Title: SC2 Save file problem
Post by: LoreAlmighty on November 17, 2005, 06:00:30 am
When I try to use this save file:

http://www.fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?/classicgaming/starcontrol/sc2/save49.zip

it crashes my game.  I can't even select the save file, when I try to get near it, my game just crashes.

Is  it the same UQM-version?

AFAIK, UQM 0.4 cannot read older UQM save-file versions (<=0.2).

Enjoy!

UQM doesn't read SC2 save games at all. Sorry.

So....it was for the PC version?

Considering that the file is timestamped 1998 and the UQM project started in 2002, I'd be surprised if it were a UQM save (although faking timestamps is trivial). Besides, the filename follows the PC SC2 save game naming convention and not the UQM convention.

Right... And in the path it says SC2, not UQM. I'm pretty sure that Chad would take care to separate on the Pages of now and forever the SC2 and UQm-save-games.
