Builds:<\/p>\n
So it’s been just a little over two weeks since the Milestone 8 build, and I’m absolutely exhausted.\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n
Milestone 9 is almost identical to milestone 8, except that it adds very (very<\/em>) early support for saving and restoring game state.\u00a0 And milestone 8 was almost identical to milestone 7 in terms of gameplay mechanics, so if you’re new, you’ll want to check the instructions in the milestone 8<\/a> and milestone 7<\/a> posts, or you won’t know what’s going on.<\/p>\n Some notes on the save game support.\u00a0 There are a small number of things which aren’t yet being saved\/loaded:<\/p>\n Everything else should work — map layout, region zoning, edited terrain types, roads and passes, building placements, towns, monsters and players and subscribers and etc.\u00a0 Should all just work.\u00a0 Please bang on it a little and let me know if you spot anything misbehaving!<\/p>\n It’s worth noting that in this build, the saved game files are in a plain text format, and should be viewable\/editable in any text editor (which understands UNIX-style line endings.\u00a0 Sorry about that.)\u00a0 RIght now, a saved game tends to clock in at about 1.5 megabytes, but could get larger as an MMORPG grows.\u00a0 I haven’t really tested saves very far into the game, yet.<\/p>\n Under Windows, you should find the saved games in C:\/Users\/<your name>\/AppData\/Roaming\/VectorStorm\/MMORPG Tycoon 2\/save\/sandbox\/<\/p>\n Under OSX, you should find the saved games in ~\/Library\/Application Support\/VectorStorm\/MMORPG Tycoon 2\/save\/sandbox<\/p>\n Under Linux (if you’re me, since I haven’t worked out how to set up the linux build so anybody but me can run it.\u00a0 If there’s demand for this, please let me know!), you’ll find them in ~\/.local\/share\/VectorStorm\/MMORPG Tycoon 2\/save\/sandbox<\/p>\n In the future, I’ll be compressing these save files so that they take up less hard disk space.<\/p>\n It’s also worth noting that games saved when playing a scenario (such as the tutorial) will go into a different directory, and won’t be available to load, in this build.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Builds: Win32 build OSX build So it’s been just a little over two weeks since the Milestone 8 build, and I’m absolutely exhausted.\u00a0 :) Milestone 9 is almost identical to milestone 8, except that it adds very (very) early support for saving and restoring game state.\u00a0 And milestone 8 was almost identical to milestone 7…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3016,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":""},"categories":[24,25],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/m2.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/po9WK-Wx","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3629"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3629"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3629\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3630,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3629\/revisions\/3630"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
