Thread: Loading paired coords... Yeesh >.>.

*Fixed *

Well, I got my save code working... But loading... not yet... When it should place the characters in there former positions, it doesnt place them... Anywhere? I know it it loads the file proprely, and I'm fairly sure it parses correctly. But, I dont think the coord variables are getting the correct information... Heres load code:
(Borland BCC55 compiler, Windows XP)

Code:

void Load() {
 string MAP;
 string PATH;
 char Saveme[2];
 int x00;
 COORD wha;
 string s;
 string s2;
 string ko;
 stringstream ss;
 int i, a;
 BOOL sswitch = false;

 PATH="C:\\";
 PATH+=Ext[0];
 PATH+=".bsf";

 ifstream file_in2(PATH.c_str(), ios::nocreate);

 s="";

 for(;;) {
  file_in2.get(Saveme[1]);
  if(Saveme[1] == 'a')
   break;
  if(Saveme[1] == ';')
   sswitch = true;
  if(Saveme[1] == ';' || Saveme[1] == 'n' ||Saveme[1] == 'e' ||Saveme[1] == '\n')
   cout << "";
  else {
   if(sswitch == false)
    s+=Saveme[1];
   else
    s2+=Saveme[1];
  }
 }

 a = 0;
 ko = "";

 for(i=0; a < s.length(); i++) {
  ss.clear();
  ko[0] = s[a];
  ko[1] = s[++a];
  ss << ko;
  ss >> TE[i].X;

  ss.clear();
  ko[0] = s[++a];
  ko[1] = s[++a];
  ss << ko;
  ss >> TE[i].Y;

  NOE = a + 1;
  NOD = a + 1;

  ss.clear();
  ko[0] = s[++a];
  ko[1] = s[++a];
  ss << ko;
  ss >> TD[i].X;

  ss.clear();
  ko[0] = s[++a];
  ko[1] = s[++a];
  ss << ko;
  ss >> TD[i].Y;

  a++;
 }

 a = 0;
 ko = "";

 for(i=0; a < s.length(); i++) {
  ss.clear();
  ko[0] = s[a];
  ko[1] = s[++a];
  ss << ko;
  ss >> Trigger[i].X;

  ss.clear();
  ko[0] = s[++a];
  ko[1] = s[++a];
  ss << ko;
  ss >> Trigger[i].Y;

  NOT = a + 1;
  NOTE = a + 1;

  ss.clear();
  ko[0] = s[++a];
  ko[1] = s[++a];
  ss << ko;
  ss >> Effect[i].X;

  ss.clear();
  ko[0] = s[++a];
  ko[1] = s[++a];
  ss << ko;
  ss >> Effect[i].Y;

  a++;
 }

 for(a=0; a <= NOE; a++) {
  wha.X = TE[a].X;
  wha.Y = TE[a].Y;
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(hOt, wha);
  cout << TeleportE;
 }
 for(a=0; a <= NOD; a++) {
  wha.X = TD[a].X;
  wha.Y = TD[a].Y;
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(hOt, wha);
  cout << TeleportD;
 } 
 for(a=0; a <= NOT; a++) {
  wha.X = Trigger[a].X;
  wha.Y = Trigger[a].Y;
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(hOt, wha);
  cout << TriggerE;
 }
 for(a=0; a <= NOTE; a++) {
  wha.X = Effect[a].X;
  wha.Y = Effect[a].Y;
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(hOt, wha);
  cout << TriggerP;
 }

 file_in2.close();
}

(TE, TD, Trigger, Effect, NOE, NOD, NOT, NOTE are all globals. TriggerE, TriggerP, TeleportE, TeleportD are all pre-defined constants.)

To the extent of my knowledge, this should work. The file has coord pairs like:4516n4615e

Heres the file that should be loading:
(1.BSF)

Code:

4516n4816e
4716n4916e

;

a

When the files opened, the information before the ; should be sent to TE and TD. The n & e split lines. IE TE[0].Xshould be 45, and TE[0].Yshould be 16. Then TD[0].X should be 48, and TD[0].Y should be 16... There are no integers for Trigger / Effect placed currently.

It doesnt work however, I know the code does alot it.. doesnt particularly need to do, but in essence it should work... I dont see any reason it doesnt? Take two chars, put them in a string and send them to the a global coord. I've re-designed this code fifty times, but nothing seems to work. The closest I got was it place the characters directly mirrored to where they should be. (Say it was at 0, 0 it would go to the very edge of the command prompts screen... (Dont ask how I managed that ... ) I know there are lots of variables defined there that arent used... I cut out the code that wasnt related to loading / parsing the bsf file.

Thanks for your time! >.>

If you're just reading one char, why make Saveme an array. Why not just:

Code:

char Saveme;

> ss.clear();
I'm almost positive this doesn't clear the stream. If just clears the error flags. I believe you want:

Code:

ss.str("");

> ko[0] = s[a];
> ko[1] = s[++a];
Simpler is:

Code:

ko = s.substr(a,2);
a += 2;

Well... It loads... Much more accurate, but no cigar. I'm not sure whats wrong, but it seems to be an issue with saving. Thank you very much for your help swoopy .
