jangofet Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 by map editor do you mean like, make more land and spawn pig houses and tentacles and stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cejoga Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 by map editor do you mean like, make more land and spawn pig houses and tentacles and stuff?Sorry.I'm thinking about two versions right now. A simple one with just a viewer and the funcionality of edit/add entities on the map. And another with all complex things like create a map from scratch.

noisestudio Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) [MENTION=4779]cejoga[/MENTION]hi,this seems pretty cool,how is it going?any test version to try out?and can't help asking,is this something like save editor,reading saved data and edit and change map to what you want?if it is,then it's very useful,cause we can create some map with bitmap image of something.

So we and the guys from save editor are doing the same thing but the location that they are changing is different from ours. They are changing a little piece and we are changing the rest of the save file. I have a few choices but I need every knowledge from the save file to decide which way we are going to take.

noisestudio Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 [MENTION=4779]cejoga[/MENTION]good,actually i am going to do the same thing,so i just want to ask some question if i may.that saved file looks odd to me,how you decode it to human readable text?is it possible to get some clue from gamelogic.lua file?cause yesterday i found some table in the file,it seems it recorded some prefabs and player infomation.but i don't understand how it works to convert saved data to that table.i think maybe you have finished your data analysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOf Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 [MENTION=10578]noisestudio[/MENTION]Look at the top of main.lua for the variable that determines if saved games are json encoded or not. Encoding the files makes the saved games *much* smaller....but hard for humans to read. :DYou could look at the json.lua file to see how this encoding is being done and either replicate it in your programming environment or find a json library you can use.

The guys from the save editor are also thinking about it. This kinda bothers me but if anyone what to try who am I to say no.I followed all the clues left by a certain developer from Klei. Moreover, we will not discuss it with anybody until we have finished the project and this will take a long long road. I'm sorry.Good luck man! [MENTION=10271]WrathOf[/MENTION],I'm pretty sure that is a lua table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOf Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yes, the saved games and player profiles are actually just lua tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisestudio Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 ok,wish you guys good luck.and i give up trying this,seems it is really a hard work to analyse unknown tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
