About AGS "memory"

[Baguettator]

Hi there !

I wonder how many data can be stored in an AGS game.

In my game, I stock the data for maps that are displayed in-game (it simulates a tabletop game). All the maps have many data, including tokens' x/y/orientation, tiles' positions, etc... often randomized between several possibilities. Currently the game owns about 200 different maps, and I plan to add more and more. The maps are managed within a structure.

As it represents a HUGE amount of data, and because you can imagine easily that the game also manages characters (about 150), GUIS (about 100), other scripts etc... Here's my question :

Is there a limit when the engine is lagging because of too many data stored, or simply can't memorize more data because of limitation ?

Sorry if my question is a bit "noob-style", but I don't know anything about these things...

Here is my structure for the maps, to let you see how "huge" it is :

Code: ags

I wonder how many data can be stored in an AGS game.

This depends on the system you're running it on.

E.g. on Windows the engine is still distributed as a 32-bit app, which means that it cannot exceed 3 GB of RAM (iirc). If we build a 64-bit program, then it will allow much more. But it will never be able to surpass what the player has on their computer, obviously. If player has 2 GB RAM, that's it (and portion of that RAM will always be used by an operating system).

If you have a plain struct, then you dont have to guess, instead calculate the size of the struct. Your struct is mostly ints. One integer is 4 bytes. Sum up all the ints and arrays of ints you have, and you'll know how much it takes exactly.

If you have too much data, the general approach, for engines and games, is not to have literally everything loaded at the same time. Instead, have only 1 instance of a struct representing current location, and have actual data saved in files. Load one part of your world at a time, and replace it when the player moves outside.

In memory keep only things that may change. If that's convenient, you may make a second struct for that, having only data that can be changed, and have such structs for each "left" area where player may return to later. When player leaves the area, copy respective data from the "main" struct to the "memory" struct. When player enters previously visited area again, copy from "memory" struct to the "main" struct.

If that is also too much, there's still a resort: use disk cache. Basically, write the data for the inactive parts of the world to files, and read from these as player returns to them.

And since you are doing your own type of game, I strongly recommend considering custom saves instead of using AGS own saves: this way you will only save what your game actually needs.

Wow, thanks Crimson for your explanation !

If I consider I have 150 maps in my app, and if I calculate with 1 int = 4 byte, it means my 150 maps= 2482800bytes, so 2,5MB. Right ?

I don't know if it's a lot, and I should have to calculate for the whole data of my game. But is there an easy way to have this value (the total data of a game) displayed somewhere ?

Having very long script files is also impacting the RAM ?

When you talk about disk cache : what do you mean ? How to use that in AGS ?

If I understand you well, instead of having an array like cartes[150] that is initialized at game_start, I should have instead only one 'cartes' instance, and a function like :

Code: ags

function Creationcarte(int c)
{
  if (c==1) // code the map #1
  else if (c==2) // code the map #2
  // etc

  // Then, display the chosen map
}

This function could be called when a map has to be chosen, instead of creating 150 maps at game_start, and when needed, choosing 1 map and displaying it.

EDIT : when I run my game, I just had a look at the Task Manager, and it displays 408,5Mo in the Memory Section. Does it mean I'm using 408,5Mo over 3GB ? (I don't know the conversion from Mo to MB...).

EDIT 2 : I imagine that the main thing that takes place in memory are the sprites, right ? Maybe my struct, as it is, is very insignificant about my worries, even if I had 2000 instances of 'cartes' ?

EDIT 3 : I don't understand what are the custom saves. What's about ? Instead of AGS saves ?

[Crimson Wizard]

I don't know if it's a lot, and I should have to calculate for the whole data of my game.

I must admit that 2.5 MB is not a lot today, especially compared to the rest of the game data.

Having very long script files is also impacting the RAM ?

Yes, script are compiled, and compiled scripts are loaded by the engine fully. The bigger script is, the bigger memory it requires.
Usually script sizes are in kilobytes though, but this may be more if they also include large global arrays of fixed size.

When you talk about disk cache : what do you mean ? How to use that in AGS ?

Save data into the custom file, remove it from the variables. When necessary - load it back. There are file commands in ags script:
https://adventuregamestudio.github.io/ags-manual/File.html
But the disk cache is the last resort, you probably won't need this. Unless you are close to the game completion and found that your script data takes too much memory.

If I understand you well, instead of having an array like cartes[150] that is initialized at game_start, I should have instead only one 'cartes' instance, and a function like :

I mean rather - have these cartes stored in files, and loaded, as scripting everything in a function will likely require same memory. The point of this solution is to not have all of this data mentioned in script.
But this solution comes with extra problem: you need to save these files prior to using them in game. This means that you also need some kind of a "map editor", either scripted as a AGS game, or separate tool.
Alternatively, you may describe maps in a text format and parse them in script, for instance using IniFile module.

EDIT : when I run my game, I just had a look at the Task Manager, and it displays 408,5Mo in the Memory Section. Does it mean I'm using 408,5Mo over 3GB ?

That likely means your active process(es) are using 408 Mb total.
I think "Mo" is "Megabytes" in French?

EDIT 3 : I don't understand what are the custom saves. What's about ? Instead of AGS saves ?

You may save and load your own files from script. This way you can write only data that you need for your game to remember.
How to work with custom files in AGS:
https://adventuregamestudio.github.io/ags-manual/File.html

Again, this is an option, and you may look into this after you deal with other problems.

[Baguettator]

Oh, ok, I understand better.

Yes, script are compiled, and compiled scripts are loaded by the engine fully. The bigger script is, the bigger memory it requires.
Usually script sizes are in kilobytes though, but this may be more if they also include large global arrays of fixed size.

no problem, the greatest arrays in my game or < to 300, and there are not so much. So it shouldn't hurt the RAM.

Save data into the custom file, remove it from the variables. When necessary - load it back. There are file commands in ags script:
https://adventuregamestudio.github.io/ags-manual/File.html
But the disk cache is the last resort, you probably won't need this. Unless you are close to the game completion and found that your script data takes too much memory.

Understood ! I use that to store the parameters for custom characters the player can create to play with.

I mean rather - have these cartes stored in files, and loaded, as scripting everything in a function will likely require same memory. The point of this solution is to not have all of this data mentioned in script.
But this solution comes with extra problem: you need to save these files prior to using them in game. This means that you also need some kind of a "map editor", either scripted as a AGS game, or separate tool.
Alternatively, you may describe maps in a text format and parse them in script, for instance using IniFile module

Well finally it will be very easier for me to store them directly in the app, until it doesn't hurt so much the RAM (and it seems to be a very small impact on it).

That likely means your active process(es) are using 408 Mb total.
I think "Mo" is "Megabytes" in French?

Yes, I believe MB is the same as Mo. So, if my game, when it's running, is using 430Mo (or MB), it means it's remaining 2.570GB (or Mo) ? That's so huuuuuuge
