#12 How to edit stored stats?
Is there a way to edit stored scores from previous
turns? As you can (hopefully) see from the attached
screenshot, I joined a game midway through and for
some reason the first turn all the scores showed up as
very large (range zero to ~31000), but since then all
scores have shown up as normal (range zero to ~8500).
Is there a way to delete the first turn's score data? I
doubt such a feature is actually built into VPA, but can I
edit some data file manually?

Also, sorry for the bad quality screenshot (is there a way to
acutally capture screenshots of VPA?) but the numbers of the
scale down the left side really are double-printed, not just
blurred. I've attached a second screenshot showing that in
detail.

looks like a bug in the score display routine to me, not
like a need to edit the score file.
regarding screenshots: if you have Windows, the PrintScreen
key should do it.

Well, the scores displayed like that on the first turn I played
(for whatever reason) and then went "normal" on the next
and subsequent turns. When I get a moment I'll try recreating
that turn from the original RSTs and see if it still does it.
PrintScreen does not work, at least not for me on Windows
XP, due to VPA running in 16-bit fullscreen DOS mode I
assume. I don't know if I'd have any better luck if I could run
it in a window (which I can't) but I can't screencapture
anything but a black rectangle at best. Is there an "Export
screenshot" feature on the wishlist? :)

Back to the screenshot thing, I just had the opportunity to
try out VPA on a number of other computers, both WinXP and
Win2000, and results are highly variable. Sometimes VPA
works in VGA but not SVGA mode, sometimes SVGA but not
VGA, sometimes neither (haven't found one that does both
yet). The ones that work in SVGA mode (among those I
tested) are capable of switching to windowed mode ("frozen",
not playable, but enough for a screenshot) whereas VGA-
mode can't do windowed and can't be screenshot.
I attached a proper screenshot (Image3.png) from a SVGA
system.

Two more screenshots of a different game I just joined
partway through and the same issue came up. I joined the
game on turn 34, and you can see in Image4.png that half
the score values are unknown (+++), and the score totals
that are there are generally very wrong (due to the missing
values). On turn 35 (Image5.png), all the scores become
correct, but the bad data from turn 34 really messes up the
scale of the graph for the rest of the game.
