Rogue Save Files + Debugger

Rednoc Nivert · 22 July 2015, 00:58

I got the Rogue & Temple of Apshai Trilogy download a couple days ago, and saw someplace that it has a debugger mode to tinker around and spawn enemies and items and such, and also that it (should) be able to save and load games. I saved a game, and now I can't load it. The thing says 'type in 'Rogue savefile' where savefile is the name of the saved game, but it's not working. Anyone have any input on either of these things? Loading a save game, or the debugger menu?

I saved the game from the drop down menu by pressing return, It saved as bob.save (which was my default as the username was bob)

I started a new game as bob and from the drop down menu restored the save by pressing return (default bob.save)

Now you can log in as anyone and use bob.save but you must save the game before quitting or you will lose the save, and you can only have one save file. Saving the game as say, dan.save, overwrites bob.save, so remember what you saved as.

The Amiga Forever doesn't seem to like that. It also isn't doing a High Score list. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just that it doesn't work on the emulator?

Here's a working RP9, have a play with it. There's a copy of the disk in the RP9 in case you mess up.

Rename the Rogue (Epyx, 1986, Amiga).zip to Rogue (Epyx, 1986, Amiga).rp9

I've had a thought about this. If you are using an IPF file in the RP9 then It wont save. All IPF's I have used in RP9's always report that they are write enabled so you can't save to them.
