Building buildings before the game starts (bug)

[Siccles]

but will it still be possible to submit scores with earlier than the latest patch version? if yes it would result to nothing at all (and even if it would, they could just replay the map and finish it and submit the old cheated score if it isnot purged)

[Aurzel]

he's right it would need to overwrite the previous scores which probably a lot of people wont be happy about

[TheBuilder]

just cause i want to be a cheater for the time the bug has left, how did u place/build units before the textbox appears?
i paused the game before the textbox appears and I cant place any buildings, dont know if i need to use teh number pad or if it dont matter?

Seriously how did u do that?

[Siccles]

since it will be fixed anyway, I doubt it would hurt if I tell you:

start a map, while in the loading screen press p (for pause) if you did it right (and not too early) you will see a kinda grey and darkened out map. Now check if the buildings in the lower left are alight or dark, if they are dark press p 2 times very fast after another. Now check if they are alight again, and if not, repeat the hitting of pp.

Once they are alight, set down any buildings you want and then unpause (text should appear now)

Now wait till all the buildings are complete and then close the textbox

k thanks

[TheBuilder]

to make it easier,

Press pause as soon as u see the mission loading screen,
though i dont know wat u mean by a darkened map, all i see is a black screen with mission loading in the middle

[Aurzel]

guess i did it wrong, what i did is kept pressing 1 as fast as i could till the txt box came up and then started placing stuff and they built normally with packets though the emitters werent emitting yet until after i closed the box

Dang, and I can't manage to do it. Any particular map that this works on?

ETA: I'd like to beat Xylnala's Oh Snap map w it.... :)

[Dranar]

It works in the game. Just click on any map in story mode and keep pressing 1 as fast as you can.

Virgil,is there anyway to reset those highscores?

[knucracker]

Scores from the older versions of the game don't go into the new high score tables.  The old score tables are still there, though.  I may eliminate them over time...
