Title: Conversion of old saves to the new version?
Post by: macRay on August 02, 2008, 02:50:43 pm

Hi Folks! First of all: Great work! Wow, it makes just as addited as the original version. I infected already three for UFO_AI_THE_DRUG. Really cool. Just some graphics are still with a very bad screen resolution (I play 1900x1200).

Now two questions (Dont know if they are mac-specific, 'cause of that: here)

I upgraded UFo, but in the "old" version (2.2) i have still a very advanced capaign running. I would like to transfer the saved games to the new version (2.2.1.). If its possible: How I do?

In the advanced campaign (standart) I have the sensation, that the KI slept in:
1) I dont have enemy ufo-movement anymore (could not test one of my brandnew Dragon-Fighters).
2) I still could not reach the "level" where I can buy vehicles for the team-missions
3) None of my bases got attacked by aliens
4) Even missions got rare and if, I still find just a few targets there

For sure I took quite a time to be there and Im working a lot... so I dont have too much time to start everything from the beginning (and maybe have the same problem again). Probably there is a way to "wake up" the KI?! Or how I can avoid shes "sleeping in"?

Greetings from a huge fan of your project! Keep doing, youre doing great!

go into your user dir (see our faq to get the path on a mac) and copy the savegames from the 2.2 subdir into the 2.2.1 subdir. in general savegames are not compatible between major releases, but should between minor releases.

AFAIR you cannot use UGVs until 2.3

which is quite broken ATM. when it is fixed it should be much better...

Thank you very much...

What is about base-attacking aliens? This is just available in further version too?

One more general question:
Have additional enemies in higher levels of dificulty or there are just can take more damage until they fall?
Have another increases (bigger maps...) in the higher levels, or just less money, less personal for recruit...?

Greetings macRay

your soldiers take more damage at higher difficulties,
also you start with less
probably other stuff too.

base attacks were in 2.1, i think they are back in 2.3. never happenned to me in 2.2, but that does not mean it will never happen.
