Change bits_per_month in savegame

[HDomos]

Is it possible to change the bits_per_month in a saved game? I built some important tracks on it, and don't want to recreate the map again (i'ts huge and it would take forever), and i want to use spacing, but cant, cause the month is too long I'm playing with experimental (i don't know if it matters).

Yes it is possible.
Save your game in .xms format (uncompressed). Open your save in Notepad and there you can see this:

You should be able to change it in the in-game settings menu. In many paksets this is triggered by the 'i' key.

If that doesn't work, add the following to your menuconf.tab in the appropriate place:


dialog_tool[27]=,i

Thanks for the fast reply.
