Bugs/Suggestions / Re: [Bug?] Story Mode - Stuck in MM5's introduction cutscene

Inside that, type in "mm8bdm_saveprogress" and hit enter, and let me know what that says. That's the variable that tracks how far you're supposed to be in the game.
After that, you can try typing "mm8bdm_saveprogress 1070" to skip straight to the MM8 chapter.
I asked in the devchat and it seems the prevailing theory is that it's got something to do with the usage of the "Save" and "Load" function in Zandronum. It doesn't tend to play well with the game's systems, so it might have caused your issue. Sorry about that.
Hope the console command works, and I also hope you enjoy the new content!
Hello there! First, thank you for the quick and detailed answer, I appreciate it a lot.
Right, so I went to the console and typed "mm8bdm_saveprogress", and the result was "1040". So I guess most of my progress was definitely lost after that situation I had with alt-tabbing + forcibly closing the game.
But good news! Typing "mm8bdm_saveprogress 1070" worked wonders and now the MM5 cutscene is no longer there. Everything prior to MM8 is unlocked, and a new cutscene is awaiting me now. Eureka! I'll try to stick to the game's regular autosave feature from now on, and I'll definitely won't be alt-tabbing again.
BIG thanks, Korby! I had a feeling there was some sort of console command that could help me with this, but I had no idea what it could be, specially since MM8BDM has its own line of coding and unique commands. I can now continue my nostalgia adventure thanks to you, and I'll be sure to check out the new content!
Thanks again! See you around!
