Finally… Took me way longer than I wanted, but given the circumstances, it was the possible timeline… And I can even go from binary to XML, which is good for hacking for tests… In the meantime, the artist finished the new version of the table assets, so I’m going to place that in the game, […]
The title says it all… Almost done, so I’ll probably be done tomorrow! Now listening to “Fireworks” by “Angra”
Still working on this (and hitting myself in the head for not doing a more common system for this in the beginning, more “abstract”). Anyway, reached an issue that will make the code altogether more complicated… On the XML loader, the player data (positions, weapons, etc) is stored in an XML node, so when loading […]
Note to self: always do ASCII/binary save game code in parallel, or using some sort of abstraction… :\ Actually, I usually do this, a bit more data-driven approach than with this game, but since this game is a the Frankenstein of games, I’m paying the cost (technological debt) yet again… This game would have been […]
New version of the savegames, now in binary, is complete… Used to take 2 to 9 seconds to make a save in XML, now it takes 50 ms… So, that’s a win! Next step, load the savegame, which should be the easy part… Would have been done by now, if I wasn’t still sorting some […]
The savegames on Gateway are taking a bit too long to execute (about 2 secs)… This is not a big issue, but it causes some stalls before and after a cutscene, and I dislike it… Besides, the first save I save, it takes 2 seconds, but the second (and the rest) takes 9 seconds, which […]
