Multiple saved games

Post by Kevin »

Is it possible to have more than one saved game for each of the 2 types of RTC? I'd love to have several parties on the go at any one time - as you could in the original Atari version, if my memory serves me.

At the moment, there isn't. I know it's been suggested to have a DM2 like save game interface...but it's up to George.

The easiest way though, is to alt-tab out of RTC, and alter the saved game (*.sav) name in the rtc/modules folder. Alt-tab back in and resave, voila! And you can rename the saved game befroe you even start the game to start a brand new party from scratch. As long as you rename the saved games well, and know which one is current, then no problems.

The only reason the original atari/amiga versions could have multiple saved games were multiple disks...PC needed to have this swapping of file names too to have multiple saved games.
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!
