[Cosmos2-code] Empire save

[HeavyWave <hw...@bi...>]

Hello Ben,

This is what I hae written (exept changes in Empire and
EmpireDetailControls classes):

                private void saveButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
                {
                        if(this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.Name==null) { noParameter(); return; }
                        if(this.empireDetailsControl.Empire._pluralName==null) { noParameter(); return; }
                        if(this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.RulerTitle==null) { noParameter(); return; }
                        if(this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.contactMessage==null) { noParameter(); return; }    

                        System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog dialogBox = new System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog();

                        dialogBox.Filter = "Empire save files (*.ecs)|*.ecs|All files (*.*)|*.*";

                        dialogBox.ShowDialog();
                        System.IO.Stream fileToWrite;
                        fileToWrite = dialogBox.OpenFile();
                        
                        byte[] lineToWrite = new byte[256];
                        //Empire.Name save
                        for(int i=0;i<this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.Name.Length;i++)
                                lineToWrite[i]=Convert.ToByte(this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.Name[i]);
                        fileToWrite.Write(lineToWrite, 0, this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.Name.Length);
                        translator(fileToWrite, lineToWrite);
                        //Empire.PluralName save
                        for(int i=0;i<this.empireDetailsControl.Empire._pluralName.Length;i++)
                                lineToWrite[i]=Convert.ToByte(this.empireDetailsControl.Empire._pluralName[i]);
                        fileToWrite.Write(lineToWrite, 0, this.empireDetailsControl.Empire._pluralName.Length);
                        translator(fileToWrite, lineToWrite);
                        //Empire.RulerTitle save
                        for(int i=0;i<this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.RulerTitle.Length;i++)
                                lineToWrite[i]=Convert.ToByte(this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.RulerTitle[i]);
                        fileToWrite.Write(lineToWrite, 0, this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.RulerTitle.Length);
                        translator(fileToWrite, lineToWrite);
                        //Empire.ContactMessage save
                        for(int i=0;i<this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.contactMessage.Length;i++)
                                lineToWrite[i]=Convert.ToByte(this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.contactMessage[i]);
                        fileToWrite.Write(lineToWrite, 0, this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.contactMessage.Length);
                        translator(fileToWrite, lineToWrite);
                        //Empire.TechList save
                        TechList[] techList = new TechList[256];
                        techList = this.empireDetailsControl.Empire.GetResearchTree();
                        for(int i=0;i<techList.Length;i++)
                        {
                                for(int i2=0;i2<techList[i].Description.Length;i2++)
                                        lineToWrite[i2] = Convert.ToByte(techList[i].Description[i2]);  
                                fileToWrite.Write(lineToWrite, 0, techList[i].Description.Length);
                                lineToWrite[0]=6;
                                fileToWrite.Write(lineToWrite, 0, 1);

                                string Level = Convert.ToString(techList[i].Level);
                                for(int i2=0;i2<Level.Length;i2++)
                                        lineToWrite[i2] = Convert.ToByte(Level[i2]);            
                                fileToWrite.Write(lineToWrite, 0, techList[i].Name.Length);
                                lineToWrite[0]=6;
                                fileToWrite.Write(lineToWrite, 0, 1);

                                for(int i2=0;i2<techList[i].Name.Length;i2++)
                                        lineToWrite[i2] = Convert.ToByte(techList[i].Name[i2]); 
                                fileToWrite.Write(lineToWrite, 0, techList[i].Name.Length);
                                lineToWrite[0]=6;
                                fileToWrite.Write(lineToWrite, 0, 1);                           
                        }
                        translator(fileToWrite, lineToWrite);

                        fileToWrite.Close();
                }
                private void translator(System.IO.Stream file, byte[] buffer)
                {
                        buffer[0]=7;
                        file.Write(buffer, 0, 1);
                }       
                private void noParameter()
                {
                        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("All fields should be !");
                }

Is this accepteable?

And what to do with Empire class ? Can you give me description of
Empires and how they will work. You said several things but that is
not enough.
