Is it possible to add extra spaces to the save scenario section? As there don't seem to be many - or change the way scenario are saved, in which you can save it like a normal file (like Roller Coaster Tycoon uses) as the current way doesn't let you save many games, and you can't name them!

Same thoughts exactly, sometimes I get mixed up in which games are which! It would be good to be able to delete certain files too.

And I just realised that was also the same in Beach Life! (also by Deep Red) You can't edit files, make more than about 10 saves, delete ones or put names on them.

Only the date and time...

Well, we can't have everything.

Though that is something to think about when Deep Red make their next game, eh?

Well looking at the save script it would be possible to change it to cater for what you need. I don't have time to go into the details but look at

GAMEDATA\Scripts\UI\Panels\Frontend\FE_LoadSave.lua

and

GAMEDATA\Scripts\UI\Panels\InGame\InGameSave.lua

If you intend to edit them, ensure you make a backup of these files in case it all goes a bit pear-shaped on you.

regards
