[SVN 1972] Serializer bugged

[Vee]

It saves much faster, that is true, but when going back to a zone after visiting some towns, the resolver got a problem:

Code: Select all

[DECAY] decaying        27123   iron longsword of accuracy
[DECAY] decaying        27120   iron dagger
[DECAY] decaying        27136   rough leather sling
[DECAY] decaying        27122   rough leather belt

The last LOG entries keep coming, the player is put someplace right in the middle of the map - not at entrance, and nothing can move - neither the player nor enemies - which I have a skeleton right within LOS.

This problem didn't occure, when I reentered the zone right after leaving it, but with two different characters after visiting a Zigur and Last Hope.

EDIT: The characters are then lost, as the problem occures on every load.

Fixed. Also added a no background save option, this freezes while saving as in the earlier betas but is even faster.

I'll probably do a beta14b or beta15 soon to let people benefit from the huge saving increase

Thanks! Works like a charm.

I have saving of every level enabled, and its really fun to play! Doesn't really take much time to finish saving - much faster than beta14.

I'll have to say the rewrite of the serializer was worth it!
