KBscanner on darkside and question on unreturnable maps

[wailoktam]

Hi, I have just started playing Darkside and I have 2 questions.

How to use KBscanner on save games in DarkSide?

I cannot find loc_ses.kfs and so I put loc_data_eng.kfs in the search path.

I save the file named data to a zip file and rename it to data.sav

But the scanner cannot find anything.

Another question is:

Are there any map in this gamme like Arania in WOTN which:
1. you cannot return later (and kill the enemies you left there)
2. would be cleared off all left over enemies and than regenerate some other enemies like Arania in WOTN after a certain event.

A third question is:

Do leadership flag has fixed value of leadership no matter you pop it at any stage of the game?

Thanks for any help.

1. I only recently started using the scanner myself, and this thread taught me how to get it to work:

2. There aren't any areas you can't return to as far as I can remember, other than small areas like the Shelter Basement early in the game.

3. Leadership flags are fixed, I believe.

Leadership flags were always stage-based, ever since KBAP. The higher the level of the area, the more leadership you get from a flag. If I dig into my old russian KBAP manuals I will probably find the formula, but I think it was something like stage 1-6 (based on the level of the enemies), leadership - a random number between 4 and 16, so a stage 1 flag would give something between 4 and 16, and a stage 6 flag would give up to 96 leadership. Colors matter too. I also think it gives only even leadership bonuses (like 4,6,8,16, etc.)

That's if I recall correctly
