Foofoo Posted July 3, 2006 do you go to the menu in the game and go to 'save game' or do you hit the quick save key? or do you quick save then go to 'save game' anyway to make certain its possitivley saved? 0 Share this post Link to post
Bank Posted July 3, 2006 I usually just go into the menu and make a save game. Or see if wads use autosave. 0 Share this post Link to post
Foofoo Posted July 3, 2006 thanx! :) though i need much more people's suggestion of what tactic is best to use because im really not sure which way i should do it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted July 3, 2006 Quicksave, usually every few seconds, unless I'm playing a really easy map or attempting a no-save run. 0 Share this post Link to post
Foofoo Posted July 3, 2006 hmmm... quicksave you say. im starting to swing in that direction now. 0 Share this post Link to post
TwinBeast Posted July 3, 2006 I write the save games from scratch with a text editor and then I load them up in the game and play. Sometimes I use paintbrush and draw tactical images of the save game. Then I change the image into the save game file and take away the image header and load it in the game. 0 Share this post Link to post

Speaking of that, where can I learn the Doom savegame format? 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted July 3, 2006 I usually save just before i get to a health and ammo-filled secret (sometimes even when i can see said secret) then pick up all the stuff and think "hey, it would have been better to save now" 0 Share this post Link to post

Vegeta Posted July 3, 2006 I go to menu, and save, if I'm inspired I write a new name, if not, bleh. I barely use the autosaves in Zdoom. Some times you feel like a pussy by saving, but it's much worse to die when you're geting close to the exit. Yet the second things seems to be more usual for me :-( Some times as an alterternative solution I type iddqd-iddqd to feel healthy again. 0 Share this post Link to post
LordK Posted July 3, 2006 F2, then a doubletap on the Enter key. I think that's quicker than 'quicksaving' ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted July 3, 2006 I continue hoping for a port that allows one-keypress quicksaving. 0 Share this post Link to post

Ismaele Posted July 3, 2006 I go to menu and save the game, rewriting the existing slot. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chow Yun Thin Posted July 3, 2006 I save, usually once or twice on a level, through the menu. I never quicksave because I don't want to do it every few steps. I'd rather die on a tough part and play through it from the last savegame than compulsively hit the quicksave key. 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted July 4, 2006 Oh yeah, for some odd reason i started a tradition of always mis-spelling the save game name, recently i was going through "Toms Rddd", and i'll have to restart "Noe Doom", right after finishing "Parinoya" 0 Share this post Link to post
