(Search terms in case I want to find this thread in the future - Thread error, engine/string_packer.lua:50, STR_UNPACK, engine/save_manager.lua:28, meta.jkr, '}' expected)
Hmm, looks like your meta.jkr file got corrupted. That file keeps track of your unlocks/discoveries.
There's a couple of easy and hard fixes, but which one we can use depends on how much progress you already have with your discoveries and unlocks. How far along are you?
A decent way through
All i was missing in my collection was like
8 Jokers
2 Tags
And the last deck
I believe i had everything else unlocked
Unfortunate since that's the more difficult one to fix
If you can upload your meta.jkr file here I can probably take a look (path to the file)
No worries haha
Let me see if I can take a look
Hmm yeah there's definitely some \u0000 corruption going on there. I'll see if just removing them fixes your file
What does that mean exactly, if you dont mind me asking?
I'm just curious is all
No clue! meta.jkr is basically a compressed (https://chromestatus.com/feature/5172771293233152) string, and once I unzipped it, some characters showed up as \u0000 instead of the expected alphanumerical characters
Here's a small section of such text ["j_half"]=true,["bl_final_acorn"]=true,["b_painted"\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000ronomer"]=true,[\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000["c_sun"]=true,["j_mail"]=true
this is the collection I got, does that seem right?
Seems about right, yea
Perfect. Replace your current meta.jkr file with this new one and everything should be fixed (🤞)
I mightve miscounted on the jokers but everything else seems correct
Swapped it out, and no error message!
Also seems I was right about having 8 jokers missing (Top LEFT* on page 9 and middle on page 10 have stickers for stakes but still say I have to discover them) but thats not a huge deal like i said
Ah yeah those probably got zeroed out
Oh well, I'll probably just find and pick them up again at some point, theyre not locked behind requirements so its no issue
Here's an updated file if you'd like to discover them right now
Yea that fixed it, ty!
