[Trigger] Save & Load system

[Ironside]

Hello, I need a save & load system which is a little different from the ones I found in the spell section.

This system when player red writes -add TestPlayer then it will save TestPlayer to a string. Everytime this map starts it should automatically load all players who were ever added using the above method and then performing a certain action on them.

 

[Arhowk]

you can't because thatd require either local storage saving or modifying the map inside of wc3, which are both impossible

 

[Ironside]

So the RPG save & load systems use a way that's not possible for this case?

 

[Arhowk]

wtf are you asking

i read this as "Player types -addplayer, they exit and restart, the added player gets something special"

And that would require editing the game without giving the added player a special save code that allows him to load with those special privleges

 

[Ironside]

I was just assuming that if you can save special save codes it should probably be possible to save player names in a similar way, but guess I was wrong.

 

[Arhowk]

So you want to produce a save/load code that saves the player's name..?

 

[Ironside]

Just in any way possible save and load certain names through games.

-save "hi"

Add 1

Convert hi to ascii using Ascii from JASS section. Be sure to use BigInt for this as it will likely overflow w/o it.

Multiply first big int that has 1 in it by something really huge so that you can store large strings. You could possibly store the power in base 2 that way you can do unlimited string sizes with dynamic sizing. Add the BigInt that has the string.


Set base to something obscene so that players can't figure it out (big as well).


Apply Knuth Checksum.


Scramble.


Output code.



This seems kind of silly...


Also, if you want to do multiple strings, scrap the 1 and just continue loading them out until BigInt is 0 =).



There is no decent way to do this in GUI as it requires a BigInt library and a string -> ascii char converter. In GUI, it would be a massive nightmare ;o.

but why dont make a single thread/turorial and u can post there ur demonstration map (what reallly usefull) and then we can ask there?

There's no need for any sort of encryption in this system,as all it does is hold a list of player names.

There would be no point in that. If you just store the players names there's no values being saved. Using a system like Nestharus' Save/Load System to create a save code that holds the players hero and progress is the only way to save values that can be accessed later. Otherwise you just have a list of the names of players that used the command "-add player" in the game which is useless. Storing just the players name holds no real value other than their name.

Fine, guess I'll have to reveal what the system does before you'll understand it.

What this thing does is if red writes -blacklist Ironside then it will save the name.At the start of the map it would retrieve all the names ever saved.
Every name which is on the blacklist gets kicked immediately at map initialization.

this not possible

The only way to "blacklist" would be on one hosting bot. Sorry.

and also that too u must do manually same if u want ban player u must script it in we each time but since players if use a older map then can play without problem :/

 

[Ironside]

Oh well, thanks for all the answers to everyone then.

You CAN use local storage way. All you need is to use the preloader bug and allow local files. Also you can't synchronize strings between players and that can cause disconnection

The player not should be kicked by name but by an auto generated Game User ID.

 

[shadowvzs]

problem with maps are u cant sore any physical data after a playing session over, so after players let its can store any data, only during game play u can store temporaly variables but that valid only during playing :/

1 thing what could transfer data between 2 playing session and that is the save game but that not work in multiplayer maps

when we use save code its dont store to pc or into map any physical data, so map size dont will be longer just u do something like this
make unit array heroes[0....10] store all heroes then lead depend from index ofc u can encrypt etc but the thing is its load only fixed things what map maker already writed into map and load that fixed values and dont change anything physically in map file

You CAN use local storage way

i guess he want the map host on other pc's too not just on his pc

 

[Geries]

I am speaking of a WORKING and MULTIPLAYER method You can transfer data between "sessions", players and also maps. Just it is a bit difficult to make and lots of GetLocalPlayer calls

 

[shadowvzs]

if this still work still maybe have problem who dont have local files enable

[Geries]

that can be filtered easily if he does not have locals enabled, but you can't enable it ingame, or set a constant GUID. It is not a solution to kick everyone who disabled locals :/ Yea you exactly pointed out this disadvantage.
