Hell no! That is a post of mine!

Yeah, the way this forum works is a pain in theā¦

The problem of our friend, in case you imply it shouldnāt be the cause of any worry, is that this window is actually just a sample. You have hundreds (thousands??) other coming with different numbers and the same face. Application killing is the key for serenity of mind. Not really for conversion though. Thatās where moving korea.files fixed it for me.

Its all about how much information I can read from posts.
When you are talking about a saveX.cam file, sure a slightly different matter. But the same answer applies. Do NOT use import/export when converting a saveX file. It makes no sense.Btw, the saveX files for 4.36 are already converted, you donāt need to do thisā¦ Oh waitā¦ I have to guess you are not talking about KTO

Not about KTO. As for my computer, all I can tell you is, youāre talking now to an expert at converting. For my computer, once again. How lucky you are to have yours
EDIT: and yes, actually, about KTO too, just to make sure I had the same troubles. I had.
-
@Falcas at a point i get an option of continuing or quitting. I can never get to a save as selection while trying to convert.
-
If you get these messages so muchā¦ well than you should really look at the mission itself before you start converting. And/or the 4.35 install the mission is belonging to.
One of the simple mistakes I hear about, is that mission files get copied over from 4.35 to 4.36 and then a convert is being tried.
Do NOT do this!!! Keep your 4.35 missions in your 4.35 install.Yeah I understand it might be frustrating if you run into something like this. However, there is not much I can tell you what to do as these kind of messages donāt pop up for me when I do a conversion.

Lucky you are. For me, I moved the idx and the wch file, and it works now like a charm. I would have been stupid not to.

@LorikEolmin
I would be the last person to say it stupidā¦ if it works, it canāt be (that) stupidPutting those files into the 4.36 install should really not matter.
But at least it will give me an idea to check some part of the code.

Stbyā¦Very glad if I help. Also, because I can swear itās in the airā¦ we do have the same version of MC, 100%, right? January, 667?
I could make a video of what happens when I convert the academic way (the non-working), if I got time this week-end.

@LorikEolmin Currently checking the WDP S-J save. Someone asked about that

And I know we both love this person :D.
And just a little clue coming from someone elseās brains: wouldnāt MC default to TvT database? And removing TvT would then have an effect? Because, guess whatā¦
EDIT: this is not about converting, more general use with saves.
-
@LorikEolmin
MC defaults to what you have used the last time.
What you can do is check your theate.lst file.
Internally this file got a bit messed up and KTO got kicked from the first line. TvT should always below the normal KTO.
This was already fixed internally, but I have no clue what the status is in the released 4.36 version -
@Falcas Transmitting.
EDIT: yeah transmitting and I cannot check right now, but it rings a serious bell, I wouldnāt be surprised to see TvT first line when I get home.
EDIT2: for me at least, itās not above KTO.
-
Check what you are doingā¦ you are NOT following the steps correctly.
At the top of MC you can see MC is pointing to the KTO database.
You are trying to convert a mission from 4.35 which has Balkans as active theater. See step 3. This is where you can also see the output is going to 4.36 KTOā¦No wonder you are getting issues.
Steps need to be followed exactly else it doesnāt work
-
Could you do a dummy check on my procedure as well, if you see something fishy:
The exception I get is shown as well.
The TE file being used is here:

@Logic try putting the file you want to convert in the same folder. I had to copy a TE I have been trying to convert from itās orginal folder into the 4.36 install location before it worked for me. Trying to go from the 4.35 install location to the 4.36 install location gave me the issues you are having.
-
Well noā¦
Leave 35 files in 35 installation and when the conversion is over, point to the right 36 folder ā¦
The conversion for my theaters was straight forward. The only problem was doing the changes in database to match 4.36 changes (but thatās more for theater creators to worry about it)
-
Would someone who has had success at an MC conversion of 4.35 to 4.36 .tac files be kind enough to share with me the resulting contents of your āMC/Conv/Koreaā directory?
Iāve tried everything in this thread, and still no joyā¦
I just get a succession of these error dialogs, then the dreaded Exception:
Thanks much, Sloth
