Gonna do a DB clean in a few mins. Be down around 10 mins mb.
EDIT: Was down for about 10 mins. Couldnt use the eddbedit.exe. It gave me a virtual memory error. I need to have Dave walk me thru it. So I used the OP cleaner which I think is Darkelfs. Filesize was dropped to 1 MB. All is happy in Dland. 2283.189
Here Diz, rewrote the "typical use" cycle:
WALKTHROUGH:(1) Create an editing folder
(2) Copy EDDBEDIT, shiplist.txt, ftrlist.txt, Sfc2Spd.sds, camp.info, db.info, version.info to that folder
(3) Create a backup folder
(4) Copy Sfc2Spd.sds, camp.info, db.info, version.info to that folder,
just in case the editor blows something up
Now I make three passes through the editor:
(5) First pass, cleaning
(a) Double-click the editor
(b) Specify Sfc2Spd.sds as the input file name
(c) Answer Y or N to the two questions about single-player and OP/not
(d) Select C for clean
(e) Enter tmp.sds as the name of the new, cleaned DB
(6) Second pass, editing (if any)
(a) Double-click the editor
(b) Specify tmp.sds as the input file name
(c) Answer Y or N to the two questions about single-player and OP/not
(d) Select E for edit
(e) Enter Sfc2Spd.sds as the name of the new, cleaned DB
(f) Make any editing changes desired (see guidelines below)
If you don't need to do any edits, then skip step 6 and just rename tmp.sds to Sfc2Spd.sds.(7) Third pass, reporting
(a) Double-click the editor
(b) Specify Sfc2Spd.sds as the input file name
(c) Answer Y or N to the two questions about single-player and OP/not
(d) Select R for report
(e) Enter report.txt as the name of the text report file
(8 ) Copy Sfc2Spd.sds back to the appropriate db/saves file to replace the old one
(9) Fire up the game/server and cross your fingers
If it blows up in that cycle somewhere, let me know what step you were in and send me a copy of the .sds and .info files and I'll see if there are more bugs dwelling in the editor itself.
thanks!
