Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / Re: [Beta 13.240412a] scorehistory.txt being overwritten when using -customFilePath
« on: July 22, 2024, 09:00:23 AM »Confirmed and confirmed fixed for the next release! Let me know if you notice any other files out of the ordinary when using that option, though I imagine it was probably just those two.
Thank you! I really like having the option to relocate my user folder and appreciate the support.

Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / [Beta 13.240412a] scorehistory.txt being overwritten when using -customFilePath
« on: July 19, 2024, 09:19:38 AM »
Circumstances under which the bug occurs: I am running the game with the -customFilePath option to put saves, screenshots, and user files outside the install directory.
What happened: I noticed that my user/scorehistory.txt file only had one run listed in it, the most recent one. In my scores/ directory I can still see the individual scoresheets from many previous runs. When I completed another run, I checked again, and instead of appending to the scorehistory.txt file, it had overwritten again only showing one line with the last run.
I noticed also that user/notes.txt was being overwritten to the default version with each run of the game, preventing storing user-created notes there.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an empty folder, and use the command line option -customFilePath:<path> to point Cogmind to it.
2. Run the game and create a score entry by dying (or winning).
3. In the newly created folder, check the user/scorehistory.txt, and either write down the seed of this run or copy the file somewhere to compare later.
3a. (Optional) put some text into user/notes.txt, and save it.
4. Run the game again, and create another score entry by dying (or winning).
5. Check user/scorehistory.txt, and only the second run is listed. If changes were made to user/notes.txt, they are overwritten as well. Confirm in scores/ that two scoresheets are indeed made by the game.
I am not sure if other files are affected, like buffer.txt or config files. My tutor.bin and progress.bin files seem to be keeping my cumulative progress as normal (gallery, achievements, & lore).

Competitions / Re: Weekly Seed #113 [Beta 5] [Seed: AlienHammerFactory]
« on: February 21, 2018, 09:47:40 AM »
Score: 11441, died in -4/Factory.
I've been trying to do combat builds, and I've never made it past sublevel -4. I seem to do fine, until the alert gets too high and I get a constant stream of enemies sent after me keeping me in the same spot until I lose all my parts. Do I need to be switching away from treads to a faster propulsion so I can run away or at least keep moving while fighting?
This run I went to
Looking at my scoresheet it seems I was fighting too close to a garrison, so next time I'll definitely avoid that. I also moved too quickly through Materials and didn't end up finding any Large Storage, so had some inventory space issues.
