New EitB PBEM

[Miguelito]

@miguelito: did you verify that the "Lock modified assets" option was not selected when you loaded from naufragar's worldbuilder file?

Yes I did. Not sure how to proceed from here. Somehow naufragar's map is corrupted (how thematic).

I have a few desperate ideas left and will start sending saves to you and nauf shortly, starting with disabling the "No Lairs" option.

[naufragar]

I was unable to open the No Lairs save. Still getting the those three "protected assets" errors. (Although Dave, you should probably try to open it too, just in case.)

Sorry for breaking the game guys. I don't get it: Cairo and I were able to exchange viable saves. 

[naufragar]

Miguelito, yes! Your EitB_LIV_mod_WBsave_Turn_-_1_to_Cardith_Lorda worked! (The others didn't.) What did you fix?

[Miguelito]

Sent 3 more variants, with little hope.

I also had the following idea: To narrow it down whether the problem is the game/ player settings or the map, naufragar could:
a) paste his map into the WBsave that I posted, while maintaining all lines above BeginMap
b) do the inverse and paste his settings over the random map. That probably requires adjusting the player starts as my map has different dimensions*
Then start a PBEM, play the turn with the first player, and send it to some player. That player only has to verify that the save loads, and when he gets the popup "Perpentach, it's your turn" Alt+F4 immediatley so as not to get spoiler info (in particular relevant for variant a) )


* I sadly could not avoid noticing that naufragar's map has dimensions of 60 x 40, so here is the info for everybody. I solemny swear that I managed to look away from player starting positions. That is also why I'm asking nauf to do this, as executing b) would require me to look at them ( a) would give me map spoilers either way).

I think the difference might be that you generated a save for the first player which Cairo picked up, while the saves that were rejected were the ones automatically generated when ending a PBEM turn. Actually that might be a lead somewhere? Notice though that the test save that I provided was also of the latter sort.

No, I was able to open the Beeri Bawl save the Cairo was trying to send Mack as the next player in line.

Ok so I wanted to see if I could benefit from the successful test file.

So I first copied that, then pasted everything that was game specific over. Player settings and map. While at it I also changed "LeaderName=Kardith Lorda" to "LeaderName=TXT_KEY_LEADER_CARDITH" to make it uniform. When I compared my file to your original one with my tool, that was the only difference detected. So either something was wrong with your file, which seems pretty illogic, or it was that line. Maybe the blankspace instad of underscore?
Fwiw I also checked that all WBsave files are encoded with UTF-8

At this point I also wnat to apologize for taking the liberty to scroll down in the WBsave file, in my attempt to make it work. I hope that I did not overstep a boundary, or if I did it can be forgiven. As I said I can promise that I did not get spoiler info beyond the global map dimension of 60x40 which I revealed above.

[Miguelito]

I will set up the game anew and send Dave a save, then let's see if it manages a full circle

edit: sent (to nauf as well), please confirm that it loaded

[DaveV]

The EitB_LIV_mod_WBsave_Turn_-_1_to_Cardith_Lorda worked for me, too! Are we ready to play on now, or do we need another round of fixes?

Edit: crosspost, I'll wait for your next save.

naufragar already revealed this in post #52.

naufragar told me that the last save I sent to you two did not work, so play on with the one that does. The game will have that stupid title, but whatever. Check settings though, as I may have been sloppy.

Played and sent on to Mr. Cairo.
