[Suggestion][QuickLoad]

[erosbk]

Hi, assuming that every time a savefile is loaded every asset/tactical map must be loaded, I suggest the following approach:

 

-Tactical Game:

When savefile is loaded, define:

global variables:

.LoadedSaveFile [ID of the loaded file]

.List[TrackAction] [changes on map/actions]

 

-Behavior on Action:

When an action is taken, save on "TrackAction" the following, only when action is taken:

.Soldier/Alien position/stats

.Destroyed objects

 

-Behavior on Load savefile

Check LoadedSaveFile variable vs SaveFile being loaded. If the same, rollback based on List[TrackAction]. If not, full reload. 

 

With this approach you can reduce resource consumtion, loading times for same savefile for repetitive turns (save scum), improve memory management... and makes everyone happy =)

 

Best regards!

Awesome game for and old X-COM and Xenonauts player ;)
