2.12 VQ nerf

Did you install dom2 into a different directory or drive the second time around?
Maybe the map information is stored on the file and says:
The game map is in "A:\bcdefg\hijkl\mnop\dominions2\maps"
Instead of the new "M:\nopqrst\uvwxyz\domII\maps"
?

Its a possibility :\

Hmm you are right about that. AI players in multiplayer write .2h files but in actual single player games they don't.

AI players don't write 2h or trn files in multiplayer, either: The 2h file that's left over is actually the Last remnant of a deceased human player's orders.

Well cut off my legs and call me shorty, then.

It is indeed - good thinking Batman. I've had a look through the fathrlnd files with a hex editor, nothing that looks like a path to a map file in any of them.

Calling all devs - I'd really appreciate a pointer here - is Agrajag onto something? I have installed Dom2 onto a different drive this time around.

Is it perhaps something to do with the Windoze registry? Is each game entered into the registry when created?

I've created a new "cc1" game, and the only change to the Dom2 directory was the new cc1 game dir being created. I then replaced the files in cc1 with the files of my old cc1 game, and it won't load. So I suspect there must be something path-specific in the ftherlnd file, but I can't find it.

Any help much appreciated,
