Saves and Persistence

Saves and Persistence

DoomCraft uses the LZDoom save system rather than copying the native process memory byte for byte.

Save directory

Each TV has its own UUID and save directory:

config/doomcraft/saves/<TV-UUID>/

Automatic save state

The automatic save slot belongs to the TV session.

It is used when:

• the player moves outside the active range;
• the TV enters hibernation;
• the native process is unloaded;
• the world closes.

Returning to the same TV allows DoomCraft to attempt to restore that session.

Manual savegame

Press Home while controlling an active TV.

DoomCraft generates a unique internal save identifier:

<PLAYER-UUID>_<TIMESTAMP>_<MINECRAFT-VERSION>_<WORLD-SEED>_<TV-UUID>

Example:

3883af685d0346d9b9c277edd936649f_1784913561123_262_M4215249874687_77454164867486a716446655440000

Rules:

• UUIDs are stored without hyphens;
• timestamp precision is milliseconds;
• Minecraft 26.2 becomes 262;
• negative seeds use the prefix M;
• unavailable multiplayer seeds use NOSEED.

DoomCraft records the most recent manual slot in:

latest-manual-save.txt

Press End to load that slot for the current TV.

Text entry limitation

Minecraft keyboard input is not currently forwarded as complete text input to LZDoom save-name fields.

Use:

• Home to create a save;
• End to load the latest manual save;
• the LZDoom Load Game menu when supported by the current session.

Moving or replacing the TV

A newly placed TV receives a new UUID. Version 1.0.0 does not automatically migrate old saves to the new TV identity.
