GTA San Andreas - San Andreas ID Converter
All credit of this section goes to pdescobar, quoted from this gtaforums link. I simply copied this text and formatting from his post on the forums in an attempt to serve our community better - fiddlydee ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "A while back, wolf86k suggested that helpers who have v1 of SA might be able to do SnP requests for v2 users if they used the v2 scripts. Eventually, someone listened and ChrisGuy supplied the v2 scripts. Initial tests were favorable as it allowed the helpers to load v2 saves into v1. Unfortunately, after the game was saved in v1, it wouldn't reliably load back into v2. Recently someone asked about v2 savegames, and it was brought to our attention that mikeswi's v2 savegames (made on v1 using the v2 scripts like the SnP workaround) also weren't properly loading into v2, so I came up with an idea on how to force them to work. Part of the save file contains a version ID and apparently v2 was rejecting saves which had another ID (while v1 doesn't care.) I have written a small converter program which changes this ID for a save file and preliminary results are promising (MastaCheefa confirmed 4 of mikeswi's converted saves work in v2 and srk38 confirmed a converted SnP save works in v2). So, I am releasing the conversion program for SnP helpers to use when handling v2 SnP requests. The program can be downloaded from http://pdescobar.home.comcast.net/gta/sa_id_convert.zip The zip is around 96kb and contains only the executable and a README. The short version of the instructions are to simply complete the request like you normally would (
