Data updates -Very cool surprise
Posted: Tue Feb 16, 2010 5:12 pm
I had noticed in my current AI game that the data I had entered for a ship class and ship in my mod was screwed up. Didn't even want to start over for a minor issue, so I saved the game and then made the correction with the editor to the ship's class and subsequent updates.
When I started playing again I got a message "Add database changes to this user designed campaign". Selected yes, and low and behold, while the ship's current configuration did not change the scheduled update for the ship included the corrected devices.
Maybe this is only new to me but it so very cool. I can see where it may be possible to correct other current game's erroneous ship data on a one month delay basis using this feature. Hope so.
Again this was a "user designed mod and campaign"
Oh BTW, when saved games are loaded it states that the original data was changed.
