[JASS] Help! ^^

[madcd]

It happened on one not so stormy or rainy night that I had a brainwave.

Most wc3 RPG's with save load systems suffer the dreaded server crash at unexpected times. Leading to horrendous loos of chars and progress,. however, what if one was able to change the server disconnected message to a save code?

So I thought about it, you would need a trigger to update the save code variable that ran before the server crashed, then you would need to set the game interface value to that save code.

So I wenta bout my jolly way and I found that the data for custom game interface data is stored in war3mapSkin.txt and that this links to war3map.wts as a variable, what if you were able to modify any of the above files so that you could reference a global variable and change the message during runtime?

I don't really know JASS so if anyone knows of a way, it would help everyone methinks.

umm as I know "change the server disconnected message to a save code?" is really imposible

Its not possible. This is because it won't let you reference a variable in the custom interface data.
However I think (Not sure, never tested) that the game has a method of detecting a server crash.

• Events
  • Game - State Divine Intervention becomes Equal to 1

Perhaps that runs a split second before it tells you about the server disconnection?

Theres also

• Events
  • Game - State Disconnected becomes Equal to 1

If that doesn't work maybe this one does !?

I'll have to give that a go.

+rep for you

Well, what I did to counter the disconnection problems, is a (local) leaderboard for each player which would display their save codes. It would also update itself each 5 minutes. So if you disconnect, you can still see the leaderboard
