The sword and the faith

Every time i start working on protocraft FG tries to autosave, even though ive disabled autosaving, and because it cannot save C:\ect\ect\Protocraftautosave.fgp or whatever, it freezes and stops working.

Help?

That's odd.

I just turned off the auto-save function and haven't been bothered by it since. :ermm:



None.

I remember I had this problem when I moved\renamed the FG folder, and when it goes to autosave, its like "I CANT FIND IT!!!!!!!! *kills self*" Try checking that autosave path, and make sure it exists.



If anything cool is ever going on Skype me up under the name "blarghle"

Autosave wasn't really heavily tested to begin with. The path sometimes goes screwy, especially moving things around. I'm working on making it more robust in the next version.



None.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
