That ol' Mac Save/Quit=Crash bug

[frunobulax]

I'm just tidying up a whole bunch of scenarios converted to Mac format (for the upcoming Mac downloads section on here) and i thought I'd go and fix that bug in the Game.txt file that causes crashes when you try to Save/Quit etc. (you know what I mean I hope - when the scenario has a cutomised Save/Quit dialogue etc.)

I used to know how to do this, but I just tried it this evening and though it worked I'd lost all the city report dialogues

Can someone remind me how to do this properly

(Henrik, you out there ?)

thanks

It's in the game.txt file, the PC version doesn't use buttons, the mac version do (the mac version also has a "save" button in this dialogue which the PC version doesn't) this is how it looks in the PC version:

@REALLYQUIT
@width=320
@title=Confirmation
Do you really want to quit?

No
Yes

And this is how it should look in our version:

@REALLYQUIT
@width=280
@title=Confirmation
@button=Quit
@button=Cancel
@button=Save Game
Do you really want to quit?


If there is any special text on the PC options instead of just yes and no, it's quite possible to insert that text on the buttons (it wont allways look good though, it depends on the length).

This is an issue with all PC game.txt files

The only other difference you might want to check for, is that the PC version uses _ in between the dots in the diplomacy menu, the mac version doesn't

This is how it would look on a pc:
._._.
And on a mac:

Hope that helps
