The title explains it all and I know it has to do with "SaveGameSlot" and "RestoreGameSlot".... and I don't know about how to do the "Save" or "restore" buttons on the two.
Search the forums for BlueGUI, that's where I found it. If you don't come up with anything, seek for RickJ's signature, there's a link...
If you haven't, read the manual section about making GUIs. I assume you want it displayed as a list, so you need a list box on your GUI. Use ListBoxSaveGameList or something like that (look it up in the manul) to make a list of saved games. Look up in the manual:
ListBoxGetItemSelected
character[].variables, find the var savegameindex[]
Use them to write your scripts for the buttons.
The BlueGUI is very confusing. I just found that out about the list box........
Ok, I try to do what 'BlueGUI' does but I get this error when importing a function in the script header:
---------------------------
Adventure Game Studio
---------------------------
Script link failed: Runtime error: unresolved import 'bgSave'
---------------------------
OKÃ, Ã,Â

The script header has the following:

import function bgSave(int state);
import function bgRestore(int state);
I think that I am missing something. What is the thing I'm missing?
New error when tryin to declare the function:
---------------------------
Compile Error
---------------------------
There was an error compiling your script. The problem was in 'Main script':
Error (line 137): Already referenced name as import
Do you want to fix the script now? (Your game has not been saved).
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------
Line 137: function bgCursor(int state) { // Setup cursor modes
I didn't declare it two times...what's wrong?
Did you put an import function bgCursor(...); line in the global script? You shouldn't put that there.
No, it just started with function bgCursor(...);
Can you post the whole global script here for us to check for the problem?

Ah, the problem is obvious now, just move the declaration part of bgCursor() up in the script.
Teh reason was that you called bgCursor() several times in your script BEFORE declaring the function, as forward reference is not allowed yet in AGS, it'll cause an error. So you just need to move its declaration up in the script so it's before all of its usage.
New problem:
---------------------------
Compile Error
---------------------------
There was an error compiling your script. The problem was in 'Main script':
Error (line 232): Variable 'bg_save_idx' is already defined
Do you want to fix the script now? (Your game has not been saved).
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------
What's line 232. You have probably declared the int twice, or you have a function with the same name as a integer.
You should have known from the previous topic I had. Furthermore, I did not declare the integer twice. Ah, I see, there was no reason:
int bg_save_idx;
string bg_save_buf;
should be in on_key_press. Thanks for all your help though.
Indeed you'd declared that at least twice, I can find at least one near the top of the script and one inside on_key_pressed(), I was too lazy to check further, but the search function for teh script editor is always your friend.
AHH!!!! Now I get this problem when I am trying to save. :( :

bump
Seriously, no one knows the answer to this problem?
No need to bump this, as it's just less than an hour, and your thread's still on the first page. This is a forum, not a chatroom, so you may need to wait (especially when I need to go for lunch ;)).
Your error is a runtime error right ? (ie when testing the game, not when compiling or saving your game).
That error indicates that bg_save_idx most likely refering to an item which does not exist. You may need to check further on your codes.
Something to note, that indices like bg_save_idx are usually something retrieved by using teh functions ListBoxGetSelected() or ListBoxGetNumItems(), in either case, there's something you need to be aware of:
1) If no item is selected on teh list, ListBoxGetSelected() returns -1, which is not a valid item number, and can cause problem if you want to retrieve the text of slot -1 (which doesn't exists), you you may need to use if.... to take care of this situation.
2) The valid number for list index is:
from 0 to (num_of_items - 1)
So say, if you use ListBoxGetNumItems() and it returns 15 for a list box, that means the valid indices are:
from 0 to 14
if you try to retrieve the text from slot 15 (which doesn't exist) teh game will crash.
So you may need to invest on your codes. (I'm just too lazy to read long stuffs).
Yeah, this is a runtime error....... but the wierd thing is, that in other games, it works........but in this one it displays the error everytime I try to save a game (within the game a.k.a. a runtime error). But then there is no item preset on the list....but, in the regular save game dialog, you can still save even though there is no preset item on the list.
The regular save interface is internal to the engine, it's different, you have to take care of possible problems yourself if you have to design your own GUI.
Can you post around line #82 of your codes (preferrably showing the part on how you set bg_save_idx for use later) so we can invest on the problem ?
(As looking at your originally posted codes I can't say which part corresponds to that line 82 portion in problem).
I copied the save and restore functions, their #define's and Global Script declared variables to my game, and it worked fine... have you done any changes to the functions? Any at all?
If it works fine for you.........there is a bad script in the global script.......I will need someone else to read the whole script for any error because I couldn't find any errors.
Bump
Try delete all saved games from your game\compiled\ folder and see if it helps.
If it still doesn't work then I can invite you to try the following save/load dialog:
http://www.geocities.com/scorpiorus82/saveloadgui_v1_1.zip (copy and paste) [edit: replaced with v1.1]
Feel free to ask, if you have any questions regarding its functionality.
What do I have to do if I wanted the save and load slots to be 100 (or 99) rather than 20? And what if I wanted to have both of them be separate GUIs?
uhh, bump?
edwin, JEEZ! you've been here long enough to understand the rules. no bumping a thread unless its falling off the first page. we all live in different time zones, plus we dont all hang out here 24 hours a day. we have lives too.
you have to set up your array to handle the amount of save slots you want. you can't edit the already made save/load system.
QuoteWhat do I have to do if I wanted the save and load slots to be 100 (or 99) rather than 20?
Yeah, as Scummbuddy pointed out, you then have to script the whole thing and have an array to store the correct order of slots. Otherwise, it wouldn't know which slot must be listed first, which - second, etc. AGS handles this with savegameindex[20] array which has a limit of 20 slots.
QuoteAnd what if I wanted to have both of them be separate GUIs?
The script can easily be adjusted to handle different GUIs for save and load as well.
Here is another version of the script:
Save/load script (version 1.1):http://www.geocities.com/scorpiorus82/saveloadgui_v1_1.zip [18kb] (
Copy & paste)
Now, is savegameindex[20] hardcoded? And which codes in your script are unnecessary for separate GUIs?
Quote from: Edwin Xie on Tue 19/10/2004 06:19:58Now, is savegameindex[20] hardcoded?
Yes, kind of. But it is the array that is used by AGS to inform us about the correct order of save slots, i.e. when you display save slots on a listbox with ListBoxSaveGameList they are arranged starting from the most recent one.
I'll think about the implementation with a custom savegameindex-like array so that a twenty slots limit can be increased.
QuoteAnd which codes in your script are unnecessary for separate GUIs?
The whole script is essential as it implemets basic functionality such as save, load and delete. In fact, to add separate GUIs for save and load I just wrote two extra simple functions:
function OpenSaveDialog() {
//=---------------------------------------------------------------------=
//Ã, Opens the *save* dialog:
//=---------------------------------------------------------------------=
Ã, Ã, //Ã, Setting up the GUI (pass -1 if the GUI object is unused!):
Ã, Ã, //Ã, ------------------------GUI---tbox--lbox--save--load--del--cancel
Ã, Ã, PrepareSaveLoadDialog(Ã, Ã, GUISAVE,Ã, 0,Ã, Ã, 1,Ã, Ã, 2,Ã, Ã, -1,Ã, Ã, 3,Ã, Ã, 4Ã, );
Ã, Ã,Â
Ã, Ã, //Ã, Open GUI:
Ã, Ã, OpenDialogGUI();
}function OpenLoadDialog() {
//=---------------------------------------------------------------------=
//Ã, Opens the *load* dialog:
//=---------------------------------------------------------------------=
Ã, Ã, //Ã, Setting up the GUI (pass -1 if the GUI object is unused!):
Ã, Ã, //Ã, ------------------------GUI---tbox--lbox--save--load--del--cancel
Ã, Ã, PrepareSaveLoadDialog(Ã, Ã, GUILOAD, -1,Ã, Ã, 0,Ã, Ã, -1,Ã, Ã, 1,Ã, -1,Ã, Ã, 2Ã, );
Ã, Ã,Â
Ã, Ã, //Ã, Open GUI:
Ã, Ã, OpenDialogGUI();
}
savegameindex[20] isn't writen bold. So it cna be changed, right? I never had the nerve to do it.
Yep, it is possible to write into savegameindex but the issue here is that this array is, instead, used as an output parameter to provide us with the necessary information about the arrangement of save slots.
The problem is, that I think PrepareSaveLoadDialog does nothing, is that the case?
On the contrary, it initializes the dialog by setting GUI and GUI objects numbers. It is important to tell the script what dialog (save or load) we want to appear.
I do not mean that, I meant, that there isn't really a script I can find that can save or load, it's pretty complicated to find a script that does not refer to the Save/Load GUI.....maybe I can create a Save/Load GUI but block that one from any access.
download this and check it all out:
http://bluegui.netfirms.com/
Uh, I downloaded that but there was this listbox error.

So, do you just want to save/load without a dialog? You can then use SaveGameSlot and RestoreGameSlot, for example:
SaveGameSlot (100, "autosave"); // save a game to slot 100;
RestoreGameSlot (100); // restore a game from slot 100;
I just want a script for separate save and load GUIs.
The script I posted a link to has OpenSaveDialog() to open a save GUI and OpenLoadDialog() to open a load GUI. You don't have to use the GUISAVELOAD gui - you can delete this GUI as well as the OpenSaveLoadDialog() function from the global script. The SAVE and LOAD GUIs do use the same function to operate but that's more practical since their functionality is rather similar. For instance, both have a listbox to list existent slots, a cancel button and may optionally share the delete button as well.
The only problem I am having is that clicking any button will do nothing.
Generally that means that you haven't scripted anything for that button... Check to make sure that the button you are clicking is the button# you used in interface_click(int button)... And try posting the script as well...
// main global script file
#define SAVELOAD_SLOTS_MAX 20 Ã, // Ã, the max number of saved slots (*must* be 20 or less!);

Thanks. Uhoh, now I realized that when I read your post it took almost 100 seconds. With 19 queries. Maybe I was downloading that game at 10kbps when it should normally be about 4kbps.
I have one final question to ask, which lines do I have to modify to make it so that the player can save a limit of 100 save game slots?
It's not currently possible to rise the limit beyond 20. As I said before, I'll look into how it can be increased and reply back then. ;)
It is currently possible, just not using the savegameindex[] array... :P You have to use SaveGameSlot(int slot, string description) and RestoreGameSlot(int slot). However, this changes the way you have to set up your listbox. You could use something like:
function ListBox(int gui, int object){
string buffer, description;
int counter;
ListBoxClear(gui, object);
while (counter<100){
StrFormat(buffer, "%d. ", counter+1);
if (GetSaveSlotDescription(counter+100, description)!=1) StrCopy(description, "");
StrCat(buffer, description);
ListBoxAdd(gui, object, buffer);
counter++;
}
ListBoxSetTopItem(gui, object, 0);
ListBoxSetSelected(gui, object, -1);
}
Thanks to Proskrito for the script... I don't know if you wanted your listbox items numbered, but if not, you can just do:
function ListBox(int gui, int object){
string description;
int saveslot;
ListBoxClear(gui, object);
while (saveslot<100){
if (GetSaveSlotDescription(saveslot+100, description)!=1) StrCopy(description, "");
ListBoxAdd(gui, object, description);
saveslot++;
}
ListBoxSetTopItem(gui, object, 0);
ListBoxSetSelected(gui, object, -1);
}
Or something like that... ;)
A minor plug - version 1.1 of my Black Cauldron remake contains a custom save/restore dialog box with support for more than 20 slots. In retrospect I could have optimised it further, since I didn't know about the GetSaveSlotDescription method, but you may get some good ideas for it. Basically, I use a custom file to store the current ordering of save game slots, and then use it to load the listbox with the save games in the correct order.
