Evening All,

Congrats AtomicTorch.  My son and I are really enjoying this game, and hope to recruit my LAN buddies to it.

Love the content in v1.4, but I started our characters on our server on v1.3.    The server patched to v1.4 barfs when trying to load the world state from v1.3 with "load 0" at the console, throwing an exception and errors about the <other> tag in its XML.   

The server ran fine when initially installed.  When the clients patched via Steam to 1.4, everything was still peachy.  I never patched the Server, so well done on the client/server backwards compatibility. 

Is there a good process for migrating characters from 1.3 to 1.4?

I've tried:
+ Making a backup of the Saves_Multiplayer Folder.
+ Patched server by copying core.pak from VoidExpanse/Core to VoidExpanse/Server (where I run the Server app from).

Restoring the core file to v1.3 loads the saves as normal.

Please tell me there's a way to migrate characters.  :)    Even if its hacking XML.   

My 8-year old is counting on me (and you, via proxy.)   ;>   Thanks much for the advice!   And if you need help with documentation, I'd love to contribute.

Cheers,
Emiraven
