A module that implements basic saving and loading of data from files on disk.
Copy entire fileIO folder into the Torque3D project's data/ folder, restart the project if it's running and it'll be integrated.
writeSave(%name)
Opens a sav file to write the save data into. Formatted as $prefpath @"/saves/" @ %name @ ".sav". Once file is opened, other modules are signaled via a callback function to fill their own data into the $saveRecords list, which is then written to the file
saveEntries(%file)
Saves out the lines in the $saveRecords array to the file as opened by writeSave().
readSave(%name)
Opens a sav file to load the save data from. Formatted as $prefpath @"/saves/" @ %name @ ".sav". Once file is opened, readEntries() is called to parse line data.
readEntries(%file)
Reads the lines of a sav file as opened by readSave(). Uses <@moduleName> tags to segment loaded data to apply to the correct module code
insertSaveData()
A module namespace function that is signaled by writeSave(). Adds records into the $saveRecords array for writing out to the sav file.
parseSaveData()
A module namespace function that is signaled by readSave(). Reads records from the $saveRecords array for updating game values pulled from the sav file.
onSaveLoaded()
A module namespace function that is signaled by readSave() once all records have been read and processed. Used for final application of game logic once save loading is completed.
