save game no worky

[desktorp]

For a minute, I had both the demo and release folders in a folder called Helena, but now it's just in:
/home/desktorp/Games/HelenaRelease/
When I save the game, it just saves it as Level0_1.txt and I'm back to the start. I can't remember if saves ever worked, so forgive me if I'm once again pointing out a known bug.

saveList.txt:gameData/Levels/Level0_1.txt 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 215.000000

edit: I now see that I still have hover - my coordinates are the only thing "back to the start" ..also, once you advance to the next world and get a better feel for the level/stage/world-based progression of the game, it makes enough sense. It's been a long time since I've played Blaster Master, so I totally forgot the fact that you couldn't fucking save at all!

Save game saves the current world your in and what equipment you have picked up, loading a save game will always start you at the beginning of the world.

Thanks Rusty. Yea this one is a little confusing, but that's how it's supposed to work. My rational is that with lives, and if saves took you to your last room, anyone would just load a save when they died, rather than keep on playing. So saves will start you at the beginning of the area you are in.

(saving will be more useful when there are more than 2 areas )
