Saving a dictionary does not work after loading the game later.

[danosono]

Hi all,

I must be doing something wrong

Can anyone see my error here?

Code: Select all

void Start()
        {
            //EnlistDictionaries(); 
            if (ES3.KeyExists("GenesisSaveKey"))
            {
                Genesis = ES3.Load("GenesisSaveKey", DefaultDictionary);
            }
            
        }

        
        private void OnApplicationQuit()
        {
            ES3.Save("GenesisSaveKey", Genesis);   
        }

Thanks!

Hi there,

We’ve had no reports of Dictionaries not loading correctly, and I wasn’t able to replicate it from what you sent.

Please could you create a new project with a simple scene which replicates it and private message it to me with instructions so I can see what is happening.

All the best,
Joel

Joel,

I composed a PM to you and clicked "Submit" but it sits in my Outbox so that I have a number next to my outbox but no "Sent" messages.

How do I send a PM?

Thanks

Danny

Hi there,

Private messages remain in the Outbox until the recipient reads them (silly I know, but it's set at phpBB's end so not something we can change). I'll respond to your private message shortly.

All the best,
Joel

Hi Danny,

Thanks for sending that over, much appreciated. I thought I would respond here rather than PM in case anyone else has a similar issue.

The problem is that you're not assigning the output of ES3.Load back to your variable. Your code is this:

Code: Select all

ES3.Load("MockDictionary", DefaultDictionary);

When it should be this:

Code: Select all

MockDictionary = ES3.Load("MockDictionary", DefaultDictionary);

All the best,
Joel

OO
Thanks sm!

I was not trying to rush your answer; just wasn't sure I was doing it right.

Thanks again Joel,

1. That didn't fix my sample project; still does not load after reloading the scene.
2. I already had that correct assignment in my original project.

When you made that change on my sample project, did it work?

Maybe I am missing something simple again.

Hi Danny,

It indeed worked in the test project. I recommend deleting your previous save data by going to Tools > Easy Save 3 > Clear Persistent Data Path, in case this is interfering.

Just to check, are you entering and exiting play mode? If you're switching scenes rather than entering and exiting play mode, your ES3.Save call won't be called because you've put it in OnApplicationQuit().

All the best,
Joel

Thanks Joel and sorry for being short in my last reply,

I will try deleting previous data as you suggested but I am getting the expected saved data while in play mode and then no data after exiting play mode and starting again.

I tried exiting play mode and re-entering.

Still not sure what is going on.

I will do as you have suggested ...

Thanks!

Hello Joel

I got the test proj. working O_O

All I did was extract the save and load calls to respective methods and called the methods in ApplicationQuit and Start.

I only did this b/c I wanted to add the methods to the context menu for better control of when they are called; I never had to call them in the editor b/c it was working.

Crazy?

I am starting work now so I will test this in my project afterwards.

Thanks again!

Danny
