Hmm.. I didn't notice anything, but it looks like Cutlass already sent 600AD to Arwon.
620 AD moving on
IALS_#1_AD-0600_to_Arwon.CivBeyondSwordSave
I suspect this is the source of the problem.Replayed and resent to Arwon because the file I sent him didn't work.
620 AD moving on
I suspect this is the source of the problem.
Here's what I think will get the save back on track:
1. Scienidez checks his ~/saves/pbem/IALS_#1/ folder to make sure that the most recent file is IALS_#1_AD-0620_to_Cutlass.CivBeyondSwordSave
2. If it's NOT, then Scienidez replays the save IALS_#1_AD-620_to_Scienidez.CivBeyondSwordSave and takes care to hit enter at the end (not hitting enter is the most frequent causes of my save-forwarding errors )
3. If it IS, then Scienidez attaches the save named IALS_#1_AD-0620_to_Cutlass.CivBeyondSwordSave to the email to Cutlass.
4. Cutlass deletes all saves in the ~/saves/PBEM folder from the years 6xx; as well as all saves in the ~/saves/PBEM/IALS_#1 folder from the years 6xx.
5. Cutlass then downloads the save Scienidez sends him - this will be safe to do since the old ones are deleted. No overwrite errors from now on.
6. Cutlass then plays that save, and emails it on as usual.
Sorry if this post is coming across as condescending or explainlikeimfive - I really don't intend that. It's just that I haveextensivesome experience unravelling issues caused by inadvertently overwriting save files. I now have things set up so that I can't download a save of the same filename as a previous save - this way I catch the issue immediately.
Please don't ask me what I did to set up that folder filter - it was years ago.
Since neither bathsheba, you, Arwon nor Atticus have played the 620 CE save yet, the easiest is in fact to just play that one: No saves that need to be deleted, and no problems.Why don't we simplify, Cheetah can play 600 again, and we'll just go on from there. Seems the simplest way to recover from the problem.
