saving game

Post by Martijn »

when I save the game in an EMC level and load it, there appear two players instead of one and the level starts at the beginning again! This was the case with Bond Mine 1.

Oops?! I have already created many tapes from EMC levels, and never had such problem.

I'll check this with the set you mentioned, and report what happened!

Did you have the same problem also with other EMC sets, or only with Bond Mine 1?

(You played in single player mode, right?)

I play in single player mode, yes. (And I should not save but sometimes I do...)

It is the case in all the levelsets (games) as far as I know. I tested it in some of them.

I did some more tests and never had such problem.

Now Jue also reported this bug! :-o

Has anybody an idea what to do to reproduce this bug with version 3.2.1?

What about comparing your setup.confs with each other?

Well, I did the tests with a fresh "setup.conf" (renaming the user data folder for the tests, so R'n'D created a new one and a new setup file), so this should make no difference.

Martijn, could you eventually also test this from scratch (if you did not already do this)?

I did it from scratch and the problem is over!!!
So everyone who experiences this problem should rename the 'Rocks'n'Diamonds' folder in the My Documents folder, then start the game and then move only the levels, levelsetup and tapes directories from the renamed folder to the new one and delete the renamed one to have a working save function!

Have you stored the old "setup.conf" that seems to have caused the problem?

Wonder what exactly may have caused that problem...

I think I've found this bug now -- if it's the same bug you discovered, then it's only a graphical bug. (Just move the player after tape reloading and everything should be normal.)

This bug only appears when using EMC levels and fullscreen mode.

Should be fixed now (in 3.2.2).

No, I can remember that - when I pressed a key - the player began to walk and that the second player stayed there and that it was still at the beginning of the level.
