Any ideas on how to do this? Toady gave some mention of body plan files needing to be updated, but I don't know exactly what that means.

All I know is, when I try to run my 34.04 fort in 34.05, I get this message:

"Fatal Error: Missing Creature Body Definition: RCP_Eyelids"

Then it crashes.

I updated raws in the save file and everything. Any ideas? I'd prefer not to re-gen the world if I could, really enjoying the fort I'm working on.

I updated raws in the save file and everything.

In general, you should not attempt this unless you're familiar with how the raws work.  Copy back the old raws from a backed-up save or from 0.34.04 directly.

I encountered this problem as well, and it wasn't too hard to resolve.

I noticed that my old body_rcp.txt file had an entry for [BODY:RCP_EYELIDS] that has been replaced with [BODY:RCP_1_EYELID], [BODY:RCP_2_EYELIDS], [BODY:RCP_3_EYELIDS] , presumably to allow the eyelids to match the number of eyes. [BODY:RCP_2_EYELIDS] appears to be the same as the old [BODY:RCP_EYELIDS] entry.

So, I added to body_rcp.txt:

Code: [Select]

[BODY:RCP_EYELIDS]
[BP:L_EYELID:left eyelid:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][CATEGORY:EYELID][SMALL][EMBEDDED]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:2]
[BP:R_EYELID:right eyelid:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][CATEGORY:EYELID][SMALL][EMBEDDED]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:2](It's probably better to paste from your old raw file than from a forum post.)

So far, so good. We'll see how stable the game remains.

You don't need to update the RAWs at all. 04 saves will put in the errorlog about the eyelid stuff, that's it, they work perfectly fine otherwise. Don't update the RAWs unless you know what you're doing.

Oh, is there some setting to enable the error log instead of the game just crashing? (Unmodified 34_02 install for the old save, trying to start with an unmodified 34_05 install.) After displaying the message, the game closes.

Get your save region folder from 0.34.04.
Replace in b_detail_plan_default.txt in your save raws with the one from 0.34.05.
DON'T replace any other raws!

Alternatively don't replace any raws at all, just move the region folder from 0.34.04.
You won't get eyelids fix, but it is not a big problem.

Could be due to using an 02 save? As a general rule of thumb, unless you REALLY like your current save and you know for a fact that you can update the save to the newest version, it's best to either play out that save in the version you started it in, or start anew with the new version.

Also, there's nothing to enable, the errorlog's always there, and it probably is logging the error you keep having, it's just in your case 02's too old. You may be able to bring the save over and then copy only the 05's b_detail_plan_default.txt file into the save, but again, that general rule of thumb...

[Rafal99]

He is getting:

"Fatal Error: Missing Creature Body Definition: RCP_Eyelids"

Which is the exact error that happens when you overwrite all .04 raws with raws from .05. I tried myself so I know.

And the .02 saves work fine in .05. Only save compatibility from .01 and before was broken. You can copy saves from older version to newer and use it without problems, i never had any.

[Flying Dice]

Don't mess with the raws if you don't know what you're doing. Just Ctrl-C -> Ctrl-V your save folder from your DF .34.04 data folder to your DF .34.05 data folder and it should work fine.

I did this too, seems to work fine.

Confirming that cutting a 34.03 save folder and pasting it into 34.05 produces the eyelid error and then the game will crash.

[Maopownow]

Had this problem as well (game crashing and refusing to load save that i copied over from 34.04). I can confirm that these things didn't work for me:

Get your save region folder from 0.34.04.
Replace in b_detail_plan_default.txt in your save raws with the one from 0.34.05.
DON'T replace any other raws!

Alternatively don't replace any raws at all, just move the region folder from 0.34.04.

This did work for me (Changed body_rcp.txt in the 34.04 save directory that i copied over):

So, I added to body_rcp.txt:

Code: [Select]

[BODY:RCP_EYELIDS]
   [BP:L_EYELID:left eyelid:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][CATEGORY:EYELID][SMALL][EMBEDDED]
      [DEFAULT_RELSIZE:2]
   [BP:R_EYELID:right eyelid:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][CATEGORY:EYELID][SMALL][EMBEDDED]
      [DEFAULT_RELSIZE:2]

All vanilla, no Phoebus save update utility or anything like that?

[xordae]

Oh, yeah I use Phoebus.

[Footkerchief]

Oh, yeah I use Phoebus.

DF 0.34.05 raws are not compatible with worlds generated with DF 0.34.04 or earlier
If you want to use your old savegames in 0.34.05, do NOT update your savegame raws.
