SAVING AND RESTORING
|
|
====================
|
|
Since omega's dungeon is quite large, only the current dungeon and
|
|
the city level will be saved; other dungeons you may have entered
|
|
previously will be regenerated as you re-enter them. If you know the
|
|
spell of Return, however, (learnable at the Explorers' Club) you will
|
|
be able to warp to your deepest excursion in any dungeon without
|
|
having to retraverse the old levels in between. Some other shortcuts
|
|
exist for "warping" from one locale or level to another.
|
|
|
|
Games can be restored by giving the save file as a command line argument
|
|
as in:
|
|
|
|
% omega quasar.sav
|
|
|
|
To at least simulate the continuity of character in the game, saved
|
|
files will be unlinked on restoration. Of course, you *can* copy them.
|
|
|
|
Save files are automatically compressed unless the flag
|
|
COMPRESS_SAVE_FILES is undefined in odefs.h. This doubles the amount
|
|
of time taken to save, but reduces the typical save file by a factor
|
|
of more than 10. If you feel that the wait is too long, and have space
|
|
to burn, you can turn off save-file compression in the Options menu.
