Hmm, strange.

Can you reproduce it?
Can you provide the previous autosave?
Were you building transport belts or viewing blueprint at that time?

Posted: **Tue Aug 25, 2015 8:20 am**

I also had a crash on autosave at the start of a custom map.

I deleted an entity description file from dytech because it annoyingly increased the size of the side panel with too long descriptions, I hope that has nothing to do with this.
edit: marathon mod is deactivated.

Thank you for the cooperation, I was finally able to reproduce the bug.

I found out, it is caused by the TimeButtons mod. It destroys the gui in the on_save event, which is definitelly a bad idea. So now, instead of crashing, the game shows the script error.

Removing this code should fix the problem, the mod author should probably know about it, as the mod will not be usable at all in 0.12.5 until this is removed.

Code: Select all

game.on_save (function()
	if game.player.gui.top.menu_tb ~= nil then game.player.gui.top.menu_tb.destroy() end
	if game.player.gui.top.tb_frame ~= nil then 
		game.player.gui.top.tb_frame.destroy()
	end
	
	if debug_timebuttons == 1 then game.player.print("DEBUG: SAVE AND CLEAR GUI") end
end)

Just so you know Im not using the TimeButton mod.

Can you reproduce it?
Can you provide the previous autosave?
Were you building transport belts or viewing blueprint at that time?

As far as i remember i wasnt doing anything. I was watching and waiting to see which angle the biters were comming from.
I cannot provide the previous auto save as i played again shortly after my original post. It had actually saved sucessfully and i did not loose any play time. It has not happened again since.

Well, it could be some other mod doing that.

Please, report it if it happens again in 0.12.5

Well that fixed the problem for me (because the problem came from this mod).
I don't know anything about programming but you can save your mod settings on his GUI and then clear it (= destroy it), so I guess "save" is confusing (saving game, or saving mod settings? Whatever just destroy everything).
