Playermobile Changes

[Naviehs]

I wanted to add a few simple bools to playermobile.cs but now its deleting playermobiles on restart. Im guessing I need to modify serialize/deserialize, anyone can explain me like Im 5 or has a tutorial on how to do so? Thank you!

Serializing

Anyone has an example of a correct serializing / deserializing so the server update things correctly without deleting them on restart? thank you!

Serialize...

writer.Write(34); // change the version number by increasing it by 1. If it was 33, for example, change it to 34.

writer.Write(myBoolVariableOne);
writer.Write(myBoolVariableTwo);

writer.Write...// all of the other stuff that was here before...


Deserialize...

int version = reader.ReadInt(); // this will read 33 when you first load the server, but later after you save, it will read 34 because that is what you saved

switch( version )
{
case 34: // this is your new case
{
myBoolVariableOne = reader.ReadBool();
myBoolVariableTwo = reader.ReadBool();
goto case 33; // make sure you send it to the next (previously saved) case below
}
case 33:
...
}

Very well explained!

About the "writer.Write(34); "
do I need to increase it by one for every bool/int I add?

 

[Lokai]

No, the number tells it which Case you will be examining when starting the server.

I believe I did everything like you said.. Not sure why Im still getting the error (I even tried with the brackets)

OK. So, can you show me what the Serialize and Deserialize methods looked like before you tried to make any changes?
