While backing up levels, ganis and graphics on rc is easy
with the upload/download drag and drop window,
there is no easy way to back up your weapon npcs,
database npcs, or classes.
You have to go in and copy and paste all those snippets of code
into a text editor.
How about another RC button called "NPC Backup"
that does an sql retreival (if the npcs are stored in some kind of database on the server) and grabs the code of all your weapons, classes, and database npcs into three files in a folder that can be downloaded, as one would download a level.
For example, weapons.txt might look like this
HTML Code:
/////////////////////////////
//image : bomb.png
//name : Bomb
//#CLIENTSIDE
if actionOnWeaponfired()
{
//do bomb stuff with putnpc2 since putexplosion dosent work on a gmap;
}
/////////////////////////////
//next npc here and so on
and you would have similar data in classes.txt and databasenpcs.txt
It would be a big time saver, especially on servers like mine where we have a ton of npcs.
