Mod Releases • Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.9.0]

Whatever they were, they exist in the 2.9.0 advtrains_interlocking, advtrains_line_automation and advtrains_luaautomation locale folders, but not the 2.8.3 ones. Their file type is "Backup file" and MIME type is "application/x-trash". The icons look like holographic/ghost text file icons.

Hm, these are the backup files that msgmerge (from the update_translations script) leaves behind, i forgot to clean them. But I don't think they cause the issues you see.

It looks to me like it fails to save the save files. then next time it starts up again it restores the last known state. because advtrains also keeps a storage of all tracks in the world (the nodedb) it also restores these.

It's curious that it works in 2.8.3, because there were no changes at all to the save format and/or the saving code. Are there any error messages in the 2.9.0 related to saving? I take it the "Saved advtrains save files, took 23ms" line does NOT appear in 2.9.0?

It does not, yes. I can't see any error messages, the only saving-related thing I found was loading the save files.
