Don't Feel Sorry For The AI

So, the AI picked 60 guns. Is there a save game ?? We always ask so is there one ? Without a save game so we can see what the AI picked and where on the pick list it was chosen we couldn't possibly guess what may or may not have gone on or if perhaps there is a problem with the way the pick is coded. The picklist for the AI is set up so there are always random variables otherwise it would be the same thing over and over and over and over and sometimes, as "luck" would have it, there may be the computer equivalent of rolling snake-eyes three or four times in a row and the little bits of code in the picklist that says...... "Buy this or that or in 10 chances out of 99 buy this AND that just to keep people on their toes" kicks in and then seemingly odd things happen


A save game of that 60 gun game would be nice to see

Despite what it may had sounded like, as I suppose I didn't express myself as clearly as I ought to had done, I wasn't saying the game was defective, so why would I save the game and post it? It was more an observation than anything and an attempt to convince people that the AI can indeed seemingly rip you off. IOW, don't have mercy on it, because it 'can' rip you off, even if it's just a matter of getting boatloads of random odds against you; which is perhaps unlike most battles.

Despite how much time has passed since when I posted the thread, well yes, I do still have a save towards the end of the game. Only problem is I can't find it on my computer (but can in the game). If you really want to see it, telling me how to translate what I see on the 'load game list' screen would be helpful so I can find the file on the computer. I have looked for every single bit of data on my entire computer that shows on that screen, and nothing comes of these searches.

OK, Let's assume it shows you have this save game in save slot 11

Go to the

WinsSPWW2\Saved Games

folder and look for ..........

SpSv011.cmt
SpSv011.dat

Zip them up and post them

Still not there. For some reason I cannot manage a screenshot either. I thought it was alt-Pr Sc (Vista) but I have nothing to paste into anything should it had gone to the clipboard. I can, however, tell you the path the saved games folder took and what is in it:

OS (C: )/program files/shrapnel games/the camo workshop/winsppw2/saved games

It has only two files, one called 1-info and another called spsv000.cmt. I did a search on spsv* from the shrapnel folder after I found that out and the one I just listed is the only one, yet all the saves are still in the game and work.

Try looking for them in the following directory (it may not be exactly accurate as I do not know how your computer is set up):

C:\Users\yourcomputername\AppData\Local\VirtualSto re\program files\shrapnel games\the camo workshop\winsppw2\saved games

You may have to search the VirtualStore Folder and then drill down in there.

Phew. Thanks, that did it.
