steveh11Matrix -> Is there an Save-Game* editor?* (6/14/2010 11:44:30 AM)
I'm guessing that the answer to this will be a resounding "No!", as it seems to be GG/Matrix's policy to avoid this like the plague, for reasons I've never understood. But since you're designing this from the bottom up and we're only in alpha - could you include an save-game editor please? I mean one that would allow me to play against the ai, save a position and explore what-if's from there? [&o][&o][&o]

Not the answer I was hoping for, but the one I was expecting, darn it. Playing against the AI and switching, as you suggest, isn't what I was looking for. I guess I'll keep replaying the first weeks of the war, like I do in WitP... Steve.

You can save the game at any point and go on from there and save again at any point.

Great_Ajax -> RE: Is there an Save-Game* editor?* (6/14/2010 2:26:04 PM)
You can take a save game, change the extension to .scn, move it over to the /scen folder and then open it up in the editor. You can then make your edits and save it as its own scenario. I just tried it.

Then I am sure some modders will come up with nice little external programs that can be run on the saves between the turns to modify production, R&D and withdrawals. That will add some dynamics and a huge "what-if" potential to the game. I am sure lots of people will be looking for that. Could you guys add the save game extension to the editor so you can open saves in one step? Probably trivial.

Trey Trey, are you sure that this functionality would remain after our ALPHA / BETA (I seriously doubt because it opens "a can of worms" [;)])? Leo "Apollo11"

Helpless -> RE: Is there an Save-Game* editor?* (6/14/2010 9:22:59 PM)
Well, it's not so nice and shiny as Trey described. Scenario data handling is very much different from the save files data. So in fact there is no clean way to export save data to scenario - it is probably caused more troubles than help in troubleshooting. There could be various way to provide such functionality in final product, but it's a priority question. Don't think it's going to happen on first release.
