error loading saved game

[cuchara]

when I want to load a saved game on OpenBOR v3.0 Build 3710 and OpenBOR v3.0 Build 3711

openbon suddenly close up, in log text says this:

********** An Error Occurred **********

1. The save is from an older version.
2. The file is currupted.
3. It is from a different platform

the error is still there, I have erased all saves archives and generate new ones, but nothing

Have you tried another game?

[Bloodbane]

 utunnels, have you solved this 'unable to spawn player' bug?

[utunnels]

Nah, I never have this problem myself.

 Maybe you can try playing GIJoe mod with latest build. I think this bug is related to level set/game mode with many entries.

[utunnels]

Well I can't even get the first level started.
It seems GI JOE forces both p1 and p2 to have max lives using an entity called PLives.

But this will obviously cause problem because the engine will try spawning a player if its lives is geater than zero.

Not sure why it worked before, maybe the engine neglected that before.

Code: [Select]

name PLives
health 1
mp 1
type item
subject_to_gravity 0


anim idle
@script
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int Life = getentityproperty(self,"health");
    int MP = getentityproperty(self,"mp");

    if(frame==1){
      changeplayerproperty(0, "lives", Life);
      changeplayerproperty(0, "credits", MP);
      changeplayerproperty(1, "lives", Life);
      changeplayerproperty(1, "credits", MP);

      killentity(self); //Suicide!
    }
@end_script
loop 1
delay 5
offset 1 1
frame data/chars/misc/empty.gif
frame data/chars/misc/empty.gif

Easy to fix this though:

Code: [Select]

@script
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int Life = getentityproperty(self,"health");
    int MP = getentityproperty(self,"mp");
    int i;

    if(frame==1){
      for(i=0; i<2; i++)
      {
          if(getplayerproperty(i, "name")!="")
          {
              changeplayerproperty(i, "lives", Life);
              changeplayerproperty(i, "credits", MP);
          }
      }
      killentity(self); //Suicide!
    }
@end_script



[Bloodbane]

 Ah, so it was my script which caused it  .
 Thanks for the fix! I think I know why I have similar bug in Contra mod.

[utunnels]

Never mind.
I fixed the debug message though, it shouldn't be something like '˜¹^', it should be ''.
