copylevel()
 

Could anyone give me a working example of it? Ive used this command in GS1 before, but for some reason I just couldnt get it to work yesterday (tried both GS1, GS2 with both a Weapon and a DB NPC).

copylevel("path/to/level","new/path/to/copy")

new/path/to/copy has to be a different folder than the first
ie:
copylevel("levels/onlinestartlocal.graal","levels/backup/onlinestartlocal.graal");

Somewhere in the serversided part of the NPC System/Main:

NPC Code:

---

echo( "Copying level..");

copylevel( "levels/genlevel1.nw", "levels/generated/genlevel1.nw");

---

also tried

NPC Code:

---

echo( "Copying level..");

copylevel( "genlevel1.nw", "generated/genlevel1.nw");

---

Nothing worked, and the "Copying level.." text is shown on RC.

*bump*

Still not working for me..

do you have savelevels=true in your serveroptions?

savelevels=false

Changing to true.. now let me test if it works!


EDIT: Didnt work..

does the generated/ folder exist? That might be one of the reasons it's not working.

savelevels=true is only for updateboard2.

There has to be a file already in the folder you are copying to.

There doesn't have to be a file in the directory for the directory to exist.

The directory will exist in the file browser, but without a file in it it does not physically exist. The only function that makes new folders, to my knowlege, is savevars/lines. copylevel will NOT. You need a placeholder file, that takes up some form of space. ie: not a 0kb file.

That would be correct. Didnt work untill I put a file into the folder, and well - now it works.

If you put a file in it originally, and then delete the file, the directory will still exist. Which is why it is handy to have the 'delete folder' option on RC2.
