Should savedLines be something else?

Hey, okay as some of you know, this new line rider I'm making has a bunch new line types (each shade is it's own). One of the problems this creates is if you load this new version in a older version, it would crash if the track has anything more than just blue, red, or green (black in this build). so please fill in this poll and if you want suggest names for it.

Yes, rename it to something else to not mess anything up.

Also [censored] make it save the lines somewhere so on every windows reformat I do I don't have to go into >9000 folders to get there.

Don't change what we're all so familiar with.

Also if it works, don't change it xD

yes

also, this has always been an issue, we've got along just fine. 6.7, 6.3, 6.2, and 6.1 are all partially incompatible (though, not all the time... sometimes they work fine. I blame mhenr :|)

I blame the decompiler :|

Change it so that it uses an "index" .sol to store the names of all saved tracks and then save each track using a different .sol.

^ now, THAT would be GREAT. each save = separate file? that would be so nice. just throw all the saves you want into the folder, open up the game! Very Happy

because flash applications arent able to scan the localhost folder (if they could itd be a security nightmare), youd need an "index.sol" file that LR uses to tell it what tracks its got saved. you'd have to manually enter in the filenames of newly added tracks to let LR know they exist.

either way, it's not going to be as convenient as a simple OS save/load panel Wink

oh I see. I think that might actually be worse than the current system if people meddled with the files (which we do all the time) and discrepancies developed... handling those situations would be a nightmare if I know anything about coding...

And it would be MUCH more complex to try to upload/download a .sol with multiple saves (would have to be a package) and to do soemthing like "oh, I want to open up this file, that has 20 saves in it, I need the right index file and ALL of the files for the saves"

Yeah, I've changed my mind, that is a very bad idea.

the index sol would be purely names - you would just enter in names of other tracks if you wanted access to them
(you wouldnt share it)

but that would involve opening it (but not the others) with certain programs (but not others) making the localhost folder more complicated instead of less complicated.

it would take kevin two seconds to add a box to type in the name of a .sol to add to the index lol

erhem.

I vote change the name, perhaps "storedLines.sol" or "indexedLines.sol"

or maybe even "SavedLines.sol" (you know, with an actual capital at the start instead of the lowercase s it is now)

^This is what I was thinking.

So basically I make the save/load menu read a sol with a list of all made tracks. Then, for each track that's actually made, it creates it's own sol... OR I make it so it saves every track as a separate sol, and you have to type in what it's called.

amirite? Inverted Onoz

About that last section, I'm not sure if this is how you envisioned it, but when you open a track where it shows a list of all the saved tracks based on whats in the index.sol file, you could also include the option to manually type in a new name of a track to open that isn't on the list causing that name to be added to the list in index.sol along with some possible options to change the name or delete it for whatever reason.

Okay, this is what I'm going to do, a little mix of all Ideas.

"savedlines" will be changed to "mainindexLines", this will be the default name that LRV3 will run on. Then I will include a custom sol name that will change "mainindexLines" into whatever the user wants, including "savedLines".

Any objections?

Frankly, I think this is pretty irrelevant. If we're getting a version pretty soon that not only has no lag, but also will have a double-click-file thing for track opening, I really don't see why we need to be talking about what save files will be called.

That being said, mhenr did have another name for a test version a while back, and iirc it was pretty good, so you could ask him.
