[Discontinued] Unity Save Load Utility (Free!) - Save and load your data

Check if any other variable of the same script or class gets saved properly. Also look into using attributes as detailed in the USLU manual.

 

I checked the manual before, and I tried adding the [SaveMember] indicator before each variable I wanted to save. Still, nothing. I also tried what you just suggest, and for some reason, only the variables that were assigned on the prefabs themselves stay (I think). Its kinda hard to tell, since as soon as the blocks are loaded, they try to generate terrain, which in-turn changed the variables. It seems like what happens is if the variables had been changed since they were instantiated, then the variables just revert to the prefab. I even tried re-writing the terrain generator and making it so the script was destroyed once it finished all axis. Still, upon loading, the script re-appeared with all of the variables from the prefab.

 

Sounds too compley to wrap my head around. I suggest inserting Debug.Log lines before and after loading and saving and during the terrain generation process.

 

Ok, no worries. I can probably just make my own system to fix it. Thanks for all of your help! I can't tell you how much this has benefitted the development of my game.

 

Hello, I downloaded your asset and it's pretty great, but i'm facing a pretty important issue here. There's a certain gameobject that I use to raise characters' stats, but loading it up it's giving me trouble. Whenever it's loaded, all of its components are turned off, children included, and the variables are not saving. Yes, the OI is attached, I named the variable the same as the prefab's name, the prefab it's stored in the Resources folder, and the variables that are supposed to be saved all have the [SaveMember] attribute. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

EDIT: Oh, and apparently, adding the [SaveMember] attribute to a list that stores skills(the skills are gameObjects with a particular script attached) for my characters throws an error and doesn't allow me to save anything at all. EDIT 2: Nvm, it's not giving an error anymore but it won't save the list's content.

 

I seem to remember that the [SaveMember] attribute is only needed if only certain members of a class should be saved and loaded. Why components are disabled after loading I have no idea. Perhaps it will help if you try to use the test scene as the base and go from there.

 

I did try with the test scene, but nothing. The gameObject's that is supposed to raise stats remains the same as the prefab except for the components that are not enabled, which I assume has to with the fact that everytime a scene is loaded the objects are destroyed. And yet, most of the objects I choose save and load just fine.

Oh and what exactly does this mean? It happens randomly whenever I load a game.

 

It's likely a problem with a certain collection-custom class combination. I will discontinue support for this asset since it has become clear to me that saving and loading a Unity scene in an all-encompassing way is far too difficult with a free product that requires constant updates and testing as well as support for users (as this thread shows). I will keep the download link since it can still serve as the way it was originally intended, namely a way to show how such a system could be attempted.

 

Oh, that's a bummer. Well, do you know anything about the paid asset? Easy Save? I have too many things to think about and I can't really deal with this kind of system right now. Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.

 

I have no experience with any of the save-load assets from the store.

 

I see, thanks anyway.

 

Hello, could you please tell me how i can change the save path?

 

Look through the scripts, it is declared in one of the variables. IIRC it can also be changed from the inspector.

 

ok thanks

 

Hello again! I don't know why this isn't working but when i try to load my save it only loads part of it and leaves out the rest even though it has an object-marker script and the prefab is in the resources/prefabs folder.

here are some screen shots and the error message i'm getting:

saved vision:



loaded version:



(ignore the extra logs)

error message:

Code (CSharp):

1. MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Default constructor not found...ctor() of UnityEngine.Material'.

hopefully this is enough information.

also i put in the save to path "c:\FOLDERNAME" and its not their even though i have saved stuff to it

 

This asset is no longer supported, as the thread title says.

 

This USLU is awersome utility, i want use it for my own game save maps items and location, yo ureally help me in developing, thank you very much!! Love USLU, are really AWERSOME! Great Job Bro, really Great Job!

 

I really wish the manuals were still up, even though it's not supported. People could read them quietly and not bother you. Thank you for your hard work.

 

I have reuploaded both files. The manuals were always part of the main package, though.

 

Wouldn't ya matter if i, or someone else would continue this project open-source, on Github, let's say ?

 

I don't care. However, I don't think it's worth it since the attempt of a "catch-all"-implementation is fundamentally flawed and will never work in 100% of the cases.

 

Hello..Hope you still answer questions about this....(If not I understand, this is a temp solution for us but if we can fix this 1 issue it will be great for a little while!))
I finally got the original serialization to sort of work then saw your 'advanced' version.
I have a weapon, and when I select save mode (any but list exclusive) it gives no error and puts it back to its original prefab location, rotation, not saving the values (condition and ammo)..NOW when I select List Exclusive I get it to save AND load the values as well..BUT I get an error that causes other objects being saved to act weird. So yay, it does what I want, but boo I can't use it...

Spoiler: Error
