3drad.com/forum/index.php?topic=3760.0
v2.0 http://www.3drad.com/forum/index.php?topic=3891.0

Version 3 is based on the simple appearance of v1 and has as few objects as possible to save any confusion (if you want the menu and fade-in/fade-outs you'll have to try and copy from v2). It does use the same simple encryption as v2 though (follow v2 link for details on this).

Simply save and run the attached project. Some systems require rad to have admin priveledges to save a text file. Let me know of any bugs...

REQUIRES 3DRAD V6.46

I don't know why, but v3.0 crashes on my system at 7%.
After all, v2.0 works.

You probably need the lastest version of 3D Rad. Works fine for me.

Might be. I'm looking forward to v.6.46.
Thanks for reply, starkiller53861.

Sorry, I'll edit the post to say min 6.46

The older versions will be earlier versions of 3drad. v1.0 will probably be 6.43

It's O.K.
v.2.0 is rather fine and meets the needs of my game.
I was a bit surprised that such a good thingee you had made within 3D Rad.

lol, it's all very simple. well when you get v6.46, definitely try and use v3.0 as it should be a lot more efficient.

the encyption is good because it's incredibly basic (would be hard to much more advanced in angelscript), it's unique to each user because of the password and if you combine it with mixing up the save values to make no sense (e.g separate the position coordinates), it's incredibly hard to crack!

you should avoid using a similar system to save words in the textfile as the encryption may be studied for letter frequencies

. Second, I'm not sure if chebob is even around anymore.

In answer to your question, it is very possible to do.
