Wolf ET Mod for XP saving

(Iam8up) #1

I know there are several mods out there that will save XP, but I’m looking for one that will save it regardless of the player’s absence, and will save between maps and campaigns. Any idea which mod will do this?

ETPub can save over several campaigns.
But you have to be / stay on the server (as far as I know).

ETPub has a bitcvar and one of them is to allow xp to save so when u come back you will have it, i think its with campaign only, i could be wrong though. it will stay in single-objectives but not if you leave i dont think.

No mod does this yet. However I’m currently making a xp save function which stores the xp for eternity…

so like it stores it in a file not in memory ?

Yep in file(s). I haven’t really decided on whether it should be:

  • one file per guid
  • one file with all guids
  • one file with a fixed number of entries (like a couple of thousand). This will only store the highest XPs.

I have done some tests and ran into some hunk allocation errors, and noticable delays (4000 msec hitches) when using the 2 option. Although the file had over 300.000 entries at that point :slight_smile:

Have you considered databases? After all they are designed for things just like this… storing huge amounts of data for quick retrieval. (I’m not sure about licensing issues in this case though)

nyrtzi > I have considered calling a database, but it seems to be more complicated than just parsing a simple text file.
