Hello,

i ask for Help.

I updated from v1.12 to v1.13 using the tdm_installer.

After the update, however, I can't load any save game, regardless of the mission.

I always get the message that the save game cannot be loaded due to a different version number. The only option is to restart the mission from the beginning.

The save games are build 10651, and the update is build 10946.

You can go to the tdm_installer.exe again and select "Get custom version" and select "release212" to roll back to 2.12.
Your savegames you made in 2.12. should work again.
You could even install tdm 2.13 in a new directory to download and play missions that require 2.13.

Save games are not backwards-compatible, unfortunately. We usually suggest finishing missions you've started before upgrading to the next version.

My missions:      Stand-alone                                                  Duncan Lynch series           Collabs                             

                                 Down and Out on Newford Road          the Factory Heist                  A Collector's Errand (with Bikerdude)

                           The Wizard's Treasure                          A House Call

                                                                                           The House of deLisle

I already made a Backup of the Full 2.12 Folder, so i can still play them on this Installation. 

The possibility that the tdm_installer is used as an update rather than for a clean install is certainly to be expected; this possibility is even mentioned during the installation.

So I would like to suggest that the fact that existing FM saves cannot be used in this case should be pointed out, so that the installer can decide accordingly instead of being surprised.

Best regards

      So on a regular basis I try to start building something in Darkradiant but very quickly I loose interest and give up.
      I tend to
      create a room, position an ai in it (or first ai, then room, probably better) put a light in it Put some stuff in it test the room in tdm Now I had this new idea:
      Start of with a gigantic room. To skip the importance of sealing for the time being and to think broader than one room. Then just use ground without wall, just to visualise the structure of the level.  Then just use prefab walls and other elements (arches, etc.). Just building area's that aren't enclosed. I can always close them at a later point. Maybe this is all very logical from a mappers perspective, but tdm is the first game where I have done any kind of real mapping and I always stop at the start. It just takes too long to make something exciting.
      I want to build something at some point, because over time I accumulated lots of ideas.

      It would be nice to have a link to the forum thread of a mission in download section, rather than having to search for it manually, like on Thief Guild.

      Terribly difficult juggling map designing with work, but I'm still alive and chipping away at something very special. I'm actually making a collaboration of sorts with a friend, I make the map itself and he acts as my "Chief Scope Creep Consultant" that checks in every so often to make sure this project isn't getting out of hand. It's a good system!
