Re: [Rails-devel] [Rails-users] Game status as text file

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

Install Eclipse and a Git repository and build the code.  I suppose Sourceforge has info in Git, but I’m no expert on that.

Better ask such questions to the group.

Hi Erik,

 

How do I get an executable of the latest version? I have never worked with Sourceforge.

Viele Grüße

Oliver

The saved game files consist of a list of serialized java objects, in particular all executed player actions.  It does not contain the current game state.

 

Rails contains a standalone program class named ListAndFixSavedFiles, with which saved files can be inspected and (to some extent) edited.

 

While I was at it, I have added a very simple menu option to dump the Game Status panel contents into a text file.  From the commit text:

 

    Added StatusWindow File menu action to dump the (transposed) contents

    of the GameStatus panel

    into a semicolon-separated text file with ".status" extension.

    Any tooltips (with additional info) are included between braces.

 

You’ll get a file chooser popup that allows to you set the location and name of the saved file, but it’s not yet intelligent enough to remember previous choices: it’ll always starts with a default file name.  I can change that default if you like.

 

I hope you can use this file format.  It will not get much better than this.  The tooltips have already been cleaned up a little.

 

Regards,

Erik.

I found that at rails.sourceforge.net/javadoc/index.html

 

The physical savegame files are not XML-files, they are in some proprietary format or am I wrong?

Thinking about it, a straight copy of the text in each element of the  JComponent[][] fields matrix in class GameStatus (inherited from GridPanel) might be exactly what you need.

I would start with dumping that matrix into a CSV file.
