Hi!.

I'm a problem again.


The game is finished, but I have a great final problem.  When the player tries to save the game when it goes a time playing, the time for the process of savegame goes off to times between 5 and 10 minutes. I have been reading ancient posts on this problem, but I do not understand them.

I which cannot be the problem. Probably I have used too many global variables? Or probably there are too many entities in memory? Or they are the nodes of the rooms? The truth is that that not to do, now that the game is finished.

I need help to be able to solve it. Since I can extract the necessary information to know which is the problem?. Thank you very much in advance. This it is the final step to be able to see my finished game. Please, I wait for yours help.


A lot of thanks to all.

How many scenes are there in your game?

The most common cause is that you're periodically loading something (windows, entities...) and not releasing them. For example putting Game.LoadWindow() to base.inc file is a bad thing(tm).

If your game is huge with 100+ of scenes, it's worth it removing the global variables (SceneNameState) in scene_init.script, generated from templates, as well as disabling the "Remember node states" check-box in SceneEdit for scenes where you don't need this feature.

My game have a 36 scenes.

Initially it saves with rapidity, but when you advance in the game, every time it is late more in saving.

At the moment I am going to remove all the global variables that it could, but I am afraid that it does not work.

How can I unload elements that already are not necessary? Since I can know where I do not need "Remember node states"?

Thanks

With 36 scenes variables shouldn't make a difference. There's something growing rapidly. Any chance I could take a look at the game?

[Maidnet]

Of course...

That you need? The compiled game? The original files? Where I you send it?

A lot of Thanks.

Original files are easier for me to dig into. Can you upload it somewhere?

[Maidnet]

Ok.

I upload the files in my FTP and I send to you an link in a personal message.

Thanks

[Maidnet]

Mnemonic, I send to you a personal message with the links of downloads.

you received?

Thanks.

I did. Saved game would be helpful though, because I can't really test the game, because I don't speak the language. I tried visiting like five scenes and didn't find any problems so far.

[Maidnet]

Ok. I'm searching one savegame file with this problem and send us.

Thanks.

[Maidnet]

Hello again!

Mnemonic, I send to you a personal message with the link of the savegame file.

you received?

Thanks.

The saved game you've sent me loads and saves in a couple of seconds...

[Maidnet]

a couple of seconds??? you are sure?

in my pc computer, the save process time is two minutes. The load process is more quick.... I don't understand...

[Mnemonic]

Yes, I'm absolutely sure. I just tried it again. So if you start a new game and load this very saved game you've sent me, it takes minutes to load?
Also, have you tried that on some other computer?
