Broken savegame - referencing invalid vehicle

[joostvdl]

Hi,
One of my savegames is broken. openttd refuses the load it and says there is a reference to an invalid vehicle.
The last modification that I made was with openttd 1.2.1

Can anyone help me to solve this issue with this savegame?
I also would like to know how to prevent this from happening. Would it be useful to replace all vehicles?

Thanks
Joost

I also would like to know how to prevent this from happening.

Don't change GRFs in a running game?

(If that's what you did, anyway.)

If I open your 2081 save game and fast forward it to 2083 I don't run into any issues. So the question here is, what did you do/change between the two save games?

[joostvdl]

I cloned one of the trains few times, and I sold a train. I sold the engine first, after that I sold the wagons.
I can´t remember if it was one of the new trains or an old one.
I modified some of the stations. Also I used combo-signals (electric) for the first time.

I haven't changed any GRF's

Hope you can help.

Here's your savegame again. Somewhat fixed.
Please check whether there is something wrong with trains 4, 6, 10, 13, 22 or 24. Esp. wrt. their orders.

Did you use shared orders at any point?

Edit: The first fix was not quite correct. Uploaded a new fixed savegame.

[frosch]

Turns out the savegame is still corrupt.

Do you still have a savegame from before you switched from 0.6 to 1.2.1?
The game was either broken in that savegame conversion, or it was already broken before due to a bug fixed 5 years ago

Hi frosch,

Thanks for the repair. I was able to open the savegame, and I'll check the trains you mentioned.
If I want to fix the problems, can't I just delete the trains and make new ones with new orders?

I´m not familiar with shared orders, so I haven't used them unless by accident
The attached savegame is the only savegame that I have prior to 1.2.1

The savegame was a created a long time ago with the original TTD

Thanks
Joost

Even that 0.6 savegame is already broken.

If you continue to play the "somewhat fixed" game, make sure to never sell or crash any vehicles. Or the problem will appear again. (unless you sell all vehicles)

[joostvdl]

I sold all vehicles, and that solved the issue for me.
