How do I fix a broken savegame?

[Falstaff]

Is there any tool or utility that can check a savegame? Me and a friend played a multiplayer game, and the game crashed, and now it won't load again, but I can't figure out what's wrong.

Last entries in the history.txt file are:

name = "April 14, 1523 : Frederik I rose to the throne in Denmark."
name = "April 16, 1523 : Helvetia entered a Military Alliance with France, Brittany and Genoa."
name = "April 16, 1523 : Helvetia joined the war on the same side as France, Genoa and Brittany in their war against "
name = "Modena, Tuscany and Venice."
name = "April 16, 1523 : Helvetia broke the Royal Marriage she had with Venice."

EDIT: Btw. we used Kasperus map modification, which I suppose is the cause for this, but why?

There was probably some province ID mixup along the way. I think Kasperus is also playing around with tags and events, so there can be various factors. You should PM him or post to his thread.

Thanks. I PM'ed him.

Please note that AoD is not my work but Ryo's and I am not able in any way to give support to that (savegame corruption problems are typically related to scenariofiles). But your problem I incidentally know (since I follow the mp threads on that anyway ) and the whereabouts and (possibly) fix to it has been mentionned here:

I know it's not your work. I was just reaching for straws But that's great news. I'll try it out

 

[Falstaff]

Sadly. It didn't work. Seems like I have the same error as ForzaA in that thread you linked to.

Have you opened the savefile and looked for numbers in scientific notation ? I'm not sure what it looks like, haven't had the problem for a long time, but I seem to remember they contain the symbol '#'. If you find these numbers, replace them with a meaningful value. They usually appear in a list of statistic data (like monthly income), so it won't change the game at all.
Just a guess, though...

Thank you for your feedback, Uggh, but there is no # characters in the savegame. If you can think of others, I could search for those. I do think, however, that it is some incongruence between province ids and scenario ids.

Possibly something like -1.E01, but I really don't think so, since it was easy to do a search in the file, which wouldn't have been the case with 'E'.
Sorry, no more ideas at the moment.

Ok, thx. We started over now with a new version of the mod, and it's going splendid, so no worries

 

[Falstaff]

Dammit. The new version also produces corrupt savegames.

I think that corrupt savegames couse of duplicate city that own by one nation. this happen to 1520s of AGCEEP long ago.

Yes. It was 2 cities. In province 496.
