Make Hexen Load a savegame with a different package

paraemuladores

Hi there. I just started Hexen with this package:

http://talk.dengine.net/discussion/1491/xarp-hexen-authentic-resource-pack-jxccp-maintained/p1

Or so I thought. The engine, although a little slow, it works perfectly. However, I got the wrong package, it wasn't the XARP package, it was another, I'm not sure which one. So, I unloaded the package, loaded the XARP package correctly, but when I tried to load the savegame, the engine shows a message that the savegame was made with another package, and that it had a missing particule package or something like that, and it didn't allow me to load the game. I understand that every savegame depends on the package, but it's kind of a bummer that I have to play the game all over again. Is there any way to force the engine to load the savegame with the new package?

When Doomsday shows the "missing addon" dialog, press and hold down the [ALT] key. This changes the "Load Mods" button at the bottom of this dialog to "Ignore and Continue", which enables you to do exactly that.

Thanks for the reply, deus-ex. But there is no "Load Mods" button at the dialog, and pressing [ALT] doesn't work either. The only button available in the dialog is [Cancel], nothing more. By the way, I'm using the version 2.0.3 of the engine, stable build 2464, I forgot to mention it. Anything else I can try?

Start up the main game without loading any savegame first, then try to load the savegame in question from within the game. There you should see the dialog I described above.

Nope, tried that too, but the only button I see is [Cancel]. Uhm, how long should I press the [ALT] key? I tried for a long time, but it didn't work.

Probably that option is only available in the recent unstable builds then. I'm running unstable v2.1 build 2524 here.

Ok. Well, then I'll just wait a few months until the engine is optimized. Thanks a lot!!
