Re: Multiple Drive Check
Posted by: Bod/STAX Oct,27.2012-14:24 

I'm thinking ahead with this.

I'm one of the few that still uses floppy drives so when the game eventually will get released it will be on MSA files.

I have disk checking at the moment so if any other disk is put into the drive instead of the main program disk it will inform you to insert the program disk.

What I want to do is if you have any external drives disk swapping will be kept to an absolute minimum. Also if you have booted the game and put a data disk in dive A and the program disk in an external drive everything will still load normally.

Of course if you'd copy the main program and all data files into a folder on a harddisk no disk swap request would appear.

A good example of this is the game Operation Thunderbolt. That game came on three disks but if you had an external drive disk swapping was kept to a bare minimum and in most cases only two disks were ever used.
