1.5.21 Bug Report: Load of save game

Richard,

I am sorry to tell you this, but loading a save game after the game has ended (when music was turned off) produces music. Yes, flags/logicals/booleans are b*tch to get all the conditions right! :)

Curses, foiled again.

What exactly do you mean by "loading a save game after the game has ended"?

I have a save of every turn when I play in case I want to do up an AAR later, I use the saves.

So, I loaded turn #23 to show you in another thread. By then, I had already seen the Campaign 8/8 screen from the game. As soon as it loaded, music started playing.

Clear?

Yes. Do you have the saves? The forum won't let you attach .LSF files but it will allow .zip archives to be attached.

Richard,

Before zipping and sending, I did some testing.

Launch program.
Reload Turn #23.
(no music)

Launch program.
Reload 8/8 Campaign Screen.
Reload Turn #23.
(no music)

What this means is that the problem is not really in the save game, but in some runtime variable which is being kept by the program. Good hunting!
