News from the Forge: DoomRL 0.9.9.2 BETA status thread
jake250:
Oh my god! Graphics! I have been waiting for this for what... 5 years? Can't believe its almost there now...!
Is the graphic version available to those that donated yet?
Brewtal Legend:
Will the player info from the last version be compatable with the new one? I really don't want to go earning my ranks and badges yet again.
Tavana:
I don't believe that the player.wad and score.wad are broken YET, but be prepared for it to come eventually. Anytime you add new badges, medals, uniques, challenge modes, et cetera...you will need a new score.wad and player.wad.
Also the Graphics version is still in alpha phase, so it's only available to a select few. Once we get rid of most of the horrible horrible bugs, those that have donated will get their hands on it.
Malek Deneith:
Actually from what I remember current player.wad and score.wad structure was built with the idea that they will NOT be broken when new stuff gets added. In fact there were new uniques added (and removed) since the "great player.wad breakage" and only thing that was hurt in the process was the "seen uniques out of existing" number in player info page.

This I can attest to. I have figured out the formats for the player.wad and score.wad files (not really hard), and have found them to be in a format that is compatible in either direction. Case in point, some of the old 0.9.9 unique finds are still within the player.wad file, and it just doesn't get shown in the 0.9.9.1/0.9.9.1 when the unique has been removed (I'm referring to the Advanced Tech mod). So breakage is unlikely folks.
