Permament presets saving?
As we know, in the Order Catalog (or Buy Menu...), we can save presets for easier and quicker orders in future.
It's a good feature, but one thing in it annoys me - it has to be re-done every time you start another scenario, which is kinda annoying. I didn't play campaign much yet, so I don't know if this works like so in it, but...
Would it be better if you would be able to save presets permamently (until you delete them manually)? I know, there could be some conflicts with mods (somehow...), but...
And why do I use "...' so much?...
...

Right now it's indeed a bit pointless to use. Let's hope that it'll be implemented in the future.
And, gawd, why do you use '...' so much?

Re: Permament presets saving?
If you're desperate, you can manually make presets under a seperate .rte.
I don't mind the '...'...

Re: Permament presets saving?
Having presets that saved through every game, and could be deleted or edited after you make them would be AWEOME I can agree with you on this one
+1!

Re: Permament presets saving?
The problem would be quite obvious though, it would also save presets from mods. Which means that if you delete mods it will start giving errors and ♥♥♥♥.

Or, the game could just ignore unfulfilled presets, like it ingnores faulty Lua.

But Major kinda solved this problem, I suppose. Because it may be somewhat tedious presetting over and over between skirmishes and campaigns, wouldn't it?

Re: Permament presets saving?
It causes lag depending on the error though. If it's in the create or destroy function it should be minor, if it's in the update function it's a ♥♥♥♥ lag fest.
But if it's loaded when you start the scene, there shouldn't be lag at all, so Major has a point there.

Re: Permament presets saving?
There needs to be a big distinction between these and regular presets (presetname, etc.) to avoid confusion.

Re: Permament presets saving?
If there is a way to run some code in the background of any scripted activity I could make presets like in Unmapped Lands. But there is no way to run it AFAIK.

Re: Permament presets saving?
ya the buy menu presets are intended to be saved somehow.. there's a few problems with it to resolve first though, some of which were touched on here. It'll be addressed eventually
