Please load up Hands of War if you have a save file!

If you’re a Hands of War veteran, please visit the game now and load everything up. I’m currently testing the API for a potential challenge/badges, and so far there aren’t any high scores under “Ally Factions.” If you’ve capped out any reputations in the game, I’m particularly interested in seeing if this stat submits correctly once the game is loaded (it should be as easy as checking the high scores).

Thanks!

Maybe a good timing for me to ask this question. Can a game’s API refer to the highscores in order to grant some badges that would otherwise have to be earned by playing the game again? Or can a statistic only be “saved” differently from the highscores and sent to the Kongregate server every time you load up the game?

Kind of an important difference, since when I was one of the first to earn Frantic’s no-damage statistic, I felt annoyed to have to do it again for the impossible badge without the game sending the statistic again.

ally factions is still blanc, and ive got 3

Unfortunately not, but this would be super amazing. It’s up to the games themselves to submit old accomplishments when the game is loaded, but that relies on the game storing this information.

Thanks. Hoping future developers take the time to implement their API in the way that at least all statistics are re-sent every time the game loads, if it isn’t too much trouble.

I normally don’t mind doing stuff over, but I noticed this with Frantic and I was just wondering.

I also have 3 ally factions and the Ally factions high score remains blank.

All right, sounds like it still needs some work then. Thanks guys!

When I loaded, my level 37 displayed in the high scores, my high score displayed, some kind of gold readout displayed (although far less than i have in my inventory… but when i went and sold more stuff, it increased). ally factions is not reporting, despite having 3 factions at 3000/3000. also, my quests are showing at 0, when i have every possible quest completed for my 3 factions.

Just loaded it up (and saved again) at 4:14 pm EST and the Ally Factions are now reporting for me (only have 2 maxed at 3000/3000 and displaying in green and it’s reporting 2). Will now finish up the 3rd to see if that works as well.

Loaded the game and resaved, my 3 ally factions reported. BUT, my quests are still showing 0. I even went and re-beat Shadow Lord Xin and completed the quest, but it’s still showing 0. I guess that’s because you complete the quest and immediately get the ending credits… no ability to save.

My quests are showing 0 as well.

It says no file found. Damn it i was like level 40.

re4beast: look in your chat.kongregate.com, likely you just need to move your save file from 1 subfolder to another. in the hands of war thread in games forum i explained what to do and how to do it.

Okay I will try it.
