Saving in the editor sometimes have no effect

[gimpz]

I made several changes in the editor to a mod I'm playing with. I saved in every possible way I could find...save session and save, but I don't know the difference between them. No matter how many times I did it, I couldn't get the changes I made to the troop count in Bolo to have any effect. What's the correct way to save your changes and why doesn't it work sometimes?

This is weird. Could you try save your progress by right mouse click on your island's name below the main menu and then choose save. Hope this will help

No that doesn't help. For some reason I can't edit Bolo and Debir.

I found the problem. I used a mod that had a different location for it's files and for some reason it only saved some of the islands in the right folder. I had to move the other files manually for the changes to have any effect.

Yes, all islands have to be put in the right folder. Can you tell me which mod you are using and what aspect of the game you are planning to edit (new island, new unit, new skill/talent etc)

I'm glad that there are some people still working with those text file or even the editor. I'm now creating a big mod that has many new things (new islands, caves, dungeons; new monsters, quest etc) I want to share it with the public but the number of people still playing this game is become lesser and lesser

I know and it's really sad because it's a great game. It looks like it's days of glory are over.

I'm playing "adventure mod" that can be found here on the forum but I didn't do any big changes. Just a few adjustments to what units you can by in some places. It's nice that you are making a mod like that. Will be interested to see how it turns out.
