Save game update from 34.05 to 34.07 problem
« on: April 01, 2012, 05:56:14 pm »
Not sure if this the right place to ask this, but I attempted to update from 34.05 to 34.07 by copying my save folder (in /data)to the new version and I am getting an odd error message:

"FATAL ERROR:

data/save/regoin1/raw/objects/text/book_instruction.txt NOT FOUND"

The load menu shows my game, but this error occurs when I try to actually load it. To make it worse, I accidentally cut past instead of copying pasting, so when I copied back over the save folder to 34.05, it didn't work either. I get the same error. I had quite an awesome game going, so if anyone knows a fix to this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Did you try copying the book_instruction.txt file from your raw/objects/text folder into the relevant spot in your save folder?

Yeah, I actually tried that, and also copying the whole 'raw' folder into region1 since it says thats where ti is missing from, and that folder doesn't exist in my save folder. When I do that I get this message:

FATAL ERROR:
Missing Creature Body Definition: RCP_EYELIDS

Seems like something didn't copy over properly when I originally cut and pasted. Its kind of puzzling me.

Yeah, that's really odd, considering eyelids were added in 34.05. You might have to give up on the save since it seems borked, unless you want to try adding in the eyelid definitions manually.

Can you confirm the existence of these entries in body_rcp.txt?

Your original error is because you screwed up the cut/paste somehow and some bits of your save are missing.

The new error is because the save is from *before* 34.05, and needs the old eyelids definition:

Create body_rcp_eyelids.txt and put this in it:
Code: [Select]
body_rcp

[OBJECT:BODY]

[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]

Dwarven blood types are not A, B, AB, O but Ale, Wine, Beer, Rum, Whisky and so forth.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Solved! I made the txt file you mentioned and my old fortress is back up and running! Thanks for the help, I never would have known to try that.

I downloaded .07 version, transferred my saves from .05 to .07. and updated my save raws in save/region/raw -folder. That's when I encountered the same problem of FATAL ERROR: Missing Creature Body Definition: RCP_EYELIDS.

So it needs the old eyelids definition like mentioned , this [BODY:RCP_EYELIDS] and so on. I made the following change and I managed to load my saves without error message.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Now there are [BODY:RCP_EYELIDS], [BODY:RCP_1_EYELIDS], [BODY:RCP_2_EYELIDS] and [BODY:RCP_3_EYELIDS] entries... is that a problem or is that going to be a problem if I continue playing? In ver .07 there are three entries related to eyelids and now there are four.
