Saving inventory about gdinv

[rishikiram]

I have been writing json files which I store in a specified folder that the user must set in the GDInv settings(Project -> Project Settings -> General -> Plugin Setting -> GDInv). The plugin loads all of the json files into the data base when run. The only 'save' is creating these json files. To create the json files I wrote a python script which I run through Terminal on Mac. Hope this helps somewhat

@rishikiram I don't think that would work for my usage case.

I have items being add to the inventory, taken out, stacks being deleted and such.

My current implimentation works kind of okay. Stuff like having multiple stacks of the same item doesn't work, and breaks.

There has to be a better way of storing STACKS in a file.

I didn't wrote any kind of inventory (de)serialization code. I put it on game developer. Because everybody has own game saving system that different from one game to another.

Somebody uses scene nodes saving via to_json, somebody make completelly own system that deals with binary data or dozens of JSONs.

If you really want I can make default implementation of JSON (de)serializing code for the item stacks.

I added methods for (de)serializing stack and inventory data as JSONs.

Cool.

I'll see if I can implement it soon.
