Is there a definitive topic on the online profile?

[jeremyosborne]

I daren't file this in a bug because it's probably my fault, somewhere.

I've now got TOME b24 on two computers: one a windows, one a mac.

I can log in to my online profile on both. (see: http://te4.org/user/3436/characters)

I can see the test character that I made on windows just now on the web page next to my 3 mac characters (2 dead, 1 living).

When I log into my Mac version of the game, I only get the living character that I made on my mac.

When I log into my Windows version of the game, I only get the living character that I made on my windows box.

I was carefully watching the logs when I loaded the game and didn't see any error message. Instead, I saw what seemed to be a confirmation that my character was indeed registered and saved to the online profile.

Anyone else successfully share a profile between windows and mac? (b24 specific)

Sounds like a bug to me moving this...

Profiles sync yoru unlocks, stats and achievements, not your characters (they are too big)

[jeremyosborne]

Hmmm, then this might be a bug because my achievements and unlocks were not transfered.

My Mac b24 game has 19/22 birth option unlocks.

My PC b24 game has 0/22 birth option unlocks.

No modifications were made to b24. When I first started playing on 20b on my mac, I was not using online profiles, but on b21 I switched over to online profiles.

When I look in my profiles directory, it _seems_ like everything is okay. Ask if you want me to dig any file out for you to peruse:

Is there a legit way to copy characters between computers?

I mean, I'm going to try and see anyway, but other than line endings and compiled code, I'm assuming most things are the same between systems.

[jeremyosborne]

Hold on, stop the bug filing....

I'm not sure why, but I do know I just gave this a try again on my windows computer and the achievements have synced.

The one thing that was not constant during the two tests is my internet connection.

Well that is mighty cool! I love being able to sync the achievements.

Now to try porting characters

Between two computers that have the same architecture, yes. Just copy the entire save game directory from ~/.t-engine/4.0/tome/save/ or your platform's equivalent.

Between two computers that have different architectures, no, save games are not fully compatible. I tried it myself -- I replaced my old desktop computer (running Debian 6.0 i386) with a new one (running Debian 6.0 amd64). Rebuilt the same version of ToME 4 from svn, ran it, tried to load my saved game -- and it mostly worked, but I got Lua errors on anything quest-related. I couldn't bring up the quest log at all, and any time I killed a monster that could conceivably drop an alchemist quest ingredient, I got another Lua error, and another interruption... it became unplayable quite quickly. I don't even want to think about how bad it would have been in Reknor or the Far East, getting an interruption for every single orc....

Yes different architecture means the bytecode dump for functions is incompatible.
i'm working a tokenized function dump which will be independent and allow to use luajit2, but it's not there yet

(running Debian 6.0 amd64)

I would really appreciate if darkgod put to the "Download" section of the website, that linux binary is only for x86

[darkgod]

32bit apps should run without problem on 64bit systems.
Does it not for you ?

[sindikat]

When i tried to run it, it first complained about lack of libGL.so.1 file, and when i made a symlink from /usr/lib32 to /usr/lib64, it started to complain about wring ELF number. i don't have binary now, so i can't check. So i simply compiled from source.

btw, something happened to this page, please check: http://te4.org/wiki/t4modules-module-howto-guides
