The latest official OpenBOR version (v6391) has a well known bug in the continue timer. If all onscreen players are defeated and credit sharing is enabled, the timer instantly drops to 0, causing a game over before players may continue.
This bug is due to a very simple one line error in the engine code and I've already fixed it for upcoming versions. However, it may be some time yet as of this writing before I can prepare a release. In the meantime, you may insert this script function into your game modules as a patch.

Installation
- Download the package, extract, and place the included
dc_bug_patchfolder indata/scripts. #importthe function file into your update.c and execute it inmain(). An example update.c is included to show you what this looks like.- You may adjust the continue countdown by passing an integer value (in seconds) to the function. See example below:
C:
#import "data/scripts/dc_bug_patch/continue_timer.c"
void oncreate()
{
}
void ondestroy()
{
}
void main()
{
/*
* Execute the bug patch function.
* The numeric value is allowed
* continue time in game seconds.
* Native engine default is 10.
*/
int continue_time = 15;
dc_continue_bug_patch(continue_time);
}
