The "duplicates" are the backup savegame files that can be useful if you ever need to recover a game.

I don't think comments are limited to ego strokes but they don't have to be ego busters either.

It's a game and someone was trying to help. Stop being so fragile. There may be a way to fix it.

Honestly, there's no need for a rant.

Just to let everyone know I haven't lost any seeds using the VST since I stopped updating the internet stats. Your stats are still updated as you progress and really the ranking doesn't mean a lot when there are people who use the spoiler info.

Great game and the VST is the icing on the cake!

NEW (BETA) VERSION

i think you might be on to something, legs3246.

HERE is a new version of VST that should be immune to that strange updating-the-stats bug.

this version will work with the files made from the previous version of VST.

in addition, if you lost seeds in the past, and have a backup copy of the .vst file, or if you did not use VST to save new seeds since losing seeds, this version has a good chance of being able to recover those seeds.

although the change in the program was minor, this is still a new version. so consider this a beta-test version, and consider yourself a beta-tester for the first few weeks.

while i don't expect anyone to have any problems, if anyone does lose any seeds with this new version, please leave a note here. also, if you try out the program and don't have any problems, leave a note to that effect. If a few people report no problems over the next few weeks we can consider this bug squashed.

thank you.

sincerely,

Thx a looooooooooootttttttt.....

Borg roxxxxxxxxxzzzzzzz....

originally there was a PT leaderboard. at that time, ladycfii and i were very cautious in making decisions as to what VST could do. we did discuss the topic of seed transferring.

transferring seeds between files perhaps could have been mis-used to propel someone to the top of the leaderboard, and therefore might have been viewed as cheating.

so now, i am curious - since there is no PT leaderboard, does anyone have any strong opinions about this?

does the virtual seed box have a mac version?

No, there's no Mac version. Borg does his programming on a PC and doesn't have access to a Mac.
