Bayat - Save System - An ultimate data management solution

Glad to see you back @hasanbayat

 

Is it possible with this plugin to load all jsons from a sub-directory?
I want to load all `/worlds` and all `/characters` for example. Each one will be shown in a list to the player, and they can choose which to load.

I know I could write this in c# myself, just wondering if it's supported directly.

 

Yes, the SaveSystemAPI facade class provides methods for listing files in a directory, and then you iterate through them and load them:

Code (CSharp):

1. StorageListOptions options = new StorageListOptions() {
2.     // This will not look into subfolders recursively
3.     Recurse = false
4. };
5.  
6. // It'll list all the files inside the "worlds" directory, if the current storage is File system, then it'll look inside the Application.persistentDataPath directory for this folder
7. string[] worlds = await SaveSystemAPI.List("worlds");
8.  
9. for (int i = 0; i < files.Length; i++) {
10.     string world = worlds[i];
11.     await SaveSystemAPI.LoadAsync<WorldData>(world);
12. }

So basically by this, you would be able to get the identifiers to the files or load them by iterating through them, you can also use the Meta Data feature of the Save System to store additional information about a particular data to be loaded individually.

 

saawweeet! Thx

 

I like Save System very much, but I have a problem, which is this:
I use AssetBundle to load the model into the scene, save it with Save System, and then load it again. I found that Mesh was loaded, But Material is not work. How can I load Material from AssetBundle. The save text is as follows.

 

Usually Unity objects need to be referenced prior to saving either by Asset Reference Manager or Scene Reference Manager, you can check for that through the Manager windows provided for both.

Please first try to make sure if the Material is referenced by Asset Reference Manager then if it is already referenced, then provide your Save / Load script here or inside a project in which the behavior is reproducible, and then I'll be able to provide more helpful insight.

Also, do you get any errors during the saving and loading phases? and if possible try to change the data structure for your saving to something smaller and more compact instead of saving Mesh and Material data.

 

Thank you. I tried to call the RefreshDependencies() of the Scene Reference Resolver when the scene was saved. During Load(), it was loaded perfectly. But when I packaged the PC platform, I encountered an error. The error prompted the Scene Reference Resolver script RefreshDependencies() this function.

 

The

RefreshDependencies

is for Editor only, it is not supposed to be used in Runtime which is in your PC build platform.
Instead, you should use the buttons provided on the Scene Reference Resolver to fetch the references and keep a track of them, what actually happens beneath is that button makes a call to the

RefreshDependencies

and this method fetches the dependencies for the currently active scene and then checks whether the dependencies are referenced if they are not referenced, generates a new GUID for them which points to that specific Unity object reference, and Save System uses that GUID to save and load these Unity objects and restore the data into them instead of instantiating new Unity object in place.

So in a nutshell you should just make sure the object you're trying to save is included or referenced by the Asset Reference Resolver if it is an Asset or by Scene Reference Resolver if it is a Scene object and you can fetch references through their respective controls and buttons.

 

Hi i want to read documentations but looks like your page doesnt work, will be online any soon ?

 

Sorry for the late response here, you can join our Discord for faster news, the downtime was for the migration of hosting infrastructure.

 

The new version is now live, 1.12.30:

• ✔️ Fixed Connection String Factories not being initialized on AOT/IL2CPP platforms (Now they're using RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod to register themselves, third-party storage providers should implement the same method)
• ✔️ Updated all official integration packages to reflect the Connection String Factory patch (e.g. Steamworks .NET, PlayFab, Firebase, Facepunch Steamworks, ...)
• ✔️ Fixed 'ScriptableObject' being serialized more than once for the subsequent references

And check more information from the previous versions in the Changelog.

 

The new version is now live, 1.19.0:

⭐ New Features ⭐

• ⭐ Added Xbox Live integration: https://docs.bayat.io/save-system/manual/integrations/xbox-live.html
• ⭐ Added Google Play Games integration: https://docs.bayat.io/save-system/manual/integrations/google-play-games.html
• ⭐ Added Trace Writer to the Json settings that allows you to get debug information about the serialization / deserialization process and specify a filter level for the logs

⚡ Improvements & Changes ⚡

• ⚡ The Auto Save Manager now sorts the Auto Saves based on the hierarchy order, from parent to children, so this way there won't be any more issues with having missing objects from hierarchy
• ⚡ The Material Properties Resolver now uses the material asset GUID for lookup, so there won't be name collisions during serialization
• ⚡ The Material Properties Resolver now ignores material instances, and their properties are dynamically fetched
• ⚡ The MaterialConverter retrieves the properties of a material dynamically through the Shader API instead of using the cached properties in the Material Properties Resolver for Material instances, the referenced Materials are still fetched through the resolver

⚙️ Fixed Bugs ⚙️

• ✔️ Fixed Material Properties Resolver name collision bug when having materials with the same name
• ✔️ Fixed MeshConverter bug when serializing or deserializing read-only meshes
• ✔️ Fixed ObjectJsonConverter bug when iterating through properties near the end of the object token

And check more information from the previous versions in the Changelog.

 

I have a strategy game where I need to "snapshot" the current state of gameplay. I have coroutines, pathfinders, instantiated prefabs, 3rd-party timer plugins, etc. Does your save system address this kind of complexity?

EDIT: I'm going to edit my question to say, I've since learned that trying to track an enumerator across play sessions is just not a good idea. I'm going to replace all the coroutines and probably some of the plugins too. I'll keep this asset bookmarked.

 

No worries, you can just try it out for free using the trial link in the description of the asset.

By the way, to implement it in such a complex scenario I would advise you to have some data modeling in mind to control what is being saved and loaded to prevent redundant data from being processed.

 

We have used an asset to set up storage of things like variables and inventory items...Is it still possible to use your plugin with this kind of setup? If so, how would that work?

 

It depends on the plugin you're using, usually, those plugins provide a class that holds all those information to be persistent, so in your case, you can either look through their manual to find out which property/field/class it is to save and store.

You can also download the trial version of the Save System to play around with i
