Personal money bug

[ilthraenai]

I haven't found anyone talking about this one, so here I am.

So your family money can get transferred from one city to the next, which is great. I make money in one city, and then will give to the city in the early stages of the next city, so I can build faster, and get my economy going.

Now I got to Dunqul where I gave all my money to the city, and ended up still losing the game for being too much of a prolific builder on pause. Loaded it to find all my money gone.

Loaded even older cities where I know I had money. Still zero. Restared Dunqul from scratch, all zeroes everywhere! Seems like the game stores this on a global flag, and once you spend it, it's gone, no matter if you reload the game.

Does anyone know if this is in a file somewhere, that I can manually edit? I promise I wont cheat, I just want what is mine.

Yes, there is, but do not ask me where :)

Your personal money is saved in your family save, not in the missions save. This is why you do not have money if you spend it.

But there have to be many threads on this issue here which i read ages ago.

Hello, personal savings for a mission are stored in the save game file for a mission, as well as in some other file that cannot be read by opening them in a text editor. However, due to a bug in the vanilla Pharaoh ANE game, this is not handled properly, so restarting missions will not restore lost funds as it should: although this was alleged to have been fixed by the official patches, there’s obviously been some areas where its not fixed.

I would recommend downloading our community-led bug fix mod pack and set the “OriginalCampaignProgression” option in the mod config file to true. This will correctly carry over personal funds from previous missions to the next one [so in such a case, you would just load the last save from Bahariya Oasis or Djedu — whichever mission you chose — and “win” again to carry over your savings to Dunqul]. At this point, you would then start Dunqul, make a save and then the mod pack will be able to restore the personal savings carried over by just loading that save game before anything has been built.
