Code:
    base_autoload_character = 1
    base_autosave_character = 1

        (changed below(current))
    base_autoload_character = 0
    base_autosave_character = 0


Problem description:

i asked if there was an auto save/load code and this guy gave me this I looked in the help file to see if there was any use for it and I got nothing perhaps i missed it...
I was wondering there ws a way to use this when i put it in i got nothing different and it auto deletes i had changed the "1" to a "0" but still no luck >.<

my question: can it be used to auto save/load as is or would i have to change it? if changing it has to happen could you steer me to the right example ect.


thanks for the help.

This code by itself doesn't do anything except set some variables. Can you show us the other code you're using to save characters?

Assuming you're dealing with multiple saves per player, you could make a 'options' savefile that'd effect the client. Then you could check for the autoload variable out of the save to load the selected character.
    var/savefile/f=new("[src.key]/Options.sav")
    var/AL
    f["AL"]>>AL
    if(fexists("[src.key]/Character[AL].sav"))
        var/savefile/s=new("[src.key]/Character[AL].sav")
        s["Mob"]>>src.mob
    else
        src.Select_Character()


Is an example of how to implament something like that.

[EDIT]
This of course would have to be IN a client proc and have to be used around loggin.

I don't have any others i just started my saving codes and asked around and was given that, he said its from a pokemon source he got so he went through it to get the code and sent me the character handling and implmentation the codes are:
character handling
client/base_num_characters_allowed = 1
client/base_autoload_character = 1
client/base_autosave_character = 1
client/base_autodelete_mob = 1

client/base_save_verbs = 1


client/base_ChooseCharacter()
mob/BaseCamp/ChoosingCharacter
    ChooseCharacterMenu(list/menu)
        return ..()

    DeleteCharacterMenu(list/menu)
        return ..()

client/base_SaveMob()
    return ..()

    FirstTimePlayer()

        return 1
mob/base_save_allowed = 1

mob/base_save_location = 1


mob/base_InitFromSavefile()
    return

then the implementation:
#define BASE_MENU_CREATE_CHARACTER  "Create New Character"
#define BASE_MENU_DELETE_CHARACTER  "Delete Character"

It's quite obvious I'm not that much of a good coder >.< but my goal is to have them create a character with out
that create a character pop-up thing like pokemon btr or ominous temple gates,and that login/pick your recent character screen because it wastes time. that's where the auto load/save would be useful to me. I've been trying to modify it above, extracting parts of it to see what ticks, i first started it last night with my previous issue went to bed and tried to figure it out but I've drawn a blank on how to go about this i may just have to take the time and make one the old fashion way trial and error.

saveing (in game)
    verb



        Save()
            src.client.base_SaveMob()
            src << "\red You have been saved."

i anything can be done that would be great if not thanks for letting me know.
i feel like a noob now xD

Going by what you said, I assume that this code is taken from another pokémon game and plugged straight into yours, and you don't actually understand the code you're using?

This is going to make it very difficult for you to fix any problems that come up.

When base_autoload is set to '1' ( in code, '1' can basically mean things like TRUE, ON or 'YES' and 0 means FALSE, OFF or NO. ) then it calls base_ChooseCharacter() which appears to be a mechanism for picking an existing character.
What confuses me is that happens under Client/New().

That actually looks like Basecamp saving.

In that case, you're going to have problems no matter how much help we give, because you don't understand the logic behind what we suggest.

There's no point us giving you working code unless you understand why it works.
