Binary object - using workspaces

[uprize]

Hey all,

Does anybody know anything about using workspaces in the binary object? What are the capabilities/limitations?

basically what i want to do is use the binary level to create multiple banks of data. For example, on one bank i will store all map tile data such as type of terrain and location. The next bank will have all player information, third bank will have strings such as map information etc. and so on.

Does anybody know anything about using workspaces or is there a tutotial about this?

cheers

I made a map editor using the binary object. I'm not sure what you mean by multiple banks of data, but I've devised a 'layer' system, allowing me to store data in different sections of the file.

This example has one part of map data, then the next is strings such as author and title of the map. I hope it helps.

Workspace is a really big, nice and useful features.
It allow you to save easily a bunch of different binary data in different banks and then to load them as you want.

The only problem actually is that if you try to load a file which is not a workspace as workspace, binary object will crash your application...

netninja - I already have that example and it is great, it is what got me into using binary in the first place. But I mean using banks as sphax mentioned.

sphax - yeh what I was trying to get at. So basically I use the load bank and save bank features to access the part of the binary file I want?

Does anyone have a tutorial or example to help me out?

you can load a file in binary space or in a bank.
You can load only one file in binary space but you can load all files you want in different banks.
Then, when you save the workspace, it will save all banks and binary in one file.

OK i will do some mroe experimenting and see how I go.
thanks sphax
