In short
Saving/loading basics working, menu improvements!
List of changes
Career saves / Main menu
- Added a QUICKSAVE button to main menu - a way to save career with one click instead of three! The button becomes available after one 'normal' save has been done, and the career is saved to the currently loaded slot. Optional 'smarter' Quicksave behaviors (auto-organization) were completed ~75%, but were ultimately scrapped, deemed to be too unintuitive to use, and adding too much complexity to the system, for the little benefit they offered to the few people who would actually use them.
- Added text displaying the name of the currently loaded career to the main menu. If there's something to save, the text appears brighter, to indicate this.
- Added a reminder to save (if necessary) to the game exit dialog.
- Saving & loading of basic career data (excluding cars & parts) is now working, having finally been migrated to SL1R's new savefile format.
- Career files are now automatically backed-up, and recovered on next launch in case of power loss or game crash during saving. You will still lose your latest progress, but a failure won't take the old save with it! This currently only works when saving to a different save slot - a more-optimized behavior will be added next week for writing to the same one.
- Career selection is now remembered between sessions.
Misc
- Improved organization of some settings within the Options menu.
- Less-violent camera movement after loading into the garage with no car present.
- Increased the default first person walk speed.
- A fix for a silly bug related to switching directly between Catalog/CarInfo/ClubInfo within garage.
- Fixed cars bought at the dealer not being properly paintable.
- Completed the CarInfo blueprint for the Zed, and started on the one for the Sunset! As ever, thanks to Medek for helping with these!
The streets of Valo need more personalities!
