Working on an old game does have its caveats, including an unexplained map corruption that set progress back somewhat.

Posted by on

Progress is slow but promising - up until yesterday, that is. For some reason, mission 4 unexpectedly became corrupt, and I have no backups I could use to restore it. Well, I did have a backup, but that was also corrupt and unusable.

Talk about a huge oof.

Ultimately, I had to rebuild the entire map and its trigger contents from scratch. The plus side is that I knew what triggers I wanted in place, and I did have some useful feedback from my beta testers, which I could use to make the new map better.

The map layout is also more or less the same as the previous one, so it wasn't a complete loss, I suppose. I have a niggling feeling the previous map got corrupted due to the sound file, but I really have no means to verify that.

In any case, more updates are to come, along with an FAQ spelling out the important deets about the custom campaign.
