Hi,
i have an existing PakBritain Experimental 10.27 game, which was started back in April using my own makeobj compile of PakBritain Experimental 0.9.0 from James' Github repository. FWIW the PC is running Win 7.
The game is going nicely, but with all the improvements in Simutrans Experimental 11.10, I decided to transition to the new version.
Using the combined download of STE 11.10 & PBE 0.9.0 releases [which is probably not the same as the April down load although nominally the same version number], installed in a new directory tree, I loaded the latest savegame.
Oh dear - the trains are mostly unable to find routes. Investigating, new way images seem to have loaded very nicely [more pretty bridges!], but the data for ways and vehicles seem to be rather confused. The tracks are showing axle loads of the previous version's weight limit. Bridges seem fine. And the trains are showing an axle load of the vehicle's previous total weight, when viewed in the details dialogs. In the depots, the new vehicles are offered, but there seems to be some difficulty with the vehicles that are in service.
Does anyone have a way to ensure that the upgraded vehicle parameters are picked up when the savegame loads? I really would like to take advantage of the improvements (especially items like the premature reservation of track when reversing)
I do recognise that this could equally be posted in the STE program forum, but I'm sure those in the know read both! [ Mods: Please move it across if you prefer ]
Thanks
merry.
