Saving

Posted by Bountywolf

Hey size could you take a look at this I'm confused as to why it isnt saving. I used most of the scripts you had in blocks edited all of them to remove sparse objects and add some other stuff.But thats bout it
if (global.tilegeneration = true){
world_save();
}
if (y = 0 or x = 0 or x = 3168 or y = 3168){
world_save();
}
if (y = room_height) {
global.tileGeneration = false;
global.server1 = 'Online';
world_save();
gms_ini_game_write('globals','Generation',global.tilegeneration);
}
Heres a simplified version of the world generater just took out the generator parts so you can see the saving parts.

im sure the debug message comes up heres the code in world_save
show_debug_message("Starting save!")
gms_bdb_open(get_bdb_index_for_current_session(), true, on_save_world)
idk why it isnt saving

How about on_save_world, does that script get executed? Can you post the code in on_save_world?

var fid = argument0

gms_bdb_seek(fid, 0)

with obj_world_controller
{
var width = ds_grid_width(layer[0])
var height = ds_grid_height(layer[0])

// Version number. Increase when adding new features to the save data.
// Update on_read_world with an if data_version > ... that reads the new data.
var version = 2

// Header
gms_bdb_write(fid, bdb_u8, version)
gms_bdb_write(fid, bdb_u16, width)
gms_bdb_write(fid, bdb_u16, height)

for(var xpos = 0; xpos < width; xpos++)
{
for(var ypos = 0; ypos < height; ypos++)
{
var i = 0;
if version >= 2
{
while(i + 1 < LAYER_COUNT)
{
// One way to reduce save size is to bitback values.
// You can use this to pack two or more layers that only have blockIDs up to 16 into 1 u8/byte.
// This makes the savefile 50% smaller!
var packed = bitpack_2x4bits(ds_grid_

get(layer[i], xpos, ypos), ds_grid_get(layer[i + 1], xpos, ypos));
gms_bdb_write(fid, bdb_u8, packed)
i += 2
}
}

while(i < LAYER_COUNT)
{
// Using u8 (= 1 byte) for saving block types
// u8 is the smallest data type available
// Try to keep it as small as possible to allow for fast loading times!
gms_bdb_write(fid, bdb_u8, ds_grid_get(layer[i], xpos, ypos))

i++;
}
}
}

// Save the total size we used (in bytes) so we can draw it
world_size = gms_bdb_tell(fid)
}

show_debug_message("World saved!")
gms_show_message("World saved!")
As I said earlier I used the blocks example for a saving ystem

Might have fallen off while copying it here, but your code is missing a call to gms_bdb_close. Please double-check whether it's still in your original code.

I added it, but it still doesn't work care to takea look at the project?

Sure. Send it to gamemakerserver@outlook.com

I don't see any issues with this code. Are you sure that world_save gets executed at all?
