so iv looked through conquest, but it seems conquest only saves single player parms.. iv been looking through prydons src and cant seem to find the qc file/ function which handles saving and loading of stats/inventory. if someone could point either of these out i'd be very thankful.

Conquest uses frik file to save parms , to use this for the parms is very easy but will not work in all engines (work´s in dp ). About frik file you can write something like this in decodelevelparms

Code: Select all

	    local float readparms;
    local string readtext;

    readparms = fopen ("ceriux.in3d", FILE_READ);   // dont use "txt" extension because is easily to edit ^^ 
    if (readparms < 0)//if file not found
        {
        objerror("Error: file not found.\n");//error
        localcmd("disconnect");
        return;
        }
//now to keep your stats, read the stuff you just wrote
    readtext = fgets(readparms);                //read the text
    self.items  = stof(readtext);        //turn the text into the float u want (by using stof: string to float)
...

etc..

so using this i could save parms that could be reloaded in multiplayer servers? cause after testing conquest i found that my items/inventory wasn't saved.

also frik file cannot save floats? just parms?

frik file is reading a float like a parm, you can save floats, strings (and vectors) in frik_file. I do not know how frik file´s conquest works. But (for example in this incomplete code) the inventory is not saved in the .sav file is saved in "data/ceriux.in3d". If you have the current file/s the inventory will be reloaded in the game. Frik file is very simple and great, if you want i can write and release a simple and clean code to show how frik file works saving parms, strings, vectors and floats

that would be amazing man, i can kind of see how it works. but some of it is confusing. because i'm thinking i would only be able to save parms looking at prydon and conquest. however if i am able to load floats as well as parms what i want to do seems far more achievable. dp's wiki also gives a bit of info on what the functions for frik file do, but seeing them used in a clean environment would be extremely helpful.

also a secondary question, it seems looking through prydons src you can have up to 300+ it_items? (1-3xx) this is correct?

Hello ceriux, here you have a very clean qc 1.06 example to use frik_file

http://www.mediafire.com/?szo8y53w049j33j

currently i am using just floats to have the current values for parms. But not for the parm1, parm2 and parm4 because i have strange bugs i use this (because are used in SetNewParms

)

with this code i am using just 3 parms to have all the values of items and weapons in quake. I just add two files : qc/dpextensions.qc and data/frik_file.txt (you can rename it with any name or extension) . I modified just client.qc the touch of trigger_changelevel write the values (writefirst function) to call "changelevel_touch();" The code is based in a tuto of "behind_you" http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3436 but it´s fixed. but have a little glitch. If you are runing intermissions and type "map ***" you will load the parms from frikfile plus the values from "setnewparms". Obviously you can fix the code

quick question once gain your clean src shows that you're using the parms. yes your loading them through the floats, but lets say i made my own floats which werent used by the parms. would it also save and load those with no problems?

Sure, you donot have problems using your own floats
