Code: save("level"+itoa(levelnumber)+".lev",mymap); load("level"+itoa(levelnumber)+".lev",mymap); Or Code: if ((handle=fopen("level"+itoa(levelnumber),O_WRITE))>0); fwrite(handle,mymap); fclose(handle); end if ((handle=fopen("level"+itoa(levelnumber),O_READ))>0); fread(handle,mymap); fclose(handle); end [Edited on March 20, 2007 by Eckolin] ____________ Maker of Games...

I have a level editor for my game, but the levels are much larger than yours. The struct is: struct tile[19999];//200x100 g; //Graphic of the tile pass; //If it is passable depth; //Tile's Z, 0 is behind guy -1 is infront end Using save() and load() produced massive file sizes for each level, also writing the files using o_read() and o_write() caused the same imense file size... When I had about 10 levels for the game, there was over 20 Mb in level data! That's when I experimented with z_read() and z_write(), the commands work almost identically to the normal read/write commands, but compress the data right down so I could have 50+ levels inside 1 Mb. I doubt you will have large filesize problems with your smaller structs, but it could still be usefull for you  Oh and by the way, if you are compressing a struct into a file, don't just add the whole large struct into the file in one go or Fenix will crash. I add each value seperately inside a for loop. ____________ .g105b'' |

That .bmp took several minutes to load. For the version I use (0.40), the steps would be: Put center. Right arrow. Set the values you want. (often 0,0) Left arrow.

Glowing Ninja defines it's maps like this: type _Tile; soort; // Type of tile. Grass, cliff, etc. ninja; end _Tile terrain[WORLD_WIDTH-1][WORLD_HEIGHT-1]; by the way. Using constants sometimes has advantages. I'm considering changing terrain to a _Tile pointer for variable level sizes though. ____________ Maker of Games... Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
