If so, it should be possible to load the game with a modified build14, where the legacy ware type lists [http://widelands.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/widelands/trunk/src/legacy.cc?view=markup] are ordered like they were when the game was saved. The lists are ordered like in build13, so that savegames from that can be loaded in build14. (Since svn:r4343, the ware types are saved by their name, so it does not matter if they are reordered in the tribes in the future.) Top Quote

In that case it is probably not worth to use old versions, but rather start a new game with build14 Best regards, Ingo Top Quote

If you would be able to load the old game with the modified build14 and then save it, it will be in the new format. Then it could be loaded with unmodified build14. Top Quote

Maybe it is because the game was created under svn3176 build, which had already one more ware added? Nevertheless many thanks - it was worth a try, Ingo Edited: 2009-10-31, 22:05 Top Quote
