Bug: Unable to load pak128 Britain/Sweden. Crash during load.

[DrSuperGood]

Updated to nightly update using the tool. Choose pak128 Britain. Simutrans Extended crashes during the pakset load.

This applies to both pak128 Britain and Sweden. Same error during pakset loading. I tried re-downloading pak128 Britain and it did not help, still crashes with same error.

This does not apply to pak256 Japan. That loads perfectly and gets to the main menu.

The pak file version that the reader can read and the version generated by makeobj seem to be different, but this did not happen with my own build. Where is this difference... 

EDIT: I am currently investigating Vehicle reader. I may not have modified the version correctly

I'm getting the same error. The nightly updater did download a lot of pak files which hadn't been changed for 2 years on Github, so perhaps something went wrong during (re)compilation?

update:

The logfile isn't exactly informative either.

This was caused by a compile error on Linux in the main executable, meaning that only the earlier version of the executable was available. Because makeobj had changed and because makeobj was not affected by this error, the pakset version was ahead of the code version and would thus not open.

I have now applied a fix to that prepared by Freddy and am running an emergency re-compile on the server, so the updated version should be available in a few minutes.

[jamespetts]

The recompile has now been completed, so downloads from the server should now work.

Now, it works fine, thank you again James!
