The Save Structure (Palm OS)
Posted: Wed Aug 30, 2006 7:50 pm
I don't have the manual in front of me (apologies) but here's the way I think the Save structure works:
1. There appears to be only one file: Autosave.blitzkrieg
2. This file is Automatically saved at the end of every turn
3. If you are in the middle of a fight and you save it then Autosave.blitzkrieg is overwritten
4. If you launch another battle and End your Turn then the file is also overwritten.
This is pretty wacky and unsafe, no? Perhaps I'm just misunderstanding it.
If this IS the save system then wouldn't a safer method be to create an Autosave##.blitzkrieg file where ## was the scenario number of the scenario? This is still cheesy but at least a save from one battle wouldn't be overwritten by a save from another battle.
There would also be a "You have a save for this battle, would you like to continue from this save?" whenever you start a scenario with a saved file.
