Loading warning on OK savegames #180

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
When I am in the load screen with old savegames using the BETA exec (revision 
994) there is a box with a warning about how loading this save may crash the 
game.

But my savegames are all "new" savegames from after the changes we made. So 
technically it should not warn me. And indeed it loaded correctly.

Also, perhaps the text could be changed to: "Warning, old savegame format. 
Loading it may crash the game."
It's not super clear why some savegame may say that or not for a user.

True, the warning message text could be clearer. I'll change it.

We don't have a surefire way of telling whether an unnamed save is from UQM-HD 
Alpha or vanilla UQM. If we had, there would be no need for this message at 
all. That is why it's displayed for both the Alpha saves and vanilla UQM saves.

I've changed the warning message to the one you suggested.

I have now implemented a fully-compatible save/load in r996. Named beta saves, 
unnamed alpha saves plus old vanilla UQM saves should now work and not crash 
the game.

Thus I have also removed the warning message for saves in old format.

But is everything as peachy as it seems to me? Is there glitches? Do the saves 
behave as they should??
