I'm asking here before filing a bug report because i really hope someone can tell me an easy way to bypass this and manage to save the map i was working on, without losing a bunch of work. whenever i try to save the map, i get the message Error saving map! Saved map file may be corrupt! Reason given: [c:/data/bzr/widelands/working/src/io/filesystem/layered_filesystem.cc:234 ] LayeredFileSystem: unable to create sub filesystem I've noticed the game attempts to ccreate a saved game file, as [name].wtf.tmp. having nothing to lose, i tried to manually rename the file as a .wtf, and it turned out i can open that file without problem with the editor of 7515. apparently, no information was lost; so far i only worked on terrain and elevation, however. also, when i tried to save the map again, it refused to overwrite a file and told me i'd have to delete the old save manually, but maybe that's only because the saved game was .wtf.tmp but i already had problems with the editor forbidding you to overwrite old saves (giving error messages if you try) since several months ago; i never reported it because it's easier to just add a number to the new save, and i figured your programming time could have been used better.

I think I have seen something like this as well, I can't reproduce it with current trunk right now though. The .tmp file thing is pretty recent and was introduced to solve some problems. Where have you installed Widelands? Maybe Windows is blocking the overwriting of files if it is in Program Files - just a wild guess. Busy indexing nil values

widelands is in program files, but the saved maps are in my user folder, so windows shouldn's give problems there

ok, i made a test. i installed the last available windows build, 7562, and the editor has the same problem. then i installed it again, outside of program files (in c:/widelands 7562, to be exact) and it behaves exactly the same. i opened a bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands/+bug/1509172

Thanks for double-checking and the bug report. Busy indexing nil values
