Still playing 1.01 0_o...

[johnlgalt]

Right, so I downloaded the game a while back, I believe it was 0.98, then got 1.01 - and haven't looked back at the website. I just started playing again last week, after killing myself 3 times I finally got a character playing decently enough - I've learned how to back up my save file,s and I'm currently at around 9K points.

Now I have come to the website and saw that not only is 1.1 out but also a 1.2 alpha - well, being the sucker for pre-release software that I am, I downloaded both - but my save games will not load in either one.

I really do not want to lose this week's worth of playing and start all over *again*. Is there any way I can get my save games to work in 1.1 / 1.2a1? The error I get when trying to use the save games is

"Unable to load game

Unable to find type: 400a (missing mod?)"

But I've never modded the game ever. Not even run as debug....

Or is this one of those things where I'll need all the missing versions of the game in between 1.01 and the current 1.1 in order to make it work again?

UNIDs might be moved from versions, so I don't think 1.01 and 1.1 saves are all too compatible (to many things moved/added). I suggest either finishing 1.01 OR starting over in 1.1, but only start over if you've at least finished the game once

Never finished the game. Bummer. But I have a lot of experience with the lower levels so I think I might as well start all over. Sad, though, really. I happened upon some pretty good armor for the lower levels - Ceratops 1T quasi-armor - lvl IV, hp: 70 red star +15% rain +70% Orange star +20% sun +25% - 10 MW, regen @ 3.3 hp/sec (value 4500) and Segment of advanced plasteel armor (*4) Level VI - hp: 135, red star +615% rain +615% green star +65% orange star +65% that has kept me alive in the battlemaster trials as well as fighting all of the different enemies....

I'll keep the save games around just in case, though. Maybe I'll go back to 1.01 and keep playing, but I'm loving the look and feel and updates in 1.10

Thanks for that. I will.

Started a new game - and for the life of me the first two systems seem a ton easier than on 1.01 - but the third system is kicking my derriere (well, mainly b/c I killed way to many pirates and now they've sent a Kronosaurus after me 0_o....

hi johnlgalt,
welcome to Transcendence Forums

Avoid the Kronosaur and skip to the next system, you know, you can always go back and destroy it later if you feel like it

About the bug:
"0x0000400A" is itNeutroniumPlate in 1.01
and it's still there in 1.1 with the same UNID.
Not sure what's happening.

I've taken out 2 similar ships but that Kronosaurus is a beast lol.

I'm in Cygni now biding my time - I found one of the same pieces of armor I had in the previous save game, so, that's decent news. Plus, I'm for a Yoroi deflector as well as a turbo laser (I'm avoiding the omnidirectional for now -0 I want a bit more of a challenge).

Using debug mode, would I be able to remap a key? I want the "." remapped to down arrow - it makes it much easier to maneuver rather than having both up and down arrow increase thrust.

Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions. I'm making a bit more progress this time, albeit it's from many many hours of 'learning by doing something wrong and then filing it away for later' experience lol

Transcendence 1.1 creates a settings.xml and allows you to remap keys there.

Awesome. Thanks!
