Why not add a save game button to the JBB client menu. If a player drops the remaining player can save the game and then they can reload that saved game. This could be a nice supplement to the Auto save in use now. This would also prevent players from dropping out due to the fact they got a bad HC against them or a player niggled as the other coach will just save the game and nothing will be lost when they set it up again and the other player connects.
Note. I am not sure of how all the technical stuff of the JBB works, so I don’t know if this is possible at all |

Well, auto-save saves everyturn (and action if you don't mind bugs) so having a save button seems like just extra files and load time, no? just my opinion  |

I'm not sure if that's possible, but I'm pretty sure that the game could keep a back-up of the .dat file when it creates a new one. I've just had a problem today where we tried to load the .inc file. The game was corrupted and my opponent, by causing a turnover before I had a chance to notify him that there was a something wrong, overwrote the .dat file and we were basically screwed. Keeping the last two turn's .dat might be a reasonable solution to these kind of situations. |

If you use the fumbbl proxy, the .inc files dont' usually work...you have to use the .dat files (only save at end/begining of turn).
Yet another reason to play direct connect games. |
