Evening jim,

Just regarding the 'x' (sorry I dont have time to check the documentation JUST yet,I want to get straight on my patrol,almost back home) ,I tried removing the 'x' but then the save would disappear again.Does the game allow the removal of the added character before next patrol,as with mods? And finally,does the game even allow underscores ( _ ) at the end,instead of an 'x'?,or even a full stop?.

Really is the strangest thing I have experienced in a game,you know?.

Sorry if this has been discussed before,I wont have any reason to bring this up again :oops:

Thanks for the help.

It can be challenging, posting here at SUBSIM, but realizing this is half the battle. Also, being clear in your posts and perhaps doing a bit of research before posting something new can help as well. Sometimes answers to members questions here can be found in older threads here.

Bottom line, don't lose any sleep over it this, it's an online forum and as I have said before you live and learn, with the learning part being key.

I had the manual printed and put in a 3 ring binder dirt cheap at Kinko's.

I added colored tabs to separate sections for ease of finding things.

If all else fails I pm Jimbuna and be a pain in the arse to him. :har:

Good to know RDP,thanks.

So long as people dont get p###ed and angry,I mean,there is mountains of info and advice in here,and its so easy to miss exactly what it is you are after.Just as in the real world,you can actually miss things by looking TOO hard.

I'm just glad I got my game save back :woot:

That is a great idea FW,problem is I ran out of printer ink :nope:
Must have took hours to print mind you,wow.
I did the same with Wazoo's plotting guide ages ago,and still have it in a ring binder.

People do get pissed off and angry here, but don't let it bother you. If you are being fair and following the rules than that is all you can do in the end.

Also the folks who do get pissed off and upset here, and don't get their act together so to speak ( as per forum rules ), usually end up here:

Don't use your own printer Paul. :nope: Call around to Print shops.

It's alot cheaper. :yep:

At Kinko's here in USA it was 2 cents a page both sides.

Normally I would play the patrol acessed via the 'x factor', complete the patrol then dock and save.

Come out of game and access the save title in C\MyDocs.

Delete the 'x' and load the save (now without the x).

You can always add it again if you experience a recurrence of the situation.

I have only used letters and numbers in my tests.

NEVER DELETE THE 'PLAYER' DEFAULT NAME

LMAO :DL

Thanks for the advice jim,thats all I wanted to know :yep:

Your welcome matey...any time http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

This explains why I feel my posts are being vigilancly watched :haha:

FW,

I have always been curious,how much is a cent compared with British money?.Is it closer to our penny?,with 100 pennies to a pound?,so,so many cents to a dollar?.I understand 1 dollar is about half of our pound,meaning you can get roughly 2 for the price of 1 over in the US.

Ripoff Britain! (shame,but wouldnt want to lose our pound either)

A cent is 1/100th of a dollar, so about half a UK penny. (We sometimes call them pennies too.) Back when you had 240 pence to the pound, and the pound was worth about $2.40, a cent was worth about a penny. New pence are worth 2.4 old pence, but the relative value of the pound to the dollar has declined.

RL,

Thanks for the info.I will just relate to them as being pennies,albeit much more value than our pennies,as you can still get almost 2 for our 1 over there.
On the downside,it would mean losing our £ if we adopted any other currency.The price you pay,literally.

I sometimes hear 'dimes' on films too,what are they?,slang for dollar?

@ PR " The guy got a dime dropped on him."

He got sentenced to 10 yrs.

10 cents? ;)

He ought to be lucky it wasnt that t##t 50 cent! :rotfl:

Or there's " Someone dropped the dime on him" meaning the called they police on him. From back when a pay-phone call cost a dime.

"Oh you dirty rat":down:

Ahh...in other words,a grass? :know:

apologies for necroing this thread but it caught my eye while searching for somethng else...

so anyhow about the topic question, i had the same thing happen to me. i run gwx 3 only and on vista. when i saw that none of my saves where there anymore, i looked in 'my docs' directory and noticed my saves where in fact there.

so i restarted the game, this time w/o 'run as admin' and my saves where back. hope this helps whoever runs across this problem
