cannot import cmpgn

[Dave Griffin]

Greetings,

Finally upgraded to mote 1.16, and realised throughout all our use of Mote - which hasn't been for almost a year due to running games that didnt need it - it's mostly been my friend running the game and nearly all of my maps are still in the old MapTools cmpgn format.

I cannot open any of them in Mote, and what is worse, some of my .mfwk mote files wont open either... I'm down to a single map that will open... which is a bit sad (I'm setting up Mote on a machine for a friend to run games for his kids, and thought I'd give him some of my old maps as examples).

Is there a known import issue at all? Attached is one file that I cannot open, but could some time back.

Cheers

Dave

sorry, should have confirmed - nuked old install, downloaded 1.16 installer and ran it, tried to 'open' various maptool campaign files and mote frameworks. The campaign files prompted for a new campaign name, and then mote flashed, and returned to the default start position - a random blank map.

Thanks for the file Dave. Yes there were some changes to the save file model, though it was to address changes in MT that were reported to us. We'll look into this ASAP. Do furnish the others that won't open, so we can clear out all issues. If all goes well, we'll issue an update within 48 hours. 

BTW, did you do these tests using the latest version (1.16.3)?

ok, this was installed tonight, but update now says 1.16.3 - I've updated and it's just the 'Brisingamen' map that's not loading now!

LOL, progress? Fixed the issue you reported BTW. unbeknownst to us, the MT code sorted the list of file patches that are applied to a campaign when it's loaded. This place patches versioned above 1.9, ahead of 1.3, because versions were mapped to Strings and not numbers. So the latest fixes got applied first, missing what they were supposed to fix. An update will be out within the time I stated.

Thanks!

1.16.4 is out and the campaign you shared here, loaded just fine :)
