Why no relay?

Why no relay?

cos with relays the early game is over too fast.  8)

Interesting and fun map.  But for whatever reason I can't seem to get victory.  I think I've nullified everything but I guess I'm overlooking something.  Also, I think the ability to use relays and/or berthas, after the outcome is in hand, would have made the game more enjoyable by speeding up the ending.  Thanks for creating the map.

thanks dude, i did consider putting relays in as a pickup but i wanted to avoid the speed merchants working out something i missed and getting it done too fast.

glad you had fun!  8)

i don't know why you cannot end the map... there were no scripts involved in these maps other than the basic pyramids one that Virgil put into the game... so nothing should break it!  :o

have you got a save you could attach to a reply?  i would like to try to replicate that bug (if it is a bug... maybe you did miss something?  i doubt this, since there is nothing to miss really, just emitters and spore towers...

I'd be happy to, but (and this is embarrassing), I"m not sure how.  I assume you're talking about the underlying file and not just a screen shot.  If you can tell me how, I'll give it a shot.  I'm on a Mac.  And I'm OLD.  ;)

[teknotiss]

ahh not sure of the Mac paths but each save game is held in a folder attached to the map ID.

don't be embarrassed dude, no one knows anything until we are taught it, and until now you have had zero need to know this bit of computer lore...

so on my Windows system it is

C:\Users\tek\Documents\creeperworld3\colonialspace\maps\9500

then you look for the file ID (#9584 for this one) and there will be a few of the IDs with

9584-auto (autosave)
9584-0 (1st save)
9584-1 (2nd save)
9584-2 (you get the idea)
9584-3 (pretty sure you know what i am getting at here anyway!  ;) ;D )

so the one of those you used last will the be the easiest to use i think.

also, you better be really old  :o, i'm over 40 and have been building PCs since i was 6!  ;) ;D 8)  never too late to learn anyway, everyday is a schoolday and all that!

You haven't collected all of the pickups (guppies, bombers, etc).

You are correct.  Thanks for the tip, that solved the issue.
