I realized last evening to my horror that
1) I needed to update my setup file for the campaign scenario for AH's
The Longest Day (2000+ tokens spread across the map and various displays!),
and
2) The saved game updater wasn't doing the job.
The saved game updater appears to be matching tokens by name, and
unfortunately that's precisely the thing which changed for EVERY token
in my setup, so I get zero matches from the updater.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can avoid starting over on my setup?
It might be possible for me to hack the updater to match tokens by something
other than their names; that's not a good general solution, though.
It seems to me that we could have a fool-proof saved game updater if we
gave every piece type a unique id, and every token of a type a reference
to that id. Then all we'd have to do is match on ids, which, unlike names,
would never change.
