[Rseding91] [0.17.32] Issue with map editor and save conversion

Post by Cornbreadx »

Not sure if this has been reported, but the new release has a bug with the map editor. I have a save game that I have been working on for quite some time. After the most recent major update, I have continued to play this saved game. I made some updates to the map according to the new recipes for science pots. In doing this, I needed to edit the map to add in a small lake and replenish a stone quarry. I saved the game as I have done in the past and then went to convert it in the map editor.

When you attempt to convert, the green status bar progresses as normal. When done, the conversion status bar disappears, but then reappears and repeats the process (or what seems to be repeating the process). This was oddly different from PRE-updated release. After the second "attempt" to convert, the status goes away, but when you go to load the game, it will only load the progress within the save PRE-update. Any changes I made to the map POST update are not reflective.

To try and fix this, I deleted the edited map and reloaded the game. I then attempted to convert the POST update save once more, and once again, it tooled through the status update twice. I went to load the game, and BAM - it's the old save PRE update?!?!?!? It is as if the conversion system for the map editor has a memory log of the PRE update map stuck in its system and will only allow access to the PRE update converted map and will not convert the POST update map at all.

Odd.

Hope this can be fixed soon as I want to make a few changes to the map and upload to my server for a group of us to continue working on.

Thanks

Thanks for the report. This should be fixed in the next version of 0.17.
