The bug that make some scenes not showing
Added 2024-03-02 09:35:54 +0000 UTCI read a few report of scenes not showing correctly. There was a "new" showing nothing and a scene where the map doesn't disappear when you launch the event.
I was not having these bugs, so it was complicated. I read these kind of bugs for a long time already, even in CwG but I never understood how people had these.
I found the solution: One of the report has a screen that wasn't supposed to exist in the code anymore, it was from a previous version.
=> People that have these bug have copy/pasted/replaced the new version over the old version, you should not do that.
When you play the new version, don't merge them. delete the old folder or play the new version in a different folder.
__The reason
It happens that I rename some files in a new version, so when you copy/paste over the old folder, the new files doesn't get rid of the old files because it has a different name, so the old code still exists and then it's conflicting with the rest of the game.
I don't know if it will fix 100% of the issues but it should for most of people.
Comments
Hey dude, do you have any suggestions for coding boot camps or languages catered toward making games?

In reality, the game create copies of the save files in a second location, and is able to use them when you install a new version. See? The problem was already solved for you. No need to do anything.

The saves are stored somewhere else entirely on Windows at least, so you can delete the game folder without deleting your saves

2024-03-02 13:21:47 +0000 UTCI have two ideas: 1. You could leave an empty file where the old file was. 2. You could create a "canary" file with a name specific for each release. At startup, if you find two canary files, you know that the install is bad. 3. Let Darwin have its way with people who can't follow instructions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
