Crispy Derived Source Port with More Save Slots

[Frost-Core]

Hello! so i have been having this issue that nags me out :

I have 8 slots for saving and no more

i think that vanilla has had this, is there a crispy derived source port so i can transfer my saves without corrupting them?

Please let me know.

Vanilla had 6 slots, so you have at least 2 more now. ;) I am currently not working on multi-page save and load menus, but the implementation should be pretty straightforward.

Okay, done. Will be in the next release.

BTW, may I ask why, instead of posting this as a feature request in the Crispy Doom thread, you open a new thread asking for a Crispy fork instead?!

it would be nice to add a option to change the keys for navigating the savegames menu, but for right now you just have to use page keys

EDIT : for some reason page keys don't work.

The global economic setbacks also have their effect on a local level, because reading comprehension has taken a fall for it.

Yeah you see, developers first have to develop something by writing code before it can be put to use. Then it needs to be tested. And then it has to be sent to the manufacturer. As luck would have it, the person who develops also does the quality control.

 

TLDR It takes time.

I love how this is completely not an answer to their question.

They are page keys of course.

You can already get the new build from Github Actions (master branch) if you want. It has your precious 8 save slot pages.

This is irrelevant to Fabian's question, you could've just replied with "yes/no, I do/don't know what 'PGUP' and 'PGDN' mean".

Because Fabian said the multi-page save menu feature will be in the next release, which means navigating it with page keys might also be implemented in the next release.

It works with the page up/down keys on my machine. The SDL libraries used by the daily builds are hopelessly outdated, so I'm confident it will work for the next release. It does on Linux. 

[NightFright]

I am still hoping there'll eventually also be x64 autobuilds. Woof has them after all, too.

ok fabian! cant wait for 5.11.2 (or 5.12.0?)!

[Lippeth]

Confirmed that it works properly in Windows 10 after building with MSYS2. I don't think I've ever had more than four saved games at one time before deleting them after finishing a wad or deciding to start over, so seeing eight pages with eight slots was certainly a sight. The new addition covers part of the statusbar which isn't the worst thing in the world, but would it be awkward to have 7 slots per page and have the page flipping menu sit where slot 8 currently is?

thank you! it works fine!

I've dabbled a bit in this version of crispy and I can say that it has a MUCH superior save system compared to PRBoom+ due to the greatly increased amount of slots.

But... my laptop doesn't have the number pad and also doesn't have page up/down, maybe in the future it can be rebindable in the config exe?

 

EDIT: Ik it might be a while before that gets implemented proper, everyone's only human afterall.

Modify the code and recompile, or use autohotkey, create a script then type this to change g and h to pageup and page down :

g::PgUp
h::PgDn

autohotkey is much easier so use that.

Just a word of caution.  MacOS has no page up page down keys.  So you should change it to something more compatible than IBM PC keyboards.

Don't fn+up arrow and fn+down arrow replace the page keys on more compact Apple keyboards? Plus they still sell full size keyboards with page keys that I rely on. Granted, I still use Catalina so I'm not sure what Monterey is up to but removing page up and page down would make working in programs like Pro Tools much more difficult.

Magic Keyboards (the mini ones) are way more popular than full sized unless you’re doing video editing.  Yes fn up and down do function like that, but unless the application will use this key set and support it with cocoa you can get mistakes where it will instead control a background app that also listens for these keys.  Similar to how holding down control and moving will instead trigger Mission Control.
