The Election-save files

Author	Topic: The Election-save files
Sturg Master Member # 4614	written Saturday, August 28 2004 10:48 Profile Homepage #0 Okay, I decided, since you said it had no magic, that I was going to play The Election. So I downloaded it and got everything ready, but I ran into a problem. I copied the prefab party that comes with the scenario into the folder all my other save files were, but when I loaded it up in the game, I got an error message that said "This is not an Exile II save file". :confused: :confused: . How do I get this to work and/or what were the attributes of that party so I can play it right? -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00
Dragyn Bob Agent Member # 14	written Saturday, August 28 2004 12:27 Profile #1 Why would it tell you this is not an Exile II save file? You are trying to load it in BoE, aren't you? Make sure the file extension is .sav. -------------------- Dragyn Bob "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!"-The Divine Comedy Posts: 1481 | Registered: Thursday, September 27 2001 07:00
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, August 28 2004 12:34 Profile Homepage #2 DB, the "Exile II save file" message is a known bug in BoE. There are different versions of the save file for Mac and Windows. Do you have the right one for your computer? Stats aren't very important in this scenario anyway. Just use a normal low-to-medium-level PC and name him Vandell. By the way, if you don't want to use magic, you'll have to get by without using the healing sceptre, unless you can justify it in non-magical terms. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

You get a couple of healing potions, too. EDIT: Eh, Edged Weapons at 5. But all you get is a Bronze Knife.

Sturg Master Member # 4614	written Saturday, August 28 2004 14:55 Profile Homepage #4 Okay, I'll just try it with my own L1 party (it is non-magical). I wanted to make sure that it isn't critical you use the prefab party. BtW, does it have to be a singleton, though? -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, August 28 2004 15:06 Profile Homepage #5 Yes. The plot assumes that the party is a 1-PC named Vandell. He should also have the Chronic Disease ailment, but you can do without it if it annoys you (which it will). Apart from that, stats don't really matter. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
Sturg Master Member # 4614	written Saturday, August 28 2004 15:25 Profile Homepage #6 Thanks for all your help, everyone, though I still can't figure out why that save file won't work, but it shouldn't really matter that much now. I'll just create my party like this: 1. Vandell. 24 HP, 5 edged, and a Bronze Knife. I'll skip the Chronic Disease for now, as it seems to me that it's just an excuse for you having to carry around some healing and curing potions to cure the poison. Thanks again! -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00
The Creator BoE Posse Member # 112	written Saturday, August 28 2004 18:17 Profile #7 Actually, the fact that the character has an incurable disease is an integral part of the storyline. Also, it's important that you have no food. The stats aren't that unimportant. You can win that fight if you know what you're doing. But probably not without magic. -------------------- Rate my scenarios!
