IN game saving

BLACK_PHOENIX · Post by **BLACK_PHOENIX** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 11:06 am

can some one tell me how to script a npc conversation asking me whether i want to save.

eg,

i come to a npc or actor(computer) and i press a key to activate a conversation. the npc asks me to save.

i have 2 options; cancel and save

if i click on cancel it quits the conversation and resumes the game
if i click save then i choose a slot to save in a mini menu and save. then i click ok and it resumes the game.

i also want to know how to make an entity a save. so when i go over it or i finish the level it asks me to save.

To my knowledge saving can't be scripted. At least I don't remember anyone doing that...

The only saving rf can do in game via scripts is saving attributes to a file. But I don't think it has a feature to load attributes from a file

the in-game loading doesent matter as long as the game can produce a save file wich i can load from the menu.

Yeah well, that's the problem. I believe there is no way to produce that save file with a script... The only way to do that is to save manually in the menu.

sorry, no. I don't want to make change without a sense. What is the purpouse of the change?

Anyway here's the link of a standard (not Tokaphysics powered) build of RF including the LoadAttributeEntity and SaveAttributeEntity lowlevel command:
http://files.filefront.com/RealityFacto ... einfo.html[FIXED]

SaveAttributesEntity(char *szSaveFile,char *EntityName)
LoadAttributesEntity(char *szSaveFile,char *EntityName)

it saves and loads the attributes of the specified pawn. I suggest to combine the szSaveFile (the name of the file containing the attributes) with EntityName of the pawn. For example:
SaveAttributesEntity(EntityName # ".ini",EntityName);
will write, if the pawn is named for example MY_PAWN, a file name MY_PAWN.ini containing the attributes and their values.
I hope this was what you and Juutis were looking for.

Hey this is awesome! Is it the latest RF version?

Post by **federico** » Sun Nov 12, 2006 3:48 pm

sorry I was probably out of mind because I packed and sent the debug build of RF (that's why it was searching for a "_d.dll" file).

I fixed the link in the previous post. The new link is:
http://files.filefront.com/RealityFacto ... einfo.html

Yes it should be the last version of RF, anyway it's the last source released.
