Noob questions

#1 Post by corbenic80 »

Hi all,

first let me say that this game is great and I like it very much.

However, I am having a little bit of a hard time finding information on the wiki/in the game/in the forums about some aspects of game play and controls of the game. So, I hope I am in the right forum to ask these questions:

How does it come that from time to time, I can no longer type something in editable text fields? Restarting the game is the only way to get around this.

How can I produce multiple items with one production order? I have noticed the "1x Scout" and I am sure there is a way to turn this into "5x" or "10x" but by the gods I could not figure out how. (And I tried hard... :) )

Help is appreciated!

edit: I'm on version v0.4.1 (Windows installer from the wiki) on Vista

V0.4.1 doesn't have the repeat production feature.

Try the latest test build instead:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeori ... rion/Test/

It is much improved, you should notice a streamlined tech tree, and challenging AI .

Ok, thanks a lot!

Will I be able to use my old savegame with the latest build?

I'm pretty sure not. Even from one test build to the next, saved games are often incompatible, as there are too many changes to core constructs.
If I provided any code, scripts or other content here, it's released under GPL 2.0 and CC-BY-SA 3.0

Nothing else could be expected from a game still in this stadium of development, I guess. Thanks! :)
