| Description | From Woodsie69 ...
"I've just upgraded TDM v2-03 to v2-04 and I'm playing "PD 3: Erasing the Trail".
I've got f7 as "quicksave" and f9 as "quickload".
I can't figure out how the new system works, because when I press f7 the game is saved, and in the load/save menu the quicksave is saved as "hurtig gemning_0" (quick save in Danish), but when quickload is pressed nothing happens - because the game is trying to load "hurtig gemning", which doesn't exist. I know that because I renamed the quicksave from the in game menu and it loads fine without the underscore and zero in the very end of the quicksave file.
So the problem as I can see it is that TDM saves quicksaves as "hurtig gemning_0" and loads them as "hurtig gemning" (if it exists)
I've got the following entry in "Darkmod.cfg": seta com_numQuickSaves "2"
I'm using Linux Mint 17.3 64 bit (Ubuntu 14.04 under the hood), and it runs from the "darkmod" folder in my "/home" folder, which means no restriction in read/write." |

| Additional Information | My test does this:
1 - Switch to Danish
2 - Save using quicksave
3 - Move somewhere else and save using quicksave
4 - Look at savegames in-game and the save/load menu only shows one quicksave: "Hurtig gemning_0". This is the second of my two quicksaves, so the second overwrote the first.
5 - Look at the savegame folder and it only contains "Hurtig gemning_0.save"
If I repeat the above steps in English, I get "Quicksave_0.save" and "Quicksave_1.save". No overwriting.
So it appears there's a problem saving multiple quicksaves under I18N
Also, switching languages mid-game is going to create a problem, because a quicksave is a quicksave is a quicksave, regardless of the language in use. If I do two quicksaves in Danish, and then two quicksaves in English, then I end up with 4 quicksaves in the savegames folder. What should happen is that the save/load code should look for savegame files that have language-independent filenames, so that if I save a game in Danish and switch to English, I can still load my Danish-saved savegame. That won't happen with the current code.
