Game can't save.

[obsidianxenon]

The game says it saves/autosaves, but the save is nowhere to be found. It can read from the save directory, but it can't seem to write to it.

This might be a permissions issue. Can you try doing chown -R 911:911 save then restarting the container?

If that doesn't work, try chmod 777 save and see if that works - if it does, please provide a ls -la of that directory afterwards, just so I have a better idea what permissions are necessary.

@duckfullstop Wait so in what directory? Also I'm using port 3979 if that helps.

[duckfullstop]

Try doing it against your save directory - so I.E run those above commands while you're in the same directory that contains openttd.cfg.

If you don't have a save directory, could you provide a ls -la of what you do have?

@duckfullstop Ok neither worked (exited - Code 0), and in the logs I get from portainer I see at the end:
`[2025-01-05 00:02:28] dbg: [net:3] Listening on 0.0.0.0:3979 (IPv4)

Keep in mind it actually loaded before, so something else is buggered now.

EDIT: I just deleted the directory, made a new one, and put the save file in it. Now I'm back to original problem.

[duckfullstop]

I think this is a legitimate issue, possibly due to a build train change; investigating...

[duckfullstop]

Can you test against the new images that are being built right now (once they've finished baking, of course)? Took a bit of help from the developer discord, but I've successfully figured out why stuff wasn't getting put in the /config directory as it always used to - you might need to move stuff back there...

[obsidianxenon]

@duckfullstop Do I just pull the image again?

[duckfullstop]

Once the image has finished being built, yeah - the page I linked to above has the status.

The builds can take upwards of an hour because the GitHub actions runners are pretty slow for stuff like this, so I'd go grab a coffee in the interim (or your beverage of choice).

[obsidianxenon]

@duckfullstop I'll go have breakfast then.

[obsidianxenon]

@duckfullstop So to give an update: The game now autosaves in the config/ directory (not to be confused with .config/), but it reads autosaves from config/save/autosave/. Another thing I have noticed is that the autosaves, which are structured like: Blah Transport, 1940-01-01-autosave.sav will not be read even if I put them in save/autosave/, unless I rename it to autosave0.sav or similar. I'm not quite sure what is going on here.

[duckfullstop]

Sorry for the delay, I've been yucky with flu and it hit me again yesterday 🤧

I've just pushed an update (d0ebf65) that will use an existing .config directory if it exists - that should unbreak existing installations.

I'm still super curious why you're unable to load anything. Can you provide a log from a container launch? (once the newest containers have built)

Also, could you run both ls and pwd from the OpenTTD game console when it's running, and post the results here? The easiest way to do that is to make sure the container is running with -it flags (i.e docker run -it *).

You can also try loading a save manually that way (load save.sav)

[obsidianxenon]

@duckfullstop The game launches normally with a name such as autosave.sav but with another name, in this case Nix Works, 1940-12-03-autosave.sav I get this recurring error:

/usr/local/bin/entrypoint: 30: [: /config/save/autosave/Nix: unexpected operator

/config/save/autosave/Nix Works, 1940-12-03-autosave.sav not found...

Also, as I said before, the game autosaves to /config/ but loads from /config/save/autosave/. Any idea how to change that?

One more thing: when I run those commands from the OpenTTD console, it just gives me the client's save directory (I am running with -it). Am I in the wrong spot? EDIT: I ran them with RCON and got this:

ls:
0) .. (Parent directory)
1) .. (autosave/ (Directory)

pwd: /config/save/
