Details

Likely due to --warnings, I get

1: In secfile_lookup_str_vec() [../../../src/utility/registry_ini.c:2247]: secfile '../../src/data/civ2civ3/game.ruleset' in section 'NULL': "goods_good.helptext" entry doesn't exist.

I guess 'helptext' is a mandatory field, but most of the time we get away with it missing?

Comment

There's something more complicated going on. The ruleset loads fine (one gets to the server prompt). But when I try to load a saved game that uses the same civ2civ3 ruleset, the ruleset loading fails.

Comment

During the savegame load, failure flag gets set, causing the load to abort, and that happens with a bogus error message.

That's because loading of research 'free_bulbs' has it's success reversed.
