"too many save onetime tags"

I encountered an interesting debug message. I ran the game in game.exe, started a new game and saved it in slot 0. After closing the game, reloading slot 0, and then quitting again, it creates a g_debug .txt file with the following warning:



What could that mean?

Is there even a slot 0?

Yes. All numerical values in OHR start at 0. So if there are 4 save slots, they are numbered 0, 1, 2, 3.

Pretty much any programming language starts at 0

Yes, this message is printed every time you load any game, and has been for about a year. We haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. It's an off-by-one error in the saving or loading code, and the solution is probably to just not print that message.

Some thigns in the OHR start at 1 rather than 0. Positions in a string for example, which is unfortunate. A number of programming languages have everything starting at 1 rather than 0.

Reminds me of some old MS DOS game that crashed each time you closed the game, they changed the error message to essentially "good bye!", so you could change that specific error message to something like "game loaded". You know, flair.

I've heard that story. IIRC the error was generated by the memory extender, so they patched the memory extender to change the error message.
