I have been searching for a save/load system for my RPG for some time now, trying different ones but none that really fits or im too much of a noob to edit them to work xD

Preferably it should save to a file so you dont need to write it down by yourself.

The codeless one is cool in here but the fact you need to enable locals (which doesnt seem to work for me or i was looking at an old guide to it) and there are only 5 save slots does give it alot of drawback since i will have a lot more heroes available.

Does anyone know a solid system or use one for your own map that you would be willing to share?

I dont know jass so setup would need to be in GUI so i can add all heroes etc.

Preferably it would save:
1. Hero+abilities+items+stats+xp
2. Items stored in two different stashes.
3. Gold and Lumber

This is the last big thing i need to add before i have atleast a playable RPG map so would be extremely grateful if anyone would help me with this :D

I understand its a big ask but I cant really solve it myself.

Thanks in advance!

Codeless is your best option for GUI. You don't need to enable local files anymore, that has been gone for many patches now. Also, I don't think it has an actual limit of 5 heroes, you simply need to modify it to allow more. The system itself uses Events and easy to use functions which you can run whenever you'd like. So things like the Dialog menu are optional. You could have automatic saving/loading, use chat commands, etc.

I have a simplified version of the system in this thread as well as some solutions to possible issues you may run into:

Save/Load System For Interger Resource.

Basically, i wanna add a resource to a map, using multiboard, i know hwo to set up MB and the Interger and that perfectly, however i dunnow how to create a Save/Load for it. So You Get 50 Diamonds per 50 minutes, of game play, and want it to save to a Interger, so you get 300 total and then...

Ty so much! I will take a look at your version but might not be able to test until a couple of days. Would it be ok if I PM you any issues I have then or should I post here even if it takes a few days?

Click to expand...
So it doesn't really make sense to use my barebones demo map seeing as how everything you want to Save is already covered in the Codeless map. But you could use it as a reference and learn from it.

Also, it's okay to post here.

Ok, so I run into some trobule immediately xD

First it wouldnt load but found in other posts that you needed to change Aerial Shackle to level 2 and tooltip to !.

But now it works to load but it sets gold and lumber to 0 and hero level to 49 when its supposed to be 150. The XP values are correct in the Save Init. Everything else seems to load correct. Though I havnt tried to add the stashes yet which might be problematic for me to do.

Can you spot something wrong?

Your SaveMaxValue is pretty low for some of these fields. That limits the integer being saved to that given value so if you had 5000 gold you'd only save 100.

Also, make sure when testing that you exit Warcraft 3 completely. Restarting the map will break the system.

Other than that, I don't know.

Ok, so the levels did become right after changing the values and restarting wc3 before loading, however gold and lumber still loads 0 :(


EDIT: I think everything is solved. Atleast it worked once with both Gold, Lumber and a Stash unit :)
