Game Save Error in Oolite 1.75.0.4375

Post by Commander Wilmot »

I loaded all my saved games and all of them have my ship missing equipment. I went to the shipyard on my account and found that my Vampire IV Diamondback is worth absolutely nothing. I tried re-installing and the problem persisted.

Did you buy the ship legitimately, or did you erm, alter your save file?

Hi Commander Wilmot... is that an old version of trunk that you're running. Updating to 1.75.1 would be a good idea.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

thanks for the prompt reply, I will try that; and actually I did buy the ship, I'm a mercenary, not a pirate.

Glad to hear it :D
No slight intended. I asked because some have got into trouble hacking save files. It's tempting and easy to do, but also easy to make a pig's ear of.
Try El_Viejo's suggestion of running the current release 1.75.1. Hopefully that will sort this out, but come back if not.

It happened again, I'll try to upgrade to 1.75.1.

Why don't you upgrade to 1.75.2?

And about your problem with missing equipment: can you explain a little more? Which equipment went missing? If it's OXP-equipment, had you removed some OXPs in-between?

Also, how and where do you install new versions of Oolite? If you install them in a new location you have to move your AddOns-folder to that new location as well, or else the OXPs are no longer installed.

There were a few OXPs that needed updating in the logs posted elsewhere. If they are the provider of said equipment, the answer is to check your OXPs are as up to date as possible (and if they still give log errors, alert the OXP writer).

As McLane says, if you can be more specific on what's gone AWOL then a solution or at least further suggestions can be forthcoming.

I meant to say that I'd upgrade to version 1.75.2, I am currently running 1.75.1. I forgot about the equipment aspect, it hasn't come back again. It's just my ship that is once again worthless.

I updated to 1.75.2 and the error persists. I did a double check and there is an equipment issue, the only thing that is missing is the automatic chaff system. I'll see if there's an update from acs 1.2.

Please e-mail me your saved game (and specify which OXPs it depends on).

Thanks, I'll do that as soon as my computer is working again. The computer I run Oolite on refuses to let me recharge the battery. I can't tell whether it's the ac adapter, the computer, or both.

I sent it to you. My ship is a Vamp. MK.IV Diamondback, so you will need that oxp. You will also need the missile analyzer, the one way ticket to Oserati, the misjump analyzer, the fuel collector, and the bounty scanner.
