I think I just lost my scores?

Post by chalks » Wed Jan 16, 2008 11:57 pm

Overflow error? It changes every time I open the game back up. Here are two examples of what happens:

This happened after I downloaded the campaign stickied at the top of this forum, and put it in its own folder in my lugaru directory. Lugaru is _not_ on my c:\ drive, instead it is on my x:\ drive. Also, I've already reinstalled the game 3 times*, I'd rather not have to do it again to fix this. :( Any way to get my scores back for 8-13? I still haven't beaten 14.

*because I tried to go into debug mode, and somehow that made things all explody (yes, I used wordpad to open config, just like the readme says)






Edit: I just remembered, this happened after I put something else in the lugaru directory, but something else weird happened first too... I was trying to optimize level 8, and I had only two rabbits left to kill. I hit one rabbit into a wall so hard, that I think he fused with the building. This killed the bunny that was on the other side of the map. I tried to divide a rabbit by zero, apparently. Anyways, that would explain why things got screwy from level 8 on.

Edit 2: Yep, that's definitely the problem. Whenever I try to play challenge 8, it loads about halfway, then there's a sound of a bunny being squashed to death. Then the game crashes. I can play level 9 on, but it doesn't record a time (it does record a score, though). Please tell me I can fix it without losing my 9 second time on level 1. :)

Edit 3: I'm _really_ enjoying this game. <3

Edit 4: <--- I hate it when people edit stuff to death.

Eesh, what a mess. I had a problem where the game just wouldn't record some of my scores or let me play some of the levels. That's not really been my concern since my profiles all got erased :?

Whenever something is wrong, it can usually be fixed by deleting the config.txt file and letting Lugaru make a new one.

If that doesn't work, you could try moving the 'Users' file from the data folder to somewhere else temporarily, and then open the game and get to level 8 and see if it works; that should at least let you know if the problem is in your user scores somehow.

If it still doesn't work, then something has probably happened to the map files, maybe when copying the new campaign.

Thanks, I'll try that when I get home.

Also, I'm quite impressed with this game. I'm currently a computer science major at Purdue... I doubt I could make anything like this (maybe someday).

Hahaha check out the "Best Time" for Level 9.
Chalks, I don't think you should play that level again. Ever.
