(Review Completed) [SP] Abandoned Armies

[Goettschwan]

Actually i will be available,too, for testing your new version from the start because i doubleclicked a second time on the missions name :noo: . Anybody has a link for me telling me how the savegame files work, because undeleting the last mission save didn't do it and so i'd like to secure them somewhere.
OFp is storing save info only in that folder? (user/name/saved/missions/missionname)
Thanks, StG

What a pain!.  What you could do is <alt><tab> out of the game and either copy your save file, or rename it to keep it safe.

I didn't realise a double click would do that so just watch I will probably be double clicking into missions from now on.

Still look on the bright side, having a mixture of new and old testers will be a real help for me in the long run

As far as I am aware the only place the save file is saved is in the folder you mention.

[Goettschwan]

Double clicking on the missions name is apparently a "feature", which resets the mission to zero, deletes your previous savegame, and restarts fresh.
Why on earth they did this when all it does is imitate the restart button is a total mystery to me. Its dangerous  :'(

But then again i get to watch your new cutscenes and everything  

Thanks for your info !

YES!!!!!!!!! I got my replacement disc...... found Resistance completely missing... I think someone stole it, there has been a smashed window and a few other things missing. But thank god to my Flashpoint hard drve I managed to get it working with just the orginal disc and the files from my OFP HDD!!!!! So. Thob. When ya ready.. waiting eagerly for the next release! Damn I'm happy  

[XCess]

Ok.... I think I'ved been FADEd... My menu's have just dissapeared. Damn copyright laws.

[macguba]

Bad luck you, not a happy situation ... doesn't sound like FADE though - IIRC that affects gameplay, not things like menus.   Tech support on the official forums or the Avon Lady's FAQ.

Anyway, do not even think about straying into possibly illegal areas.

The good news is that GOTY appears to have been re-released and you can get it on play.com for a reasonable price.   So if all else fails at least you can buy it.

THobson, have you any idea when the next version might come out?  

[XCess]

Copying files from a my own legal install of Res shouldn't be illegal... ANyway.. seems to be working now after I removed the Addons folder... So confused  

[macguba]

Lol  ;D it's an addon issue ... it's ALWAYS an addon issue.  

Faulty addons can do really weird stuff to your OFP.   Add them back one at a time and see how you get on.

[XCess]

Lol yeah was doing that. Workin great now ;D Plus, I get to clear out my unit list a bit

@Xcess

borrowing, nay, downright stealing of AvonLady's Faq, if you hit deep doodoo, wipe out your ENTIRE user directory. OFP will fill in the blanks with default values for you to start again.

THobson, have you any idea when the next version might come out?  

I am aiming to beat the release of OFP2

Seriously - I have had to dismantle most of the cutscenes to change the story and the flow so what I have at the moment is a mission that doesn't work, it is not like I have a working mission that I am tweaking a bit.  My personal target is 3 weeks - but that will be a stretch given I am away the last week on May.  Even then I will not have done much to the intro or the end scene.

The changes from v1.10 will be at least as great as the changes from v1.00 to v1.10  I expect the release after that might be the final (but I thought that last time )

 :'( No Fair!!!! *does childish tantrum*

[Mikero]

Hey, I love childish tantrums, join the queue. Now MacGuba has two of us to keep an eye on.

[size=10] *****Get v1.20 here***** [/size] [/b][/url]

Notes for beta testers of v1.20:

Well here it is, v1.20.  It was going to be v1.11 but there were too many changes to limit the increment to the second decimal place.  

See Post #762 below

I can't wait to give this version a test.  Downloading now (14 meg?!  I guess I'll have to wait a while.  Maybe I'll study for that written test I'm supposed to take tommorrow...)

P.S. This time I'll try to finish it, THobson.
