Matrix Games Forums

Okay, some I'm kind of new to messing with the editor. Looking at file sizes, I would suspect that the game must access the database files at some point in the turn cycle - that is, it doesn't look like all the database info is stored in the save game file. If I'm correct in that assumption, then can someone tell me when the database is accessed? Is it before combat run, or when the game is loaded, or some other time?

The goal I'm after is to be able to modify the devices of an in progress game. Is it possible? I've tried so far, and it seems even though the DB saves my changes (ie, they are there when I reload), I don't see the changes reflected in game. I was going to plug away some more, but was thinking someone else has had to have gone through this process before.

Also, does working under scen 15 affect anything? I have just been changing the file names of my device files to '15' after I save them to an unrestricted slot.

Any help would be appreciated!

Database scenario files are only accessed when a new game is started. After that all the data is held in the game save file.

Bummer, I was afraid you'd say that!
