Re: [Enigma-devel] Enigma 1.0 problem on Mac

[Andreas Lochmann]

Hi,

the kind of error you described, occures, when you solved
a level in 0.91 within more than 9 hours (32767 seconds to
be exactly). You can either try to solve this level in 0.91
in a shorter time, then restart or reinstall 1.00; or we extract
the defective score manually from the file. One way or the
other, this single 9-hour-score will be lost.

If you decide for manual repair (maybe because you don't
have Enigma 0.91 anymore or don't know which level has
the faulty score), we do the following:

In particular, in this case we don't search for "enigma.score",
but for "enigmarc.lua2". It should be in the same user path:
Use the finder, menu titled "Go", select "Go to folder", then
type in: "/Users/david/.enigma". This should open the user
path for Enigma, including directories "level" and maybe
"thumbs", and a handful of files.

When you made it here, look out for a file named "enigmarc.lua2".
Copy it and send me a version, so I can repair it. OR, if you want
to repair it yourself (and know how to do the following):
1. Make a backup.
2. Open enigmarc.lua2 in a text-editor.
3. Search for a line with 39170.
4. Remove this single line.
5. Save enigmarc.lua2.

After one of us repaired "enigmarc.lua2", you'll have to remove
"enigma.score" and all its backups (marked with a "~"), as well
as "state.xml" and all its backups. Then restart Enigma twice to
see if the bug is gone, and write to us what happened.

Greetings,
Andreas
