Discussion The End of Save/Load Codes

I present a fully working functional resource that can be used in maps that are played by average players on battle.net. No files need to be downloaded, the resource provides everything.

This resource can save up to around 103 trillion characters of data per file. It can read the data back from the files into the game. Furthermore, it can sync all of this data (full blown strings, meaning you can put your save/load codes and what not up).

Each line of a file may contain up to 4000 or so characters. You may save up to 25,769,803,764 lines and precisely 103,079,215,056,000 characters of data.

Strings are sync'd safely with a 100% guarantee. They are done rather quickly, 4 characters at a time. This resource has been tested with 3 players and is fully working.

The resource determines whether or not your machine is currently set up for it. If it isn't, it provides the one necessary file in an easy to find location and tells you to run it and then restart warcraft 3. Once you run that file, you will never see that message again. It knows that you ran the file : ).

I now present the code to the resource with a demo. The reason it is linked to is because thehelper can't handle the size of the lib. I'd have to split it into 5-6 threads :\.
Code + Demo

Attached to this post is a file that you may run ^_-. Run it solo to see the file i/o. Run it with buddies to see the file i/o + syncing =).

edit
Current map up isn't the latest. The syncing now almost instantly syncs all of the data at once regardless of how much data there is. I'm going to continue working on this in order to make it safe in the event of players leaving and so on ^_-. Eventually I'll write documentation on it and submit it for peeps to use : ).

The API is not going to change, so you can work on some GUI save/load stuff for it if you want ;p.

After this, I'll probably do an AES thing and update BigInt to be able to handle any amount of data.

read/write from files and sync strings up with other players, essentially the ultimate system for save/load like SC2 banks.

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
