I'm not sure if this will get fixed, since we're so close to JtRH, but it seems that there still is a version of the scroll-loss bug hanging around. And besides, I really need it something done for when I release the final level of Deep Hold. (I might actually get to that today, but it's not as good without scrolls). Anyways, this is what's happened. It also might be something else altogether.

Anyways, I was making a copy of Deep Hold for another computer. I exported, imported, etc. and everything worked fine. When I wanted to edit Deep Hold from my other computer, it naturally made me a new copy of the hold for that computer.

Then I noticed that the new copy had no text left on its scrolls. Every single one in the hold was blank. I checked the copy I had imported, and it was perfect. All the scrolls were in place.

Anyways, when I tried to type text into one of the blank scrolls, it seemed to work fine. I clicked OK. If I open up the scroll again, it's fine, and what I typed is still there. If I exit editing that room then go back in, the text has disappeared again.

If anybody could help me on this it would be really appreciated. These scrolls are really important.

Try exporting your player from the first computer and importing into the second computer. Then import the hold. If you use that imported player, you won't need to make a copy of the hold to edit it.

I think this is the same as the other scroll loss bugs mentioned. I've fixed it for a new patch.
