[Trigger] Save/Load Issues - AceHart's system

Status
Not open for further replies.
Well I finally got items to save and load working again after a while...
Now it won't save and load stats properly, but it does everything else correctly.
The events are added from another trigger, so that is not the reason this doesn't work.

EDIT: It can't take number values past 400 it seems.... I thought it supported more then 30 items and past 400..... owell. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

Indeed Statharas... Though I doubt this will work anyways, AceHart even said it is flawed. I just wanted to see if anyone knew a way to make it save a bit more data then how limited it is already.

Nestharus it is the hero stats.... An array that does the hero stats because if I just saved normal stats then many glitches and exploits will happen. So yeah..... they're the same thing.

EDIT: I just got an idea, could I split up the code because since it has a maximum could I loop around it by making it do 5-7 codes for everything instead of trying one giant code...?

Bump, AceHart's Save/Load only does up to 1M values right? How do the values add up?

if its level + items for example.

then level 10+ with items in the array of 10+ and then with 5-6 items as well with level 10+.... It shouldn't work yet it does...

10 + 6 more values of 10 = higher then 1 million isn't it?
Or do they convert into values of 2? Even so that should still hit 1M+
 
Just to give a reminder, PipeDream's save/load system is buggy. If you use it, you will receive complaints about codes that don't work =), I can guarantee it.

During division, it carries and what not (long division). However, what it carries can easily go over the 32 bit limit of an integer, meaning that it overflows. This results in incorrect numbers being read out of the code.

Only PipeDream's save/load system has this issue.

Just a warning, but if you do use it, I can guarantee that your codes will be broken ^_^, a good portion of them anyways. It doesn't always happen, it's % chance, so only a good portion of your codes will be broken, not all of them. If PipeDream's thing were to move to BigInt, this would fix the problem, but even the current edition of BigInt isn't 100% accurate. It's only good up to 275 character long codes, which is more than twice the max save/load code you can have, so you'll never run into a bad code =o. The new version of BigInt is 100% accurate regardless of size =).
