[BUG] (1.15) Trader not moving (with save)

MartinSGill · Post by **MartinSGill** » Thu, 21. Nov 13, 09:11

Loaded my save-game after the 1.15 patch.

My trade ship is still just sitting there, with 3 orders queued and not moving or accepting new orders.

Save available:

U can "fix" this:

- creat a backup save
- open your savegame, e.g with the windows editor
- search for "shopping"

Code: Select all

<trade>
<shopping>
<trade id="[0xbed]" seller="[0xc6c6]" ware="scanningarray" price="7971" amount="530" min="530"/>
<trade id="[0xbee]" buyer="[0xa1a3]" ware="scanningarray" price="14957" amount="563" min="563"/>
<trade id="[0xbef]" buyer="[0xa706]" ware="scanningarray" price="12009" amount="530" min="530"/>
</shopping>
</trade>

- delete the stuff between <shopping>

Code: Select all

<trade>
<shopping>
</shopping>
</trade>

- load your modified savegame

And if that doesn't work, it may be because of this: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=352567
Trader ships don't go to the dock if the dock is waiting for another ship. Even if this ship never comes, apparently.

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.

I know I can edit the save game, the truth though is that I refuse to do so because I shouldn't have to.

Eventually I'll either get off my high-horse and edit the file, or uninstall rebirth. Until then I'll give egosoft the chance to fix it; and I'll help them by providing my bugged save-game.

I'll bookmark you replies for future-reference, thanks.
