Hey guys. I'm trying to get the world map into Freeciv. ave moved no files around and here is my shortcut string....

C:\desktop\freeciv\freeciv-1.13.0\civserver.exe" -f earth-160x90-v2.sav

If you look at the output to the console you see

./ser -f data/scenario/earth-160x90-v2.sav
This is the server for Freeciv version 1.14.1-devel
You can learn a lot about Freeciv at http://www.freeciv.org/
Loading saved game: data/scenario/earth-160x90-v2.sav...
0: Savegame too old, at least version 1.9.0 required.


So I guess the earth scenario shipped is simply not up to date.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Yes. Perhaps you could get it to work by loading it into and old version of civworld (the one for 1.12.0 should work) and then saving it again. I know 1.12.0 would load it, and it would then be saved in 1.12.0 format.

The savefile is actually fine. It is just the version number which is outdated. Edit the file and replace the version string with

version=10900

and it will work fine. Thanks for finding this, it will be fixed in next version.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

The client cannot load maps, only the server can. However, the windows client is capable of launching a server with a map. Other users should be able to connect to you at your IP address to join this game.

Try running the server from the command prompt (ie run "command"), then you'll see what the server says.

FreeCiv's maps are proper rectangles rotated by pi/4 radians.

But only if using an isometric tileset.

For non isometric tilesets, the maps are just plain rectangles - usually with left/right (east/west) looping.
