MTW-Redux Beta Released!

[Axalon]

Hi there Zasz,

Let me first repeat what I said to Alphington back in post 132:

…this problem you are describing seems strange and with the limited amount of info I got, my only conclusion can be that it is a corrupted save in this case. I have played redux way beyond 100 turns myself and can’t remember anything like this at all" …hence we can almost certainly rule out the possibility that it has anything to do with redux.

"…it is a corrupted save you got and that has also nothing to do with redux. MTW V.1.1 simply is not as stable as the VI/2.01. And corrupted saves have their origins from flaws in the CA coding of the gameprogram running MTW, as sad and simple as that (thus I would advice you to do regular “Mastersaves”, at the very beginning of the turn, before you do anything). I have run redux on V.1.1 easily more than 1000 times, and believe me this is not related to redux in any way. Because if it was, I would have discovered it long time ago. Now, I can only offer my sympathies for you, but that’s how things have turned out for you, sorry.

Having repeated this I can only think of two possible answers for you. 1. you have tinkered with the “crusaders_unit_prod11.txt”-file and it has become corrupted (that happens). 2. A corrupt save as mentioned and discussed above. Sorry but there you have it.

Because if it was connected to redux I would have discovered it long time ago. As I said I have played way beyond 100 turns running redux on MTW V.1.1. However, in order to do that I did save a horde of games and a small legion of mastersaves. It’s the flaws in the gameprogram that forces you to do that if you don’t want do 10-20 turns all over again… My suggestion to you is to not trust those autosaves, they aren’t that trustworthy in my book, its way better to do mastersaves (however that do demand more work on your part). I’m afraid that your only option is to go back to another save and take it from there. For what’s its worth, you are not the only one who had this fate (not even in redux). It is a bitter lesson about these mastersaves and you just found out the hard way. For that I am sorry, but you can be sure of one this, it will happen again for you. Mastersaves is the only known way around it, sorry.



THE FOOLS INSTALL GUIDE!
----------------------------
From one thing to another, this is for all you guys who have (or will have) trouble installing redux I have done a little something to seriously combat those issues from now on, and hopefully this will be the end of it. I guess that only time will tell if that’s true, but that is what I am hoping for here. Now, here is my penance for not being clear enough regarding these things (hopefully I am now), so without further a due and fresh out from the redux lab, here is “the fools install guide”. Enjoy!




Is this clear enough for everyone?!?



- Cheers
