Old Levels/Replays Not Working

ssor63 · Post by **ssor63** » 3 Apr 2005, 03:04

I've got a big problem. A long while ago, my computer died. Since then I've gotten a new computer, but just recently have I burned all of my old Elma stuff off of the old computer.
So tonight, I put it all back on my current computer, expecting to be able to play all my old levels and watch my old replays, but nope. I get an internal error anytime I try to play an old level, and I get "Recorded file version is too old!" when I try to watch an old replay.
Any suggestions?

See if you have write-protect on, if so, turn it off.

If by write-protect, you mean read-only, then no, it isn't on. If you're talking about something else though, I must be unaware. Any clarifications or other suggestions?

could it be that you upgraded elma? version 1 recs dont work in 1.1 do they? WRANG

ssor63 · Post by **ssor63** » 3 Apr 2005, 22:28

I don't think that's it. I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling Elma, so I could use version 1.0 but that didn't fix anything.
This is becoming very annoying. I didn't realize files could expire. There must be a way to fix this! I've got all my old levels (that I made) riding on this as well as some awesome replays.

so what have you tried doing to solve your problem?

you could re-install elma. send your levels to other ppl for them to try. they could then save level as and then send back to you. also let someone else try your old recs. someone else could even be yourself at another computer...

I already tried reinstalling Elma, that didn't work. I just tried your advice on sending the levels/replays to someone, but that didn't work either. They got the same errors. Is there no hope?

that error occures, when you drive some rec and afterwards edit the level

ssor63 · Post by **ssor63** » 7 Apr 2005, 19:42

I understand that, but that isn't the case here. These levels haven't been modified, they've been sitting on my old computer right along with the replays.

Any other suggestions?

I really have no idea, maybe you could let us check?

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 10 Apr 2005, 10:58

maybe the files are damaged..

ssor63 · Post by **ssor63** » 14 Apr 2005, 02:42

Alright, mind if I send my own levels to one of you guys? Those are the levels that I really want to get working.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 14 Apr 2005, 15:59

Maybe upload the levels in a zip file?

ssor63 · Post by **ssor63** » 17 Apr 2005, 02:13

BarTek, I don't see how downloading Elma again could help. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it.
Could I try emailing some levels/replays to one of you guys?

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 17 Apr 2005, 10:52

Upload them (In a zip/rar) to http://kurki.buildtolearn.net/upload/

ssor63 · Post by **ssor63** » 17 Apr 2005, 17:54

OK, I've uploaded them.

So, any new ideas?

Those levs doesn't work on me (even ALE didn't open them):

Code: Select all

<<message.inf accessed>>
topol::topol( char* filenev )-ben nem stimmel eleje!

And the recs:

Code: Select all

Recorded file version is too old!
Wheely2.REC

Post by **SveinR** » 19 Apr 2005, 18:54

Your recs and levs have probably just been corrupted somehow. Happened to me some times before by the use of some upload sites. Guess it can happen in other circumstances as well.

ssor63 · Post by **ssor63** » 19 Apr 2005, 19:01

That is extremely disappointing. Thanks for the help, though.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 19 Apr 2005, 19:19

There's no other thing left then start all over again. Too bad.

I can't watch the Quick Round rec by Zweq, which was published recently. "Internal Error"..

heh, maybe he went too fast ...

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 19 Apr 2005, 23:31

LOL, no wonder the levs aren't working when you have zipped them down to oblivion. Sure, .levs and .recs are "zip-friendly", but 99% (and then some) compression on all of them?

Re-upload them in a zip-file with more believable compression and it might work better.

Well zworqy I don't think it matters since they didn't work on his computer in the first place.
