Same. I get @TyrelSackett's error when doing the wild command, for tamed it's 62 instead of 67:

Apart from the fact, that ark-tools does not know how to handle version 8 there seems to be little to no problem parsing the version savegames. I changed the code so version 8 is treated like version 7 and until now, i could not discover any bugs / problem.

Until qowyn provides an official solution, i provide a hotfixed build: https://ark.bienerd.de/pages/ark-tools-hotfix.html and created a pull request, stating the changes Qowyn/ark-savegame-toolkit#4.

I think we should continue to provide problems / bugs / differences to version 7 to support.

Your download is detected by Chrome as suspect.

@SwissBorn2Frag thank you for pointing out. Of course, the file is clean. I guess, chrome flags the file because of ark-tools.exe & ark-tools.jar contents. A note and virustotal scan was added to my page.

[SwissBorn2Frag]

Thanks. Your fix works :)

[van-dell]

@b13n3rd Thanks, works like a charm!

[TyrelSackett]

well now we have version 9. Thanks Wildcard! @b13n3rd any way to fix for version 9??

@b13n3rd
Can you please fix it again? :)
Can you maybe add something like if(version >= "8") to automatically fix it for further versions?

[Qowyn]

Should be completely fixed with the 0.6.0 release
