I have a savegame that's become corrupt. I'm using patch 2.0 rev 1 under Win XP SP2.
It has some bits of track in it that I can't remove - The competitor has gone bankrupt and removed most of the track but there are a few bits, e.g. bridges over my track, that didn't get deleted, and now form stuff that is just in the way.
This is where I explain how silly I have been...
I thought I might be able to fix this by running it through sv1fix. So, I did. That errored. So, I went to the site and discovered and downloaded a more modern version of sv1fix. That too errored. Of course, doing that twice means I also lost the TRP02.bak file. Doh! Trying to load my game again, I now get:
Whenever I try to load the game, TTD just crashes. No error, nothing, it just exits. Loading the game in TTDLX Editor gives the error message of "Unexpected Extended Vehicle Array Size."
Running it through sv1codec does nothing - it tells me the checksums are correct, turns it into a .big file fine, but errors with "unknown data at end of file" when trying to recompress.
The savegame can be downloaded from: http://www.daftmoo.co.uk/temp/trp02.zip
If someone who understands the file structure etc could have a look for me and see if it's retrievable, I'd be very very grateful, and I promise not to be so silly again!
Many thanks in advance!
