Sigh. Here is EXAMPLE code for this, this now cancelled project, to which I have posted the source, shows you how you can load and save level data to/from text files.
The functions which you need to look at are:
LoadLevel()
LoadLevelObject()
and the Save level code (the Code Snippet box below, click the SOURCE button to see the rest of the code)
If scancode()=31
savename$ = XInput("Enter the filename for this level")
levelfname$ = "levels/"+savename$+".srl"
If File Exist(levelfname$) = 1
If XInput("Overwrite Existing File Y/N") = "y" Then Delete File levelfname$
Endif
If savename$ <> "" and File Exist(levelfname$) = 0
`Write Data
Open To Write 1,levelfname$
Write String 1,"["+levelname$+":"+Str$(levelgravity)+":"+str$(levelfuelrate)+":"+str$(leveloxygenrate)+"]"
`Write Each line (cycle through all objects)
for i = 0 to 2001
if object exist(1000+i) = 1
obj = 1000+i
prepstring$ = str$(objType(i))+","
prepstring$ = prepstring$ + str$(Object Position X(obj))+","
prepstring$ = prepstring$ + str$(Object Position Y(obj))+","
prepstring$ = prepstring$ + str$(Object Position Z(obj))+","
prepstring$ = prepstring$ + str$(objscale(i).ScaleX)+","
prepstring$ = prepstring$ + str$(objscale(i).ScaleY)+","
prepstring$ = prepstring$ + str$(objscale(i).ScaleZ)+","
prepstring$ = prepstring$ + str$(objTexture(i))+","
prepstring$ = prepstring$ + str$(objGhoststatus(i))+","
prepstring$ = prepstring$ + str$(objSpecial(i))+","
Write String 1,prepstring$
endif
next i
Close File 1
endif
endif
NOTE: This code can only handle two types of object, cubes and cylinders, however this could easily be expanded to take any object you wanted.
