Yes, sir:)!

Awaiting further instructions.

Hmm. Very strange. I cannot access Windows-version right now (Win3.1 requires too much efforts. :/, but yes, I checked DOS, and yes, it refuses to set this slider for me. :( And as everything _else_ works perfectly, I suspect, yes, we are missing something... Sorry, I have no idea what is it.

Yep, very strange.

Sad thing. It makes no sense to create a wonderful, detailed zoo, plants and bulding a huge world to the smallest piece to see it going more and more strange, watch mass-extinctions and so on.

A bug in such an essential setting... hard to believe:cry:.

Anyway, thanks for your efforts & the test - to see that somebody cares for such a problem (the problem of a completlely strange person) is a nice experience!

Maybe someone else can help? Nobody who remembers this could-be-gem?

Had another idea - simply change that d*** setting in the SAV-file. But as i have no identical files with just the different settings to compare and without that no idea where to search the value in the file it makes little to no sense to search with a hex-editor... it´s a scream.

Well, actually, it's not so futile, as it sounds... I'll try it. ;)

Solved.

Settings are goes after second identical four-letter sequence (OZLS for my "experimental mode", but it's different for other saves). I think, first sequence limit variables for "default" settings, while second is for the "current" ones.

But it's everything but slider.

Slider and some other mysterious settings goes after H0150 up to FF FF sequence at H019B. I have no idea what all of them does, but byte H0154 _is_ slider position, measured from 00 (zero) to FF (max). Default is 7F, obviously.

I hope, it's not only visual difference, while other bytes regulate actual behavior. :) Anyway - now you know where to search. :)

BTW, in manual I seen words like "you are free to exchange your worlds between platforms" - try Amiga/Mac versions for this settings? I can be wrong though.

Alter Schwede.

I´ll try it as soon as possible and will report.

Found it, worked on it, saved it...

and am speecheless. Is it really true? Damage should not be done as the correction was extremely limited...

Starting long-time-test very soon - report will follow.

Seems to work perfectly to me:OK:.

Now i can build my gigantic anthill, my Kong-Island, work with mutation under transparent circumstances...

Many, many thanks!
