Convert a Savegame into a Map

A script to use with ModTools for converting a savegame into a map.

Intro and Preparation

This Script was originally made by SamSamTS for Strictoaster's Cedar Valley Project and fixed by Ronyx69 for the Industries Update.

In case a future update will break this script, please don't ask me to fix it. The before mentioned modders are not responsible for maintaining this script either.

You'll need

• Your savegame, cleaned of unnessessary assets (everything can be brought to the map editor).
  
• ModTools by BloodyPenguin

Step by Step

• Subscribe and activate ModTools.
  
• Open your savegame and save it under a new name.
  
• Return to main menu.
  
• Deacitvate every asset and mod not needed for the savegame (keep ModTools active).
  
• Restart the game if nessesary.
  
• Hit F7 and paste the following script :

ColossalFramework.Packaging.Package.Asset latestSaveGame = SaveHelper.GetLatestSaveGame();
SaveGameMetaData saveGameMetaData = latestSaveGame.Instantiate<SaveGameMetaData>();

LoadingManager.instance.LoadLevel(saveGameMetaData.assetRef, "MapEditor", "InMapEditor", new SimulationMetaData() { m_WorkshopPublishedFileId = ColossalFramework.PlatformServices.PublishedFileId.invalid, m_updateMode = SimulationManager.UpdateMode.LoadMap}, false);

• Your latest modified savegame will now be opened into the map editor. You can edit and save it like any other map now.
  
• Don't forget to test before publishing the map.

I get some very strange errors claiming I'm missing stuff that I don't know what is, or that I removed (re your "Step by Step").

Like No assembly named 'ServicePointGroupPanel' 'HotelGroupPanel'

And it gives warning that I'm missing Base Metro Track Tunnel0, even if I used RON to replace everything with Vanilla.

Is this working for BloodyPenguin's latest version?

FYI, you need to use the MOD TOOLS BETA for now till the other one is updated. Scrips are working nicely!///

Seems to fail. Reloads in game, not map editor.

It says "failed to complete command line". Am I doing something wrong?

[TheUnderJaker]

Can anyone verify that this method still works in 2022? I couldn't get it to work, just wondering if it no longer works for everyone or if I'm just doing something wrong.

Sorry, can't help you with that.

When I open it in map editor, there were still be cars running on the roads. And the game crash when I created I new game for that at the loading interface.
