Game type parameter for TOT

Closed this issue · 0 comments

TOT has an additional GameType parameter in sav file, which can either be:

  • original game,
  • sci-fi game,
  • fantasy game

From what I've tested sofar - if you load e.g. midgard scenario, which is a fantasy game, it first starts looking for assets in local midgard folder. Missing assets are then searched in "Fantasy" folder. If those assets are also missing in Fantasy folder or if that folder is for whatever reason missing, it then additionally searches for assets in "Original" folder.

Stuff like this needs to be added when defining search paths in LoadFile/Scenario dialogs and also when starting a new TOT game.

I'll try to deal with this, just putting issue here is any discussion is needed.
