Hi all, 

 

I'm new to Fortress survival and have think i understand the -load  and -save commands in game. I have like 10 or so different files in the folder where the load files should be but keep getting errors ingame and every day or so the XP resets back to 0.

 

Could i be a problem that I'm saving more than once in a game? 

 

Please help! 

 

Thanks,

Tobric

no

 

im 95% certain you misunderstand how the -load command works.

 

the syntax is : `-load <code>`

if you open up one of those files in notepad you will find the entire command in quotes.

 

`-load` without the code part does nothing. so if you have been using it like that then you have essentially been starting from 0 every game because the load fails with an "invalid code"

 

 

-load functionality was supposed to be automatic (in fact it WAS in some 6.00 beta versions) however it induced epic lag while the game state was synced so we decided against it in the end.

 

we might take another shot at it some time (new more efficient ways to sync game state have been found) but its probably not going to be soon.

OK. That makes a bit more sense. Thank you.

 

So do I need to write down the code each time I use the -save code?

As mentioned by Waffle(est), you have to open one of the saved files in notepad to get your load code.

Once you have opened the load code of your choice, you can copy and then paste it when in-game.
