[735]Auto-save doesn't recognize earlier builds, corrupts saves and quest

4 replies · 1,364 views · Started 16 February 2008

Pretty much what the title says: If you are working with a quest file from an earlier build, the timed save doesn't recognize this, and goes along with its business. Then, it corrupts both the backup file's header and quest, where it doesn't work with the original build it was created.

.qst file. Created in 704, but now only works in 735.

.qt file. If you can, try to fix the header where it can be read in 735. There's a few custom Subscreen elements and palettes that I'd like to be saved...

.qsts always get upgraded to the latest build when saved; there's no sane way to support downgrading quests to arbitrary old builds.

The .qt files being corrupt, on the other hand, is a bug, and fixed in the next build.

That's wonderful. Can the .qt file still be saved, though? I'll try to recreate the border again if you can't...
