Questron 2 Save state and custon tool types
Hi everyone, i have two questions. I am currently playing Questron 2. When i save via the menu, it says that the operation isn't fully compatible with my current configuration, if i save will it corupt my game?
My second question: it says in the 'readme' that the game supports custom tool types commands with a registered copy of Whdload. I have a registered version of Whdload but i don't know how to enter these codes or access these commands. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
Save states with games played from HD aren't guaranteed to work. It might work, but you can't rely on it.
To change the tooltypes select the icon of the game, hold down the right mouse button and select Icons -> Information... from the menu at the top. |
Thanks for the speedy reply, but i am still a bit confused. I followed your instructions, but when i try to edit the custom line nothing happens.

You click on 'New' (if the Custom1 tooltype isn't there already) and after you edited the line you click on 'Save'. Maybe you can make a screenshot where you think the problem is? :)

Tried new, but no matter what i type it will not save, Text editing isn't rocket science. This emulator makes me feel like a dumb-bunny. This is very easy in windows. Also, i have absolutely no idea how to create a screenshot on ClassicWB. Oh, my first attempt to edit the text i got a 'guru meditation' error, Madness. :laughing |
Press 'End + Print' to take a screenshot. Will be saved to your WinUAE folder (if not configured otherwise).

SLAVE=Questron2.slave PRELOAD (CUSTOM1=X) ; (1-7) Activate trainer options, see readme for info When i try to edit line 3, it never seems to save the edited text :bash Thanks again for the assistance. Attachment 26517 |
So if you edit the third line to 'CUSTOM1=4' (remove the quotes and change X to 4) and click on save, the next time you open the tool types tab it's back to '(Custom1=X)'?

Edit: I give that one more shot, also the delete function works as intended...hehe Edit 2: Nope, tried three times, i even rebooted (virtual) machine, no change. |
I will try with ClassicWB later (only have a plain WB 3.1 install here right now). Normally it should work that way.
|
I agree, it might just be a Vista 64 thing, Winuae gets thrown in my Public folder. Thanks for the help, i think i need to pound my head harder on my desk a little harder. :laughing
|
If your running the game from the Windows filesystem rather than a HDF it could be a weird UAC issue. Have you tried starting Winuae as Administrator and then making the change to the tooltype.?

Filesystem is "supported" (works, usually), that message appears if completely unsupported feature is enabled like uaescsi or bsdsocket.
Do not put configuration files, adfs, hdfs etc.. in Program Files. |
Just tried it with ClassicWB (thanks for the bump Locash ;)) and after you edited the CUSTOM entry, press return and then save. That should 'fix' it :)

Unless I'm completely wrong, this is actually an OS weirdness... |
Actually it's ClassicWB (or rather Scalos?) specific. Works fine without the enter key with a plain WB information dialog. Sometimes reading the whole thread is not a bad idea before jumping to conclusions.
|
HDtoolbox is another common program that requires enter or tab (2.0+) in string gadgets. AFAIK it happens because programs wait for GADGETUP intuition message and only then copies the entered string to internal buffer.
I checked RKRM Libraries gadgets chapter and Interface Style Guide books but unfortunately neither said anything about "official" string gadget behavior. |
*BUMP*
The readme file in Zeewolf WHDLOAD says: "CUSTOM1 values may be added together to activate multiple features" Does this mean multiple entries of CUSTOM1 values i.e. CUSTOM1=2 CUSTOM1=4 etc. or do I add them on the same entry eg CUSTOM1=2, 4 What is the correct syntax? |
