Ok Here i am enjoying the game going round the area of third base looking for last 2 weapons then i save the game after finding the third weapon...

And then minutes later i want to play again the the horrible words appear the save file has been modified!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok this is impossible because i never cheated!

You need to fix this bug because now i got to start all over again from beginning.

Why i was about 3 hours from finishing the game after playing for about 16 hours!!!

Anyway why did this happen it needs to be fixed and i don't think i will play again unless its fixed or there is a new mlu 2 or 3 with more features!!!

                 
Please Reply to this!

I apologize for that. Must be something I overlooked or could be java error.
In the next version of the game i'll just terminate the application without erasing the file. I'll personally check the save-file to see what the problem is.
In all the times I and everybody else played it never happened before.
Again sorry. I know how it feels.  

Thanks for fast reply

But i don't know what checking the save file will do since it was erased. I just checked it just then by converting to a txt file and there is just a on it.

So its not something you can check.

Btw it may have been caused by getting lots of money or something maybe the game though i cheated because of getting 2 million Clementia dollars from one of my earlier loads.

Anyway this does need to be fixed mabey make it delete the save file since last time you saved before you "cheated"

Alough i did not cheat so yea something is wrong and chances are it may be because of some buggy code.

Also i don't know if this is related to it but between all the volcanos there was magma stuff but above the surface level with the volcanos. So you would have to fly above it to get past the volcanos. This weird stuff appeared the second last time i saved so the might have something to do with it.

There are so many other factors like having only one save left but whatever it was needs to be fixed

Thanks for listening

Could be some variable overflowing.
As a precaution, you could make a copy of the savefile before loading.

Probably the surface melted. Was it very hot, like 900F+ ?

Thanks for sending me the file but i will just start again as i feel like i want the whole experience. Its ok to start again as long as about a week has passed.
I will back up saves everyday now.

Any way it was cold not hot at all minus 300 so it should not be melted.

Mabey that was what cause the error...

Anyway thanks for replying because i sorta felt like mlu was dead about 2 months  ago.

Anyway thanks and bye

You might wanna wait until the new version comes out. Its not gonna be compatible with the last version (unless you really ask me to convert your file).
I could be done anytime now. Debugging sounds right now.

When will that new version come out? details about it?

Im having trouble playing a MIDI inside the game. As soon as it gets resolved I'll probably release a new version.
You can read the guide to MLU2 on htp://mlu.site50.net.
And do not hesitate to donate anything you can. ;-)

What is the heater thing, I can't find it anywhere in the game.

Also, what is this thing?

Quote :

T: Transmit up to 500 lbs of minerals from your cargo bay to the base.

Where are these things?

Quote :

-BlackDragon Heating Unit Melts the ice from your ship’s hull and keeps the cabin warm. -Matter Transmitter Transmits up to 500 lbs of the minerals in your cargo bay to the base for instant cash. The cheapest minerals are transmitted first. -Lightning Charger Charges the battery with 150MW when struck by lightning. Only work when flying above the surface. Does not work when gliding.

the mlu 2 guide link you sent does not work.

Is the new version just a bug fix or does it add more features because i just wanted to see the save file you sent i tried it out (did not send my high score) and i noticed that the game was a lot smaller then i expected i thought i was gonna have to try fly of the planet or something. Maybe you should add a few more things in the game like more variety to keep people interested.

I found the beginning of the game started good but after 2 hours got boring...

Then once i got to the mountain i got excited but then it got boring being stuck under.

Then after that when you find the second base it gets really exciting but then you see a mountain you get put down a little.

The super boring ship parts are fun to look for at first but are boring once you spend more then 1 hour searching for them.

The weapons were a great addition though and were fun to look for as i liked traveling thrgouh magma with the sheild

Anyway try a more stuff and the length of the game itself is ok... But i felt it end a bit quick.

Did you actually finish that session I send you? Did you get to the last base? Even I struggled somewhat, so im not sure that you did.
The new version will have 3 more gadgets: Matter Transmitter, Heater and Lightning Charger (the ones mentioned in the guide). Plus its gonna have earthquakes, sounds, resizable game window, ash streams, and dozens of bug-fixes, like fully working mouse-controlled shop and non-erazable save-files.

Well, if it ends too quick, it means it wasnt very boring.

How about the diamond deposits. Did you actually find them (1600-2000) and was it (as you call it) exciting?

By the way, if you wanna help me with the game, download this
http://alexxz4.net84.net/data/midiplayer.jar
and launch it. Tell me if you hear a melody.

I hear it and the box saids looping.

...


For the music and sounds, is it going to be the same as mlu 1 sounds and music or will it be different? Will there be new sound and/or music?

It's gonna be mostly the same sounds, with a couple new ones.

Ok

Yes the save session or whatever thing you gave me i tried it and found it super easy to finish. I did it on my first go.

All i did was stay up high in the mountain and move accoss using things such as icebombs.

Problem was that you gave me one big hint.. The fourth base is at 5000 which means i just had to go to around 4500 and use a teleporter and get strait there.

Thats the method i have been using the whole time.

Once i know where mountains are i know i can not teleport there i just have to find the openings in the surface and teleport 500 feet away from wherever i want to go.

Also i never found the diamond deposit because i went strait to second base after mining around 350. which is why i got stuck there and could not go back and is why i got rich super fast but collecting other stuff near second base.

Oh and yes the file does work the music plays.

Hmmm... I thought I disabled teleport 1 from below the surface, that was the original intent... Bummer...
Need to disable teleporting from magma also cause it could also be above the surface.
Probably I should put some obsidian walls or magma stream lakes or something to make it harder.

How much will the Matter Transmitter, Heater and Lightning Charger cost?

Is the matter transitter permanent or single use?

If you have 0 heaters, and the tempreature is -150 F, how long can you survive without going to base?

In the guild, it saids the heaters will turn on at -10 F, if I have 5 and the temprature is -30 F, will all of them turn on or just 1?

Also, I really like the fact that you changed the stock radiator to 100 F instead leaving it 50 F, it makes it more realistic, considering that room tempreture is around 75 F. But, why would the radiator be on at 0 F?


Oh, make sure that you change the checksum variable to a 'long long int' instead of just 'int' to avoid a overflow problem.
int range: ± 2,147,483,647
long long int range: ± 9,223,372,036,854,775,807

They all will turn on (intergalactic technology is not as advanced as you thought).

Well, 0 is a nice round number. You'll see round stuff a lot in the game, it makes me remember stuff more. I'll change it to 50F.

Well, the highest score you could possible get before saving is about 100,000,000; checksum would be like 20%-30% more. So it is not really close to overflowing. Unless you hack the game, but that's really not my problem.

Oh crap, it's going to be harder. And to think that in the CGPR I wanted to do it on Hard for dedication... Will the mineral I proposed in the Suggestion for Future Updates form, named after the person I will be performing the game on Hard for, be in the game? It's sorta important to me...

huh? what mineral is that?
