How do I edit save ver?
-
I have just made a save file CPS file, in the Beta version of TPT. I want to use it in the previous version (that is the release, not Beta). Just copying the file to the save folder of my release-version of TPT tells me that it's a save from a later version (Beta is at 79.2 but release is only at 78.1) yet I have not used ANY feature or element that isn't already in the release version, so if I can edit the version number of the save file I SHOULD be able to get it to load in the release-version of TPT. Where in the save file will I need to use a hex editor to set it to the current release version 78.1 (instead of Beta 79.2)?

HOw is the number handled in that byte? 79.2 could correspond to 792 but that number is bigger than 255, and the max value of a byte is 255. 79.2 is smaller than one byte, but a byte value isn't a floating-point value so that wouldn't work either. Please explain the way the version number is stored. Thanks.

But a save from 79.2 won't work with 79.1, so it must be stored in the save SOMEHOW.

No, a save from 79.2 will work in 79.1, the major number (79) is generally only incremented when a change to the save format (Either its structure or new elements) is made, thus rendering older clients unable to read saves correctly.

Nope, only the major version number is stored and used to determine whether a save is from a newer version. That's why the major version number is increased every time a new element is added - to prevent saves that could contain the new element being opened in old versions and working incorrectly.
All 79.x saves should open fine in any 79.x version.
Edit: pfft, beaten by Simon :(
