Create New World Overwrites Imported Save
« on: August 10, 2008, 11:42:02 pm »

I had a succession game saved into region2 and played it some, also at some point creating a world which filled region1.  Later, I created a second new world, and instead of skipping over the already existent region2 save, it simply saved on top of it.  It seems that DF doesn't recognize saves copied from elsewhere when it is determining what to name new saves.

This didn't reproduce for me with an imported save.  Do you have a copy of the save that was copied over?  Can you get it to reproduce?

I think  it might be important that the imported save skip over a region number, i.e. region 2 on a fresh install, followed by creating two new worlds.  I'll see if I can get it to reproduce.
