Yipe after 15 new versions working , now I can't get version 16 to run

[LIneAxe]

Well, I have version :15 on my route that works , and all it's sessions work , no problem. I have used version control up to :15 and it gave no problems. Now when I go into Content creator and try to get a new version, :16 , the new route won't show up and all the sessions are lost. This problem never happenned up to this point and I don't want it to start up now. Anyone have an idea what I can look for so I can get the new version of my route to work ??

?? Help ??

OK - that's confusing.

If I read it right you were up to the 15th revision of a successful session and now you've lost the lot, route and session(s)?

The reference to Content Creator confuses me - no need for Content Creator to create or edit sessions, it's all done in Surveyor. If you were in CC chances are the kuids are mucked up and the session can no longer find the map (or vise-versa).

Sessions should be created/edited from Start > Routes > Sessions > Create (or Edit) Session.

Once you have a route and session working as you want NEVER use Save or AutoSave, always use Save AS that way you always have the last version sitting safe on disk if it all fries up....

Good advice on the backups, I do it that way as well . Well, all sessions were originally created using Start > Routes > Sessions > Create (or Edit) Session. Now, when you want to make modifications to the route, and still have one on DLS that you can play,you need to Create a new version. This starts the version control . That is done in Content creator and it appends the :1 :2 :3 ,etc to the version. This stops you from having to upload many different assets that are just modified copies of say a route or a session. I did it without having created new versions, and the amount of files that end up on DLS is too many. Now with version control (done in CC) , you just send it to DLS and it overwrites the older asset , and it keeps your asset count down . This was all working fine up until I got :15 the 15th version upgraded to :16 and then , wham , no name shows up when I launch game and look under routes. All very confusing ,etc... I can delete the :16 version , and go back to the version :15 that is on DLS and still play online and the single player games as well but I can't go up to version :16 and make any more modifications to the route .

Make the revised session as an edit, then before uploading manually edit the kuid to a revision of the original. You can't edit a kuid in CM, but Ctrl+E and drag the session folder to the desktop. Edit the kuid on the desktop, then import it as new content. You now have a revised session ready to upload and all untouched by CCP's grubby little mits!

I think I got what you are saying. Save the route or session as a different route /session which is an editable one. Then when you want to upload your revised route/session , you can change the kuid to match your original route or session. If I do that and try to run game at this point , the route will tell me that it has been locally modified and it needs to get the original one from DLS ( :15) . So, do I go into CCP first and try to upload it as the original route already sitting on DLS ? 15) ... Will this overwrite the one on DLS ? Or am I getting the right idea ...Anyhow, I am beginning to think CCP has alot to do with why I can't see my latest revision when I launch the game .
