Description

A Builder-to-Builder Load may result in resources that have missing detail.

For example,

  • A female NPC may load as a male with the default head and no inventory.
  • All lines may disappear from a conversation.
  • All flags may vanish from a plot.

It is entirely possible that other errors may occur.

Workarounds

This doesn't seem to happen if you choose the following options:

  • Show Dependents (which is not the default)
  • Create New (strings)
  • Do not select any resources which already exist (default)

If the target data base already contains a resource named X within module A, don't attempt to load X to module B. If A is not a parent of B, depending on the resource type, the toolset may report an error or attempt to work around the name duplication by creating a resource X_1. This can make the above-mentioned bug even worse (though it is not the sole cause).
