Old toon savefile mining #27

Closed DougSK closed 7 years ago

DougSK commented 7 years ago

As I recall it, V5 of the planner intended to include functionality to carry your character forward from life to life. I was wondering if it would be possible to incorporate a small subset of that into the current planner. I'm talking about a simple file open dialog that allows you to pick the savefile from your last life, after which the planner could/would load past life and tome info to prep for the new one. It would probably have to ask you what kind of reincarnate you did after that life to add the new past life (lives if you ETR + TR). What with four types of past lives, it gets a bit tedious plugging that info in every life (and there's room for input error). I think it's just Past Lives and Tomes you'd mine at this point. Obviously if the planner ever covers other persistent stuff (Mysterious Remnant bonuses, for example), you'd want to add them to this function as well.

I would love to add that in. With one of the features to be added in the near future being epic Destinies this will be a big help. I think the way I will do it is that you will load the file and select a button to do a TR. This will add that clear all items that would normally clear during a TR, but leave some items in place and bring up a save as screen. It will basically be dumped down clear all. I might even be able to add this in for the next release as doing it this way will be very easy and the user will just have to add the new past life to the past life screen and I do not have to create any new screens.

That works, too. Long as you remember to prompt for the new past life feat(s), that'd be awesome.

I do not think that should be an issue should be able to change the information in the instructions box and set the menu option to be the past life section screen. By the way. I was just working on a toon and had to add all the past life info in, it was definitely a PIA. I did just think of some thing I will have to work out that will not be a direct save, which is tomes as they will now be apply at level 1, but that should not be that hard.

Right. Look up the final value and plug it in at L1.

I have finished the TR button and it is now in the program to be released in the next update. Closing this comment.
