Hmm, that source patch should work for windows too I think. But you'd have to compile your own version.
I don't know how that is done, but I think you need a special (nonfree?) programm to do it.

jrepan · « **Reply #4 on:** 17 February 2008, 16:49:36 »

Duke is almost right, but It shouldn't need nonfree program. I just don't have Windows so I can't compile it for Windows

Maybe I will try cross compiler someday.

hailstone · « **Reply #5 on:** 17 February 2008, 22:09:20 »

Bos Wars has some information on cross compiling.

daniel.santos · « **Reply #6 on:** 21 February 2008, 07:09:06 »

well whaddaya know, I just figured out a no-cost win32 compile solution. It's not "free" in the sense of what I consider "free" (as in "freedom"), but you don't have to pay m$ a month's salary.

New release probably comes when I get all commands working. Now I have more time to develop it so it shouldn't take very much time.

Hi folks:

I've tried installing the binary using the instructions above. I put the needed files into my Glest 3.10 on a x86-64 system running Ubuntu linux. Glest itself seems to work fine, but I see no way to get it to save a game. I'm new to Glest and can't seem to even find menus. How do I activate a save and load a saved game? Is it possible that my 64-bit system is messing this up?

A save capability for Glest is really a great idea. For me it's a must: I can't afford to spend really long stretches of time finishing a game and Glest crashes on my machine not infrequently. Without save, I lose everything.

Thanks in advance!

To Save the Game, press Z button.
To Load the Game, press Load button in Main Menu

Yup, with Save capability, i can save the game, when i have to go to do something important in the middle playing the game.
I hope this Mod will complete soon.

psL i'am sory if my english is bad.

tildatoo · « **Reply #11 on:** 24 February 2008, 20:15:12 »

Hi tux-gamer: I tried to save the game by pressing the 'z' key, shift-z, alt-z, ctrl-z etc during a game. There's no effect.

I installed using the pre-compiled binary, following the instructions carefully. The instructions say you should replace the glest file, but I saw no glest file in the binary with which to replace the game's standard glest file. So, maybe that's the problem. Or perhaps there's a problem because I'm running the 64-bit version of the game and perhaps the precompiled binary is 32-bit? If the latter is the case, I wonder why the game works at all.

Thanks!

You must replace glest binary with glest binary from glest-savegame-0.3-linux.tar.gz
Or You can try to do this way:
1.put glest-savegame-0.3-linux.tar.gz , glest-source-3.1.0.tar.bz2 and glest_data_3.1.0.zip in your Home Directory

2.unpack glest-savegame-0.3-linux.tar.gz

Code: [Select]

[tux-gamer@mandriva ~]$ tar xzvf glest-savegame-0.3-linux.tar.gz
glest-savegame/
glest-savegame/menu.xml
glest-savegame/glest
glest-savegame/textentry.tga
glest-savegame/english.lng

3.Change directory:

Code: [Select]

[tux-gamer@mandriva ~]$ cd  glest-savegame
[tux-gamer@mandriva glest-savegame]$

4.unzip the data files:

Code: [Select]

[tux-gamer@mandriva glest-savegame]$ unzip ../glest_data_3.1.0.zip
[tux-gamer@mandriva glest-savegame]$ mv glest_game/*  .
[tux-gamer@mandriva glest-savegame]$ rm -rf glest_game

5.Replace:

Code: [Select]

[tux-gamer@mandriva glest-savegame]$ mv -f english.lng  data/lang/english.lng
[tux-gamer@mandriva glest-savegame]$ mv -f menu.xml data/core/menu/menu.xml
[tux-gamer@mandriva glest-savegame]$ mv textentry.tga data/core/menu/textures/textentry.tga

6.Copy glest.ini from glest-source-3.1.0.tar.bz2

Code: [Select]

[tux-gamer@mandriva glest-savegame]$ tar xjvf ../glest-source-3.1.0.tar.bz2 
[tux-gamer@mandriva glest-savegame]$ mv  glest-source-3.1.0/glest.ini  .
[tux-gamer@mandriva glest-savegame]$ rm -rf  glest-source-3.1.0

7.Play the game:

Code: [Select]

[tux-gamer@mandriva glest-savegame]$ ./glest

I hope this will help you.
and to Load the game, you must click load game button in Main menu
And to Save the game, press z button.

ps: i'am sory if my english is bad.

Wow, new release.
Thanks a lot.

If MartiÃ±o doesn't merge this with the mainline Glest soon, I'll put it in gae

SanskritFritz · « **Reply #19 on:** 10 March 2008, 10:29:42 »

Please, put that mod into the main Glest! I have to use two instances of Glest now, one for single games with save capability, and one for network games.

GAE & savegame patch

Unfortunately, the many changes I've made make the patch as is exceedingly difficult to merge, so I'm re-writing the actual game saving & loading part. I don't like to be one of those "I can do it better" types, I did actually merge all of the changes and got it to compile, but I changes to the classes and structure of the data, especially the data we we need to read & write has changed significantly.

I've done object persistence a number of times in different projects I've worked on in the past and I personally like to let each object in an object hierarchy persist its self rather than using friend or package access (the later a Java thing) to get to it's members. I've thrown my progress thus far into subversion, although it's anything but a complete implementation, it actually writes *part* of the saved game file.

Also, I decided to go with xml since we have these cute xml classes in Glest's shared libs already. This is a sample output (not that you will care to look at them often):

Code: [Select]

@jrepan@
I have compile v0.4 patch with glest-3.12 source code, and play it.
but, when my archer attack golem, then i save the game, then exit the game, and load it from main menu.
And i saw my archer still attack golem and Golem attack my archer, but no damage for both.
and when some enemy try to attack my archer, they attack to wrong place/location and is far away to unknown place, not to my archer.

this morning, i try play again, and save the game, then load it from main menu, but i only get segmentation fault.

thanks again for developing this woinderful save game feature, i hope this will get much better soon.

ps: i'am sory for my bad english

horay, at last, save games implementation for GAE.
thanks for adding save games to GAE, i will looking forwad for this one.

daniel.santos · « **Reply #23 on:** 11 March 2008, 10:56:35 »

Well, I finished, it and

Code: [Select]

[url=http://www.glest.org/glest_board/viewtopic.php?p=14441#14441]posted it here[/url], but I can't promise it'll work

.

Code: [Select]

void Game::keyDown(char key){

	Lang &lang= Lang::getInstance();
	bool speedChangesAllowed= !NetworkManager::getInstance().isNetworkGame();

	if(saveBox && saveBox->getEntry()->isActivated()) {
		switch(key) {
		case vkReturn:
			saveGame(saveBox->getEntry()->getText());
			//intentional fall-through
		case vkEscape:
			delete saveBox;
			saveBox = NULL;
			break;

		default:
			saveBox->keyDown(key);
		};
		return;
	} else {
		//send key to the chat manager
		chatManager.keyDown(key);
	}

	if(!chatManager.getEditEnabled()) {

		if(key=='N') {
			renderNetworkStatus= true;
		} else if(key=='E'){
.... etc....

The escape key doesn't actually work to cancel it because that gets picked up somewhere else (I can't remember where).

tux-gamer · « **Reply #24 on:** 11 March 2008, 11:56:48 »

@jrepan@
Update bug info.
1.Segementation fault only happen when you play a few minute, and save the game, then load it.

2.Here screenshot when enemy and my archer , atacck to wrong place.

3.One more bug, all Guard command back to Stop command, so i must click Hold Position again after loading the saved games.

@daniel.santos@
Thanks alot, I'am downloading now.

ps: ia'm sory if my english is bad.
