Maps made/modified in Beta will not load in Stable?

[marchingcubes]

Hi,

 

Since the beta version I had been testing seems to be giving me trouble in some areas, I thought I would just go back to the stable build.

 

However, when I do so, and try to load my maps, I get:

 

Error: File version 31 not supported.

 

This isn't a huge deal for me right now, as I can stay on the beta without too much inconvenience, but damn.. I understood the beta was not guaranteed to be 'bug free' but no mention was made of it making my projects unusable with the stable version.

 

If others are considering opting into the beta, perhaps they should know this may be a problem before doing so

Well, I think Josh updated the file format or something for the maps to allow for expanded features. The current version might be 32 or something like that.

 

I think it would be helpful though to get more a heads up on this. I knew what was going on because I couldn't enter the beta with my current map, so I had to update it, but I guess it might be possible to miss this error or not have it pop up. Unfortunately, you'll likely have to wait to use that map with the next default branch.

This is one of the caveats of using the beta. If the map format gains new info there is no way to roll it back.
