oh yeah its undo

pegperegogaucho

sorry i just woke up

mr.rubinshtein

ye it would be very useful

pegperegogaucho

if you would want that, you would need to save every action in memory, like if you change a value you would need to store its previous value and the address of it i guess

pegperegogaucho

it's already difficult then

pegperegogaucho

but what if you for example create a new chunk, like a new squad?

adrientd

As Spork said, implementing a Undo system would be too complex.

adrientd

For a painting program, that could be easily done by saving backups of the drawing in memory every time you perform an action, but which can increase memory usage by a lot.

adrientd

Another possibility is to write for every operation code to undo it, which means writing more code (including designing the undo system).

adrientd

For the XXL Editor there is already too many variables and data to handle compared to a paint or text editor, so doing a Undo system will be much more difficult.

@adrientd Is adding a new ground to a sector as dangerous as adding it to the LVL?

adrientd

Adding a new ground at the sector might be ok (as it won't shift the other ground objects), but I would still be careful

adrientd

as long as you don't remove grounds

adrientd

that might be dangerous

pegperegogaucho

Well, then my extremely crazy idea will work out :FeelsEvilPepega:

@adrientd You can't patch the polish GameModule with the XXL-Modding-Patcher-X2Alpha, right?

adrientd

Of course you can

pegperegogaucho

it tells me "No DRM protected values found"

adrientd

Or I have memory issues :LUL:
