Help! The game crashed on me yesterday (not the first time) and when I restarted it, my teleporter pads wouldn't work again. So I tried copying the telpstates.000 file from another recent save.

Well, the teleporter pads worked, but now the ENTIRE MAP is black again in Dark Forest, even though I've been through lots and lots of that area. Funny thing is, I had also uncovered most of the Dark Forest in the saved game that I took the telpstates.000 file from.

If I have to I will go back to that game, but man this is getting old. If there is anything that can be done, please tell me and I'll try it.

ADDED IN EDIT: Nevermind, I found other things wrong with that savegame. Apparently this latest crash completely corrupted that savegame and I have no choice but to start again from a previous save. This is a great game, but this is the last time for me. If it gets corrupted again I think I'm done. Perhaps I'm not meant to ever finish this game. So damn frustrating when it's such a great game.

Oh man, talk about FRUSTRATING. I was level 37, my last save game was 35, so not that long ago, BUT I had found the best armor I had ever found to date, and of course now, IT'S GONE because that game is corrupted and I hadn't found it yet in the old save.

Jeebus this game can try a man's patience.

ADDED IN EDIT: WOW, now I got everything back to normal in my latest save EXCEPT it won't activate any new teleporters and it shows one of them that I had activated as being unactivated. WTF??? I think all would be well if I could just fix the teleporter thing, especially if it's not going to let me activate new ones.

Yeah, I have all the scrolls (except the imp IIRC) and it won't activate the ones unactivated.

I'll look at that other thread and try that file if I can find a file in the thread. If not, I dunno, I hate to ask you again to take my save and repair it. It's not like this is an active game for which support can be expected. This game is over 10 years old. Anyway, I'll let you know what happens. If I can't find any other way to fix it and you are willing, perhaps I'll send you save again but in the meantime I'm gonna try everything I know to try.

Thanks again.

Dammit, I have tried several old telpstates.000 files and EVERY TIME while it will allow the teleport pads that had been activated by that time to work, it will NOT allow me to activate any of the unactivated ones even though I have the scrolls. Thus, I would play the entire rest of the game without those teleport pads being activated.

DAMN this is frustrating. Might just let the thing go now. So sad such a great game is so buggy.

EDIT: Oh man, and one of the unactivated ones is..... the council of seven. I don't know how to even get back there to reactivate that one since IIRC Zandalor teleported us both there together. And can't get him to do that again since he's still back there AT the Council of Seven.

Ugh. Disregard all of this thread. I'm done with it. Not starting over again. Thanks for all the help I've gotten here but am going to have to move on to a new game now.
