Save/Load Systems

[Kakerate]

Relating to Save/Load systems used in various RPG maps in war3, how can you determine whether two versions of a map have compatible save systems? Assume you are testing this for the same maps. Where in the script for the save/load system can you see differences? I honestly know very little about how they work in Warcraft, I am thinking that save systems can be used from one map's old version to the new one, correct? As long as the actually code for the save system wasn't changed. Could anyone help me with this topic. Many thanks.

For a save code to work across maps everything it loads (units, items etc..) must have the same Raw ID in each map.

There is actually a great tutorial that will teach you how save/load works ;0

click the interactive link and open the map in wc3, then just go through it. You'll understand what save/load is and you'll be able to answer all of your questions too ^)^.

as long as the rawcodes are the same, and you haven't add/removed anything from the things to be saved/loaded, it should work fine...

Like:

Version 1: You save only Hero and items

Version 2: You saved hero,items and gold

Then using most of the systems out there, it wouldn't work since you added another data to be saved/loaded on version 2... not sure about Nestharus' system

Don't read the post, click the link like I told you and open the map, lol

The info in the post is crap :\

What's wrong with it? I did download the map, but inside the folders I don't know what I'm supposed to look at really.
