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

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

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.

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.

Hi Oliver

download the latest published version from here: 
http://rails.sourceforge.net/

with eclipse and Git you have always the actual version of the 
developers. the setup is described here: 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/rails/index.php?title=Development_environment_setup

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

[Oliver H. <oli...@gm...>]

Help! I am not into programming at all. I tried to install all this 
Eclipse, Git and Java stuff but did not manage to build the code. 
Anybody who could build the JAR from the latest version for me?

Cheers
Oliver

Hi, I found the instructions on the rails wiki and managed to compile 
and run the latest version. :-)

Cheers
