EDIT #3: Fixed! I think... I made NoCustomAssets=1 in the .ini file, as suggested on another BUFFY thread. Thanks to whoever wrote that. I haven't tried Map Finder again, but the normal loading works, so I'm assuming this was the only problem.
EDIT #2: I tried it with the autosave set both ways. Both times (even loading the autosaved game) yielded the same error message when trying to reload a game (after the program was restarted, that is; it seems to reload fine when I just exit to the in-game menu).
My BTS is version 3.19 (the latest patch, as far as I know).
EDIT: The problem below is
not specific to Map Finder. I gave up with the utility, and found that I get a load error with
any game file that I attempt to load
after having exited and restarted the game.
I'm going to try turning off the "autosave on game exit" option (or whatever it's called), no idea if that's related, but it's the only guess I have at the moment.
Re: Map Finder
My Map Finder finds map. It logs the files and saves them.
All is good up to that point, but when I try to load the game I get this:
So...
I have uploaded a new version of the Civ4_Map_Finder utility (V1.8)...
I downloaded and installed. Same result.
The ability to point to a Saves or Rules folder outside the default install path are not currently supported in BUFFY...
Oops. Okay, I uninstalled and forced a reinstall to go into c:\program files\Civ4_Map_Finder (previously, it was in My Documents\My Games\...)
So the saves/rules paths all go to the right place, I think. This is what my BUFFY MapFinder.ini file looks like:
# Enter the full path to the MapFinder directory. It must contain the "Rules" and "Saves" folders.
# Default: C:\Program Files\Civ4_Map_Finder
Path =C:\Program Files\Civ4_Map_Finder
Map Finder still
seems to work at first, but I still get the same error when I try to load a found map ("expected version 301 or lower").
Anybody got a clue?
Thanks,
Jason
