    • PoG wont save my game!


      Well, I managed to get my code for PoG again (change of email address - dont ask 😛 ), installed it, and fired her up to start a new game. So, there I was playing away happily, earning experience, killing things and decide that its going to be a bugger if I die, so I hit save then... nothing... It wont save!! Opens up the save dialogue nicely enough, lets me enter the name, and then press save, but no file is actually created!

      Im running PoG 1.0.2, on an eMac with 640Mb RAM and OS X 10.2.8 if that helps any.

      Please help!!!

      **Unfortunately a bug was introduced when OS X.2 was released - PoG can write over old saved game files, but it can't create new ones.

      The developer is aware of the problem, and is working on a solution.

      In the meantime, there are workarounds available-

      PoG can write over old files, it just can't create new ones.

      So if you have an old saved game file, use that name when you save, and PoG will ask if you want to replace it. Say yes, and you should be all set.

      If you don't have any old files, use TextEdit to create a blank text document. Then go to the Format menu and select the "Make Plaintext" option. Save it and name it something like "Saved Game.pog", with the .pog being the crucial part. You'll get a message saying,

      "Document name Saved Game.pog already seems to have an extension. Append '.txt' anyway?"

      Click on Don't append. Then move this file into the PoG folder.

      Then open PoG, and start a new game. Save it to the PoG folder and use the name above. PoG will ask if you want to replace it. Say Yes.

      Then when you want to open that game, you will have to drag that file onto the PoG app, and it will open. You won't be able to Load that game, it will be greyed out. Just double click on the saved game file, or drag and drop it onto the App itself.

      If you have any questions at all, please contact tech support at help@AmbrosiaSW.com.**

      I hope that gets you on the road again. 🙂 ~RD

    • Why did they call it OS X.2?

      Motion is impossible:
      If an archer fired an arrow at a target, it would have to travel halfway before reaching the target. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway...

      Roman numeral X = 10. Operating System 10 is sometimes written as OS X. To write OS X 10.2 is redundant. None of that answers your question. I don't know why they wrote it that way. 🙂 ~RD
