How to make your 0.23 career save to work with 0.23.5

[Maxibon]

Is there a way to achieve this with a Sandbox save instead of a Career save?

Yep, redownload the update if it isn't working for you, this was fixed.

First of all: if you don't have a backup and already loaded your old save - you can't save it (no pun intended). You might want to try to edit quicksave, though.

Step 1: Load 0.23.5, create a new career game, exit game.

Step 2: Locate your backed up persistent.sfs, open it with notepad. Find string "version = 0.23.0", change it to "version = 0.23.5" (there is two instances of it)

Step 3: Locate your new career save persistent.sfs, open it with notepad, find this text:

SCENARIO
	{
		name = ScenarioDiscoverableObjects
		scene = 7, 8, 5
		 = 832827658
		sizeCurve
		{
			key = 0 0 1.5 1.5
			key = 0.3 0.45 0.875 0.875
			key = 0.7 0.55 0.875 0.875
			key = 1 1 1.5 1.5
		}
	}
	SCENARIO
	{
		name = ProgressTracking
		scene = 7, 8, 5
		Progress
		{
		}
	}

Copy-paste it into your career save, place it right before these lines:

Hello

this is not very clear: I understood I have to the strings "version = 0.23.0" to "version = 0.23.5" on my backup Save>persistent.sfs. What about my backup Save>quicksave.sfs ?

Then, do you mean you copy paste these lines from you new career save >persistent.sfs to your 0.23 backup career> quicksave.sfs or to your 0.23 backup career>persistent.sfs

In my save folder I have 2 files: persistent.sfs and quick save.sfs.

Do i need to modify both ? I f I modify one, what do I do with the other ?

And what about these line at the end just before "ROSTER" ? They are not on the 0.23 persistent.sfs and quicksave.sfs

}

DISCOVERY

{

state = 1

lastObservedTime = 0.02

lifetime = 1717762.28027344

refTime = 1728000

size = 2

}

FLIGHTPLAN

{

}

CTRLSTATE

{

If we change our backup in "version = 0.23.5, don't we have to copy those lines too?

Actually after the hotfix by Squad everything should work just fine, does it not?

[gilflo]

Not for me. Whatever I did with the persistent.sfs, after having copy paste my backup folder subassemblies, and SPH and VAB with their ship, I can't see any subassembly nor any ship in 0.23.5

I only see my science, tech, and ship that are in space, not those I can load in the VAB

Persistent.sfs and quicksave.sfs are essentially the same - but you should copy from new persistent to old persistent, or from new persistent(!) to old quicksave, then rename old quicksave to persistent.sfs. DO NOT use new quicksave to get needed strings - it can have some undesired consenquences.

Looks like you're trying to copy lines not from the fresh save, but from a save with some progress. You shouldn't do that; create a new career and exit immediately after KSC scene loaded. Then use that career's persistent.sfs to get strings above.

DISCOVERY lines are part of the new tracking system. You shouldn't copy them - looks like the game would write it automatically and without any problem.

I'm not sure why your ships don't load, are you sure you've copied the right folders (you should copy Ships and Subassemblies from your save folder, not from KSP folder)

[gilflo]

Thank's, that's what I did with the persistent.sfs and now it works.

I really copy paste Ships and subassemblies from my save folder: KSP 0.23>saves>career>Ships and same for subassemblies, but I cab't see them.

Hmm, then I don't know. Any mod that can interfere?

Also, try to create something, save it, then reload the game.
