Uh.. really advanced question o-o saving multi-animpos?

[Hblade]

[What I have now causes a hang in game-editor eventhough the process isn't loading o.O]

Maybe it's simple but... While writing the save script for the level, I came across something that disturbs me. I have a max of 250,000 tiles (500x500). the problem: I want to be able to save every animpos of each tile o.O My variables:

Code: Select all

#define TILES_X 500
#define TILES_Y 500

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

  int
  mapSizeX,              mapSizeY,
  tileWidth,             tileHeight,
  GRIDSIZE,              tilePos[TILES_X][TILES_Y],
  layerCreated[4],       tileAnimpos[250000];
 
    //Allows up to 250000 tiles (500*500) to be placed for large, advanced maps.
 
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


I need to know how each layer of tiles can have saved animpos o-o

I'm not using save vars I'm using a method sky showed me with FILE* (For editing configuration settigns)


EDIT:
I'm thinking this:

Code: Select all

map_save (char* filename)
{
    FILE* file = fopen(filename, "w");
 
    if(file != NULL)
    {
        int i, j, k;
        for(i=0;i<TILES_Y;i++)
        {
            for(j=0;j<TILES_X;j++)
            {
                fprintf(file, "%d, ", tilePos[TILES_X][TILES_Y]);
            }
            fprintf(file, "\n");
        }
        fprintf(file, "Mapx:%d\nMapy: %d\ntileWidth: %d\ntileHeight: %d\nGridSize: %d\n(Do not modify the following)\nlayer1:%d\nlayer2:%d\nlayer3:%d\nlayer4:%d\n", mapSizeX, mapSizeY, tileWidth, tileHeight, GRIDSIZE, layerCreated[0], layerCreated[1], layerCreated[2], layerCreated[3]);
        for(k=0;k<250000;k++)
        {
            fprintf(file, "tileAnimPos:%d\ntileAnimPos:%d\ntileAnimPos:%d\ntileAnimPos:%d\n", tileAnimpos[layerCreated[0]][k],tileAnimpos[layerCreated[1]][k],tileAnimpos[layerCreated[2]][k],tileAnimpos[layerCreated[3]][k]);
        }
        fclose(file);
    }
}


after changing the code at the top to this:

Code: Select all

#define TILES_X 500
#define TILES_Y 500

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

  int
  mapSizeX,              mapSizeY,
  tileWidth,             tileHeight,
  GRIDSIZE,              tilePos[TILES_X][TILES_Y],
  layerCreated[4],       tileAnimpos[4][250000];
 
    //Allows up to 250000 tiles (250*250) to be placed for large, advanced maps.

Your fprintf is bound to fail. It is always trying to print tilePos[500][500] which doesn't exist. I believe you mean to put the loop integers within the tilePos.

[Hblade]

haha oops. Forgot about pointers haha... fprintf(file, "%d, ", &tilePos[TILES_X][TILES_Y]); should do the trick if I remember right

[skydereign]

Actually no. That is only needed for fscanf. The problem is that TILES_X and TILES_Y are defined to be the number of indexes in the array. tilePos[TILES_X][TILES_Y] is out of bounds. You want to replace them with [i][j].

[Hblade]

Oh! *facepalm*

Wouldn't it be [j][[i] since i represents tileY and tileX Is j?

I'm here just to provide another method since learning your code takes time.

First of all, make the tile animation array in global code.

Code: Select all

int TileAnim[500][500];

Next, make the save and load function.

Code: Select all

void LoadTile(char Fname[32])
{
FILE *file 〓 fopen(Fname, "rb"); //let's just use binary for safety
int i, j;
for(i〓0;i<500;i++)
{
for(j〓0;j<500;j++)
{
fread(TileAnim[i][j],sizeof(int),1,file); //read the stored value
CreateActor("tile", "tileanimation", "(none)", "(none)", j*40, i*40, true); //40 is the tile width and height, the tile creation is started from 0,0 coordinate
}
}
fclose(file);
}

void SaveTile(char Fname[32])
{
FILE *file 〓 fopen(Fname, "wb");
int i,j,k;
Actor *check;
char str[32];
for(i〓0;i<250000;i++)
{
sprintf(str,"tile.%i",i);
check〓getclone(str); //get the actor clone
j〓i%500; //get the array column index
k〓i/500; //get the array row index
TileAnim[k][j]〓check->animpos; //store the animpos number
}
for(i〓0;i<500;i++)
{
for(j〓0;j<500;j++)
{
fwrite(TileAnim[i][j],sizeof(int),1,file); //store the values into file
}
}
fclose(file);
}

Next, let's set the tile animpos.
tile > CreateActor > ScriptEditor:

Code: Select all

int i,j;
ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", STOPPED);
i〓cloneindex%500;
j〓cloneindex/500;
animpos〓TileAnim[j][i];

Usage:

Code: Select all

LoadTile("mytile.dat"); //to load
//or
SaveTile("mytile.dat"); //to save

That's all.
Let me know if you have any question

Wow bee! Welcome back! Haven't seen you in ages! Also, well, thanks!
