I heard there is a MULTIPLAYER map where you can save your units, you get a code, and anytime you play that game you can load your unit by typing in the code! how is that posible!? plz i need to know ASAP.

i havent seen it myslef but i asume he uses the code to create a new hero identical to your old 1, maybe the first digits tells it which hero you were then the next say what level then what items you had etc. if it does this it must be some beastly trigger.

Even though it saves items as well?

It saves everything except name, and has 30 FREAKING DIGITS of code in the format: xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx. Must have been REALLY hard to make.

This system was originally created by Dakan. You can find out all about it here along with an open-sourced demo map.

hmm.. It shouldn't be that hard because i think that unit-types and item-types are really integers ( as well as abilities)

Unless theres a new patch, Legacies only allows the base hero lvl, not items. Also, its just a medium long algebraic eqation determining the class and level. If you look at a couple codes of the same class, you notice a pattern. I got a lvl 19 defender in 1 day because i cracked the code. Your saved game isnt directly saved, its not possible. Items would have to have seperate codes like Gauntlet, but people would abuse this too much.

Also, try not and assume what everybody knows and doesn't know, its common sense (Which isnt very common) to see that your code doesnt change if your level doesnt change so it couldn't actually save your game, just a code.

Legacies allows hero type, level (not exp, we felt that would make high levels too easy to reach), lumber (gems), gold, and 6 items (stash items do not save, it's temp space for potions and doctor herbs ingame), a few security features, and between-map quests (Legacies was created to be a multi-map RPG, but we have to finish tweaking Tides before we can go onto other maps, that way we don't have to redo all of the changes we make several times). Currently the code is, in my opinion, too long, this is bilouxi's version that uses numeric only. We have a code conversion to alpha-numeric which should make the code 20 digits or so, but bilouxi will not allow me to implement it in full, so the current limitations will probably remain. Also, we did not get the idea from Dakan, we were planning a character save code as a necessity for a multimap online game, and it was a surprise to us when we released lagacies and gauntlet was already out with one.

Oh yes, and there are way too many versions, but it is a beta, so please bear with us, there's plenty more to be done. If you would like to help, send any suggestions or bugs to

Obviously Pesmerga you've been playing the very old version with the easy to crack 10 digit code... any even SLIGHTLY new versions have 30 digit codes that also can save items.

Here Is a recent, related post, and it includes a link to the program needed to open Dakan's map. I'm not sure if FM_Osiris' map needs the same, but if it does, there it is.

wow, too much info for me to get all at the same time.... All the threads link to other threads and then when you think "This is it!" and bam it links me to another thread... im extramly confused... so, in the end IS there a way to save a unit, and its items in a multiplayer map using 30 or less digit code? if there is could someone PLZ just tell me ehter how i can do it, where i can get the program that does it, or where i can get the Demo map that does that? PLZ i really need it. oh and thanx everyone for the help so far. its been helpfull and confusing at the same time :bgrun:

Just follow kharma's link and download the program on the thread, as for what pesmerga said you can save items and they have a 30 save digit code, and i only say not many know because of what i hear.

I noticed that you only can save game once, but i know a way how to save so many times u want, you may know this but i just wanted to tell ya that, you can save the game, quit game, host the ame again by loading it, and make the ppl join ur server again, then you can save again, i use that one much, i hope it helped you, bye.
