Incorrect player pics incorporated into saved game?
I've run into a problem that I realize may not be easily explained or fixed - but thought I'd ask anyway.
I'm setting up custom pics for certain players.
In my config.xml file I had the same unique id mapped to multiple pics. I know this part works fine because I've done this successfully before when I want multiple pics for the same player.
However, this time it wasn't intentional. I temporarily had a pic for Player A mapped to the unique ID for Player B. (A pic for Player B was also mapped to the unique id for Player B.)
Once I figured out the correct unique id for Player A, I updated the config.xml file. However, I'd already saved the game when the mapping was incorrect.
Now with the correct mapping (and the same saved game) I sometimes see the correct pic for Player B, but I also sometimes see a blank pic for Player B. (Player A is fine.)
(When you have multiple pics mapped to a player, it chooses one at random each time you go to the player's profile.)
It seems that Player B is still trying to show the incorrect pic. But since that pic is now associated with Player A (correctly), the game sometimes shows a blank for Player B. And somehow saving the game has incorporated this mapping. Do saved games record some of this mapping info? If so, there may not be an easy way to undo this.
I know if I hadn't saved the game, I'd be fine - because I've tried the approach before. (If I don't have the unique id for a player, I'll map it to someone else - temporarily. Next time I'll comment out the mapping instead. )
