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.

Nestharus Thank you for this great contribution :cool:
If I finish my rpg, will put your work in the credits of my map.
Greetings ...

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
