Title: Open save file from 88.10.5 in 100
Post by: citybus7 on November 19, 2008, 08:31:15 am
Hello,
I do not have much time to play, but every now and then I get this Simutrans rush... I have been playing 88.10.5 for quite some time now, but now I have also installed 100. I have a save game from the older version that I would like to continue playing. I am using pak128. I copied the save game into the 'save' directory in my documents, but I cannot open it with 100 - the game crashes. I noticed that the load window does not display that the old save game is pak128, instead it says 'unknown'.
I would very much appreciate any help. Thanks.

It displays "Unknown" since 88.10.5 did not save any pakset information. For loading, I recommend the latest nightly, since 100.0 has quite some bugs. But you likely also need some additional factories.

Hmmm... thanks for your help, I am now quite further... the savegame starts loading, and when the bar nears completion, the following message is displayed:
   FATAL ERROR: fabrik_t::rdwr()
   no besch for Kohlengrube
I'm guessing this is because I am missing some files, yet I am unsure what and where from to install...
Thanks.
