Original issue reported on code.google.com by dub...@gmail.com on 28 Jan 2010 at 8:51

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It didn't work because we pushed up a new .z8 file to red-bean.  It's a 
completely 
different executable now, so the savefile won't work.  Basically, a 'savegame' 
file is 
just a snapshot of the VM's memory state.  And now because it's a new .z8 file, 
the 
whole z-machine state is completely different from the start -- so the snapshot 
can't restore properly.

To really test this, try saving, closing the browser tab, then restoring in a 
new 
browser tab.

It restores OK in zoom, but not in parchment. I see that Ben actually brought 
this issue 
up (#88 on the parchment issue tracker) last May.

There's a big bunch of text after hoosegow.z8 in that url, and I'm not sure if 
that is 
some kind of giant hash tag identifying the saved game file or if it actually 
is the game 
state (in quetzal format?) What ever it is, it is huge, like 5216 characters. I 
don't think 
most HTTP GET's allow that large an argument to be passed, so I think we're 
getting 
hung up at that level even if everything were working.

That data is the base64 encoded quetzal save file. I've never had any problems 
with
it being too long. The hash isn't actually sent over HTTP remember...

A long term plan of mine is to alter the proxy server so that it will store old
versions of story files. Then if you need to restore a save file after the 
story file
has been updated, you can request the specific version it needs.
