A new cool idea for Abula, vk, milagros.

Last night I had a revelation. What about making a state.dat generator!

You log in on kuski gallery and press a button, and the following happens:

Your name is matched with the records database and your best times are gathered
Then a state.dat is created with those times and a secret link (like on vk0) is created and you can download the new state.dat file

This would be very useful if you have lost your state.dat, but has sent it in to moposite sometime.

I don't think this could be used for cheating, since you only get one time on each level.

What do you think?

How the hell can you lose your state.dat... ?

It can't just disappear

dz · Post by dz » 2 Sep 2004, 05:33

It gets corrupted once in a while.
Also your hard disk could fail you.
Actually that's all I can think of.

there isn't much point in generating one for everybody all the time, but i guess if you did lose your state, you should be allowed to have one generated using your best times on Records page. imo

abula saves all states that has been sent in to moposite so if u lose state/have corrupt state or whatever, ask abula

Don't even think that you don't have to worry about or take back-ups because there's always Abula.

Some automatic state.dat retuner would be ok. Let's see.

wtf is wrong with you, i have lost mine for the first time since i started playing

Post by **Abula** » 15 Oct 2004, 13:10

I've never lost my state.dat. Remeber back ups, boys.

dz: you can also delete it yourself "Stupid game I won't ever again play it!"

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 15 Oct 2004, 17:54

This game will die then when Abula starts to delete all his stuff because of 'Stupid Game!! etc.'

maybe there should be a back-up of the moposite, if for example all the records get lost of olp i think a lot the veterans wouldn't send in there times and i don't think all of them still have the level and replay files

Post by **Abula** » 4 Nov 2004, 17:25

At least WR replays and all contest replays are stored by me. OLP and Across are up to px.

but all in the same house?
if it burns down, it is gone?

Post by **Abula** » 18 May 2008, 20:20

Now my system is behind RAID1, also there are quite many CDs burned occasionally. But still everything is in my room so don't come to burn it please.
