Universe Save/Load issue

[malko]

I have installed the WHDLoad version of Universe (EU) with the 5 disks IPF version (game: Core Design, WHDInstall: Dark Angel & Psygore).
As stated in the doc, RawDIC was quitted (closed) when it asked for the 6th disk.

The game is working fine (as far as I have played it), unfortunately, I have faced an issue when attempting to save the game.
In fact, it seems not to be working.

The game asks for a save-disk.
- As it is HD based, if I only press "y" (without inserting a disk in DF0: ) the screen turns black and *nothing*. Needs to reset Amilator.
- When inserting a blank (empty) ADF in DF0: and pressing "y", nothing happens and if I click again on 'save', still get the message to insert a save-disk.

The readme file of the HDInstall states : "Saves to HD [registered users only]".
Is it still the case as WHDLoad, starting with WHDLoad release 18.2 the registration is neither required nor possible.

I have then tried to play the floppy version (direct boot on floppy) and tried the save option.
- Just to test, when leaving DISK2 and pressing "y" I get a message saying it is not possible to save on the game disk (good!).
- When inserting a blank (empty) disk, and pressing "y" nothing happens.... and if I click again on 'save', still get the message to insert a save-disk.

I even tried to insert the 6th Disk from another disk set (ADF) but still get the same result.

Q1 : - Did someone had had the same issue ?
Q2 : - I thought that IPF were 100% copy of original game. Is it possible that a copy protection prevent the save option ?

Thanks for feedback.

Saving takes some time due to the required OS swaps WHDLoad has to perform. Just be patient and don't reset when the black screen appears.

Thank you for your reply StingRay .
Unfortunately I waited 55 minutes (not in front of the computer ) and the screen did not changed at all. I can add that the music is turned off as well as soon as the screen goes black. F12 is still working to access the FS-UAE Menu.
This evening I will change a little bit my FS-UAE config to generate a log file. Maybe something will be visible there.

Ok. I have tested a bit more .
Changed my config to have only a no-HD A500 config. Added [log_autoscale], [log_bsdsocket], [log_flush], [log_input]. Turned on Amilator.
KS 1.3 image displayed. Inserted (ipf) Disk 1, after intro changed to (ipf) Disk 2, pressed "d" to access the Save/Load screen.
Changed to "empty.adf" and clicked on the "save" icon.
Message asking to format the disk. Pressed "y" -> the following FS-UAE message was displayed on screen : "NOTIFY_USR MSG #0".
Turned off the computer and had a look at the log.

On the log I can see the disk change, from "Disk 2" to "Blank", I see the "y" keypress and the message "NOTIFY_USER MSG #0" but for the rest...
The ADF "blank" disk was formatted under Workbench, what is this "weird sector" ?

Can someone with a better understanding of these values help ?

A quick feedback.
I gave a quick try with the slave available here.
Save & Load is ok .
Will also give a try to another ADF disk set I found. But later as I have no "infinite available day time" in real life

Edit: This slave does not ask for a save disk. Directly asks for a save-game name. When pressing "Enter" the screen turns black for about 7 seconds and returns to game.

[malko]

As I had only tested the Save/Load option under AOS1.3 + jst, I gave a try under AOS3.9 + whdload.
The result displayed on the screen is not good in fact. Indeed, when I click on "Save" the game quits (returns to WB) and the following message is displayed :

DOS-Error #205
(objet non trouvé)
on reading "SaveDisk".

I tried :
- with, in DF0:, an empty disk labelled SaveDisk
- with, in DF0:, an empty disk labelled Empty
- without disk in DF0:
but the result is the same whatever is tried.

I then gave a try with the 6 disks ADF version of Universe I found (direct boot, disk in DF0: ). The Save/Load is working fine (on a formatted disk). Unfortunately, the save disk generated with this version cannot be used :
- to load the saved game (with the WHDLoad version)
- when using as the 6th disk with the WHDLoad installer (RawDIC freezes with an error).

As it is hard to point if this is an issue of the WHDLoad Installer, the 5 IPF disks set or Amilator, did someone had the same Save/Load issue ?
Is the Save/Load working on a real Amiga ? I mean with the latest WHDLoad and no registration key ?

Thanks for any feedback.

Hello Retro1234. Yes, I did (see post #6) and I am using it actually to play Universe .

Still, I don't understand why there is a problem with the Save/Load feature when I create the HD install myself, and thus find interesting to know if it is the <snipped by DamienD> or the Universe WHDLoad game installer that is causing this specific issue.

Maybe if Dark Angel or Psygore are reading this thread, they can confirm/infirm the following point : is the "Saves to HD [registered users only]" compatible with the latest WHDLoad policy (as starting with WHDLoad release 18.2 the registration is neither required nor possible) ?

*** please don't link to .IPF files as per rules ***


Edit: I didn't thought that linking to a search engine result was infringing a rule. I am really sorry and apologize.

[StingRay]

I have now tried this and load/save works fine for me! I had to create an empty file called SaveDisk as otherwise the slave would quit with an error as no save disk could be found. Once I created the empty file the game asks if I want to format the disk and saving works without any problem.

Thank you for the feedback StingRay . Excuse-me if it is a dumb question but what do you mean by "create an empty file" ? Is it a formatted ADF labelled 'SaveDisk' or a small formatted HDF labelled 'SaveDisk' or something else ?

[StingRay]

No, it's neither an ADF nor a HDF file. I just created a small file (6000 bytes) which contained nothing but zeroes (i.e. it has no content -> empty) and used that.

I have tried on real machine.
Just create an empty file called "SaveDisk" with any text editor and copy to "UniverseData" folder!
...or just download "Retroplay" his preinstalled game from EAB Server!

[malko]

Well ... , if nobody is facing a black screen when pressing "y" to format the disk, it means that my initial install is the source of the issue. This was confirmed by the fact that even with the creation of a "SaveDisk" file, I was still facing a black screen when trying to save .

So, I have re-downloaded the disks set and re-done the WHDLoad install.
Then, based on the advice of StingRay I have created a small file named "SaveDisk" (containing 10 carriage return (size: 11)) and launched the game.
This time the Save/Load option worked like a charm !
"SaveDisk" file size grew to 6'156.

I do believe that the readme file of the WHDLoad installer should include an information about the creation of this "SaveDisk" file.

Anyway, thank you StingRay for the tip & mai for the test on a real Amiga !

In my opinion the slave should create a default save game file if none is found. This would avoid problems like you had. You may report this on the Mantis tracker, I'm sure Psygore will update the patch then.

You're welcome.

Quick info 1 :
Playing the IPF disk based version of Universe, I managed to save the game on an empty disk (didn't succeed before, see first post).
In order to succeed the save, I had to use an IPF blank formatted disk !
I don't know if this issue is related with the game or with Amilator/FS-UAE but it is not working with an ADF blank formatted disk.

Quick info 2 :
It is strange but this working IPF save disk cannot be used with the WHDLoad Installer of Universe (as 6th disk). The installer returns an error when reading it...

[DamienD]

Eh? How do you create a blank formatted IPF disk in an emulator?

[Retro-Nerd]

I assume the game needs a custom save disk = extended ADF (WinUAE). Probably works with a blank IPF too. An IPF with Amiga DOS format content deleted.

[malko]

I didn't create it under the emulator.
I did it the "godzilla" way :
1. under windows/linux, make a copy of an IPF disk game you have,
2. in Workbench format this IPF disk.
3. tada ! you have an empty IPF blank formatted disk...

[StingRay]

You don't have to do it in such a complicated way. Just create a custom disk using UAE and use that.
