Major and minor save bump?

Post by impaktor »

A though I had, to make life easier for players.

Major Save bump: (e.g. 84->85) Works as now. Player is locked out from older saves.

Minor Save bump: (e.g. 84.1 ->84.2) Player is warned about saves might be broken. Perhaps like so:

Warning

There has been a change in this version of Pioneer that is partially incompatible with this save.

Part of the price of development progress, is that sometimes changes are made that changes the universe: stars, planets, mission ships and characters might move location, change name, or cease to exist.

If you choose to continue using this save, be warned there might be strangeness. These can be minimized by finishing all missions and saving while in deep space of Sol, from your previous pioneer version. Old versions of pioneer are available through sourceforge (see FAQ)


Granted, it can be better worded, and shorter, but say somthing lke the above.
