Sorry you are experiencing this, but thank you for posting the message Fabricated. The developer is looking into this and we hope to have an update for everyone soon.

I'm getting a similar error:

FATAL ERROR in

My symptoms are that (a) I can't load the game at all (b) before I try to load the game, a new option comes up, to ask me if I want to load the easy, medium or hard save (only medium is selected). Previously (when the load game functionality worked), I just loaded the campaign and it loaded immediately.

I'm guessing there was some change in the last update (as the easy/medium/hard option was introduced in the last update) and the new version can't read the old version's save game.

I could post my savegame here, but it is quite large. I have parsed the file itself, and these are the relevant values:

More data:

I've started a new game (I saved my old bbots.ini of course ) and I parsed the new file.

The new save format uses numbers as ids (e.g. 72), while the new format uses string identifiers instead.

For example:

Old format:

rm2_3B_SPECIAL;72;0;0;*

New format:

rm2_3B_SPECIAL;Hero;0;0;*

I'm also seeing some new values on some rooms. Do you think it's salvageable, or should we scrap our savegames and start from the beginning?

I already fixed the "Get -1.inst(100156, 0)" error thanks to Vaagur. Its not a save read/write issue as I initially suspected. The error is in the script that process the object data structure. The old saved files are readable so don't trash them yet. You will still be able to continue the game from the point of crash/error.

I will release a build soon. Just need to fix one more issue.

[Coccinella]

Damn, I had almost finished a script that converts the old format to the new one

All that is missing is the mapping of the old name (e.g. '72') to the new name (e.g. 'Hero').

Thanks to the dev for the quick turnaround on this, really appreciate that. Hopefully we'll see an update soon.

Thanks for the update! Now game doesn't crash between rooms :D
