..save and it quits ..

Post by a white rabbit »

..so i have to leave the machine, and save the move, and toaw saves and closes..[&:]

..this has happened three maybe four times on this scen, Campaign for NA 43 40D a pbem, it hasn't happened once vs Elmer with Boonie's Vietnam 1 scen..

..i just tested with an old move, "save as", fine, then having saved toaw closes..

That's what it does. It's part of the anit-cheat mechanism as far as know.

..it didn't used to, toaw 1 to acow, and doesn't it make the save and quit option a bit redundant ?

There's a "save and quit" option? Where? Or do you mean the end-of-turn routine which creates the PBL?

I didn't say I understood why it does what it does. Just that it does. Does that make any sense? I am under the weather today sorry. Not feeling too good at all.

Best wishes,

Richard,

The exiting of the game, upon saves, and end of turns, for PBEM games is part of the anti-cheat security. Annoying perhaps, but it solves some cheats that plagued earlier versions.

Annoying, yes, but it prevents one of the worst cheats TOAW had.

..i never used it..

..except against myself, during some acow/BioEd tests, and, i'll admit to occasional crashes during playback..really, i've always lived on the limits, i had 4 months whilst my French ISP tried to give me 1mgB download, ultra -hi, before they got the idea that i was 0.5 km too far out..

..s'cool, just over the edge i can live with...

..but auto-close...wahhhhhhhhh..it's a teaching-scen, and be fair, i gotta a wife, 1yr old child, new farm to run, not to mention brown-outs, SMART-GOES LOOPY outs etc..

WTF?

..linguistics..

.."dag" is a multiplier, and "han" is the 'have' current/now root, so paghan, is "i had", maghan= "will have", add " 'ko" for "I" emphasis, tho the self-referential isn't greatly used here, however it is implied with a glottal-stoppy thing..

..as i said, much have = a lot, s'obvious Watson..

..come on Veers, s'a bloody asiatic language, more spoken than written, and franlky when written, from what i've heard needs dag'han ''''''' gaily distributed, cos on our mental keyboard, s'the** best we can do..

..s'except it's not a s'th sound, but more a s'ct sound..kimmee a symbol here..

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small. And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice...when she's ten feet tall.
