Any way to move old saves to 1.14?

edited 2014 Apr 21 in Technical Support
I got the itch to play some Doom 2 and when it was loaded up it mentioned that an update was available. After I finished my session I went to the home page and snagged 1.14, but when I reloaded the game all my saves no longer show up. The files are still there in the game dir, but since you guys switched to the new save format I've lost my progress. Is there any way to get the data from the old saves imported in? I'd already lost all my progress a year ago when I had to wipe my drive and forgot to backup my save files.

    All your old saves should have been imported automatically. There must be a bug somewhere... Which operating system are you on?

    DaniJ should be able to help you diagnose the issue.

    Have you moved your savegames some place other than the default folder? (i.e., you're specifying -savedir on the command line). Please post a copy of your doomsday.out log

    As skyjake says they should have been converted automatically, so clearly something is going wrong somewhere. Your savegames should still be present but for some reason they aren't being picked up.

    Running on Windows 8.1.

    The batch file I use to run Doom 2:

    "c:\Program Files (x86)\Doomsday\bin\doomsday.exe" -basedir "c:\Program Files (x86)\Doomsday" -sdlmixer -sfxchan 35 -fullscreen -texcomp -game doom2 -iwad "c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Doom 2\base\DOOM2.WAD"

    My save games are currently under:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Doom 2\savegame\doom2
    DoomSav0.dsg
    DoomSav9.dsg

    Upload isn't working for me, so here's the text of my doomsday.out:

    I can't see anything obviously wrong with your configuration and your log contains no clue as to why its not working. Which version of Doomsday are you upgrading from?

    Modern versions of Doomsday will automatically detect any IWADs you've bought through Steam, adding those paths with -iwad is unnecessary.

    Uploading doomsday.out is deliberately disabled. This is because attaching such logs as uploads only complicates matters by forcing everyone to download a text file that could have been inserted into the post directly, as you did ;)
  • MrPopoMrPopo
    Unfortunately, I'm not sure what version of Doomsday I was upgrading from. Looking at your releases in the News forum I believe it was either 1.11 or 1.12; it's more likely 1.12, but I don't know if I had also snagged one of the updated versions.
  • DaniJDaniJ
    Ah this looks like a relative path issue. Your savegames are in a folder relative to the SteamApps folder? Clearly something was going wrong in the older version as these are supposed to be in your user data folder.

    If you move the whole savegame folder from there into the correct location, the automatic savegame conversion should then work. As you're not using the frontend your default user data folder will be:
    C:\Users\Add Username Here\AppData\Local\Deng Team\Doomsday Engine\runtime
  • MrPopoMrPopo
    That got the saves converting properly. Thanks for the help!
  • jvidalwjvidalw
    FWIW, I experienced a similar issue. On my Laptop, I had two saved games, after updating to 1.14, both were converted to the new format, but only one was available, the other one wasn't.
    And, as you can see on my thread "doomsday 1.14 completely useless", on my Desktop PC, doomsday just hung when trying to convert the saqved games.
