[General] Looking for a JP EE Type Save/Load System

[C.B.King]

Basically, me and a friend, wanna Recreate a Jurassic Park EE Themed map, Due to current one having loads of bugs, and we cant fix asDue to SaMmM, not updated or been active over 6 years, and unable to contact SaMmM, to see if we can continue there map's original code.

We wanna basically ReCreate it, and to do so, need a JP Score Save/Load System.

Credit will be given to SaMmM for EE Style and PerfectlyInsane, For The original Open Source JP map, used to make EE.

Obviously, it isnt gonna be the Exact same, Map Design, will have more Biomes, so on

I am also making my own original that could do with a Save/Load system like this

Any save/load system would work. If you want code compatibility, you can lift the save/load script from the original map.

To get the original save/load system, use MPQEdit to extract the JASS map script file from the map file. One can then look through the JASS map script file for the save/load system and copy the functions across and patch them for compatibility. To find the save/load system it is usually sufficient to search for the key words it uses, such as "-save".

You may want to use a file I/O based save/load system for player convenience. These did not really exist 6 or more years ago.

I prob do something wrong, also JP EE does not use -save, at end of the game when either everyone is rescued or died it generates points and gives you a load

also Not any save/load will do, as they save hero and items and level, gold and lumber.

but on JP EE it only saves a Interger Variable, the number is based on your performance

and when you load if you got 135 JP points it unlocks a upgrade for you.

EDIT: by JASS Map Script File, do you mean the .j file

Save/load systems just save values. These values might be heroes, items and levels, but could also be points, score, kills, etc. How many values are saved and what they are is up to the person using the save/load system.

EDIT: by JASS Map Script File, do you mean the .j file

Yes. There is a single file containing the entire map script in JASS form. This is what WC3 compiles when the map is loaded.

yeah i tried, couldnt figure it out, how much to take, what parts to take so on.

This can be especially problematic if the map has been obfuscated. One has to manually trace the function call graphs and extract the functions individually.
