The program indeed support converting inc and ai files, not savegame files.
This specific error, if you want to know, is the matter of the program using older version of EE.dll which presumes that braces are always used in this configuration:
name = { value1 value2 }, ie. braces are always preceded by some identifier and '=' sign. Back then, I wasn't aware that savegames contain braces which appear alone, like internal braces here: name = { { value1 value2 } {value3 value4} }. So the validator throws out an error. Replacing included EE.dll with some newer version could help but could also introduce some unforessen problems and after all, this specific app doesn't deal with savegames at all.
If you have any other problem with Abyss scenario, what is the error message now?

Just starts loading,and have a APP crash,I have no idea about what is happening
Maybe savedebug.txt says something?
The only "silent" CtDs I tend to have happen when I seriously mess something up in localization CSVs.

Scenarios only.
Savegames in this regard are a superset of scenarios, bringing countries, ministers, leaders, province resources, etc. in, which are not converted and after converting a scenario for the new map are taken straight from DH Full.

I can't convert map (WERS battlescenario to DH Full map)
I get this when I try to convert

Hi Bizon,
Was wondering if this will be updated for the 1.04 patch? I converted a 1836 map from Victoria Revolutions to HOI2. It worked fine in DH with no mods as well as DH Lite. The source and destination validated successfully. Here are the files if you wish to look (no big deal either way)...I uploaded the source eur file from hoi 2 and the converted inc file which I could not load.
If this is no longer supported, no problem. I can play with it in my spare time
Have a good one and a belated thanks...

Hi,
This program is a bit unlucky because, and I lamented it 2 or 3 years ago already, I lost the source code of it at some point. Even if it were hard to make any edits and recompiles at this point, it would at least be handy to refresh my memory about what was going on.
BUT, I think the problems are elsewhere, not only in the program. I don't know if 1.04 itself brought many changes to the game that make the converter fail but it's probably a sum of developments of subsequent versions:
1. Some provinces don't convert well and even if they should be removed by the program they aren't. It's easy to catch, they generate a lot of "province" entries with empty "id = " field so all those entries must be deleted. Also, a couple of countries have their capitals in such places, so it's important to remove empty "capital =" entries.
2. There is a lot of redundancy in the source file itself so probably the Vicky->DH converter is also supplying a couple of problems. There are duplicated "AI" entries and resources definitions "energy=" etc. for practically every country.
3. There is "Invalid ... policy slider value [0]" because all sliders have been changed to accept only 1-10 values - easily fixed.
4. A lot of "ignored provinces" (blacked-out ones, just as in battlescenarios) have their buildings (ICs, bases, forts) set while they should be left empty.
All this results in the part of files not being parsed so in result the provinces are not given to their intended owners and this, from my experience, makes the game crash.
I fixed problems #1, #3 and partially #2 and at minimum you would have to work with those points on the file: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?res...3548&authkey=!AA-cd58gpXptVpk&ithint=file,zip. When you start the game and make it crash, savedebug.txt will hold information about all these errors with "ERROR" at the beginning of each log line describing a problem. They even give you lines in the file which must be fixed.
Even then, I guess there may be additional problems with division/brigade models which used to change along the subsequent patches but maybe it's worth trying to fix the listed issues firts.

Hi Bizon,
I DID IT. I converted a game from Victoria 1: Revolutions to Darkest Hour.
With your converter, it is now possible to play from 1836 to 1960s in darkest hour! Over 100 years of gameplay!
Thank you so much for making the map converter.
I found some issues with the Map converter.
The province IDs of ships are not converting properly, most of the ships are stuck on land.
A fleet with 50 aircraft carriers that I built from 1933-1935 teleported and stuck in African land.
As a result, I have to manually edit the savegame and set all ships from the world to Mexico Bay.
Also, that means it is now possible to do CK1 ---> EU2 ---> VIC1 ---> Darkest Hour
or
CK1 ---> EU3 ---> VIC1 ---> Darkest Hour
Over 1000 years of gameplay, ending in darkest hour! But I haven't tested it out yet.
Thank you for your map converter!
Here's the savefiles just in case anyone wants to try it.
