spring does not sync anymore

Post by knorke »

just installed newest engine version (0.81.1.3)
and did this: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... 2&start=20
to point spring to the maps/mods folders of the old install

F:\Spiele\Spring_81 <- newest version
F:\Spiele\Spring <- old spring (80.5.2), holds all my mods and maps

springlobby is v0.63 which is up to date right now.

when i am in a battleroom, it shows me as unsynced.
if the game is forcestarted i get this:

but in gamelist everything looks ok before joining:

after joining it shows unsynced. but only for that battle.

after joining and failing to sync in the battleroom, it will show as unsynced:

wtf? those battles all host the same mod!

with xta I am 100% sure that map+mod are ok because I played them in old version.
with ca i am not quite sure if the downloader messed up anything.

infolog.txt of trying to play ca: http://pastebin.org/90396
strangely it wrote the infolog.txt in F:\Spiele\Spring , the old spring folder but as you can see Spring 0.81.1.3 (0.81.1.3-0-g725801c{@}-cmake-mingw32)
the correct .exe was launched.

unitsync.log of same game: http://pastebin.org/90397
was created in F:\Spiele\Spring_81 which is correct

hosting my own battle in sl works for singleplayer works.

Any ideas?
I already restarted/rejoined multiple times, redownloading does not help: the files are the same.

this is on windows xp.
hm, screenshots get resized, well do rightclick, show image to read the text if its crumbled.

yes that is what he means, but it will not solve your problem.
the problem you see there, is cause your 0.81 spring now uses the base files of your 0.80 spring installation -> unsynced in lobby.
what you should do:
move your maps and mods to a common data dir. best is, using one that spring uses by default, like My Documents/My Games/Spring/maps.
never use one installation as the data-dir of an other installation (revert what you did there).
