Using build 40...


In a room with two checkpoints

1. Play through the room to the first checkpoint and use it

2. Play through to the second checkpoint and use it

3. 'r' to restore to the second checkpoint

4. As I understand, pressing 'r' again should then restore to the first checkpoint used, but instead, I'm back at the room start.

All the checkpoints are available and working via the restore page.

I've only noticed this in one room so far (1N2W of TScotts cracking new 'Happy House' hold) so I've not done alot of testing, but it's repeatable.

Maybe this is a consequence of Mike fixing this problem...

Game on,

I thought this was how it always worked? Press R once to get to the last checkpoint, press R twice to restart the room. Or is multiple checkpoint restores supposed to be a new feature of DROD:AE that I wasn't aware of?

No, I'm pretty sure I was able to go through the checkpoints in reverse order...or was I? Damn you and the uncertainty you induce in me!

Well, using the Restore menu works correctly, allowing you to choose any checkpoint, right?

No, we don't have any reverse-order checkpoint restart system in place (yet). Restart twice goes back to the start of the room.

I felt sure that was in there at some point If it were just me, I'd put it down to my swiss cheese like memory, or a particularly inane dream (DROD dreams, hmmm...) But with Oneiromancer also with his suspicions, alien conspiracy seems the only plausible option

Well, I loaded up my old 1.5 DROD, and indeed when in a room hitting R puts you first at the last checkpoint and then at the beginning of the room. So it looks like I have faulty memory. The important part is being able to do it from the Restore screen, I think.
