Game doesn't save after Splash Woman
« on: November 09, 2016, 02:24:56 AM »
So I've returned to MM8BDM after a while, and I got up to MM9 in the campaign, although one thing that is  a massive issue for me in-game is that the game doesn't save after Splash Woman. If I beat Plug Man's (And others after him) stage, there's no message saying that the game data has been saved, and the game doesn't save anything campaign related after Splash Woman. I'm not running any other WADs besides 2 maps that I've made, and I don't think that those maps would interfere with saving in any way. Has this issue happened to anybody else on here, or is it just me?

To me too, it was in gravity man's stage, somehow, I think it's related to the fact that to me, ballade appeared in wind man's stage and punk in toad man, I know this is crazy, but it happened, then, after some time, I decided to use #saveprogress cheat while I play it (also, this cheat gave me a 2nd chance to defeat the mega man killers since I lost to punk and ballade before), then somehow, when I fought Bass, I gave up, after exiting the game, it had lost all the memory (I swear I'm not trying to put fear on you, it really happened), but then, I downloaded the game again and used #saveprogress cheat to come back to Bass, since then the game didn't lost its memory neither didn't save. (And yes, i defeat Bass with buster, without any cheats, you can imagine the situation, at least it was after the game lost its memory, because even with the #saveprogress cheat I would fell kinda dishonored).

I can't reproduce this my end, splash and maps after are saving correctly for me. Could you upload your .ini file?

Yeah, I've seen your post as well, it's pretty odd.

I assume you're talking about zandronum-User, or another file?

Hmm I used your ini file and it still saves correctly after beating plugman. I notice you're running the following:

-file "C:\Users\User\Documents\MM8BDM-v5a\Personal Wads\TestWad1.wad" -file "C:\Users\User\Documents\MM8BDM-v5a\Personal Wads\TestWad2.wad"

Could you try without running these two wads? It's a stretch cause it should be quite difficult to screw up the save script but worth a shot.

Yeah, that did the trick. I don't know what's making those WADs interfere with the saving script, but at least the game saves now.
