I'm currently in the 15th level of the official hold but when I go to hold selection, I can see that the hold is only 23% completed. I seriously don't believe that the number is correct because I'm already over halfway. (Unless the last levels are really huge!)

Perhaps this line in my drod.err has something to do with it?

Assertion error in line 580 of C:\\Caravel\\DROD17\\DROD\\HoldSelectScreen.cpp: "GetDbRefCount() == dwStartingDbRefCount"

Erm - that's weird.

The percentage is percentage of secrets conquered, not the hold - but the % secrets should only show up when the hold is conquered. So it is a bug, but not what you expected.

Could it be that the demo hold and the official hold is considered to be the same hold (same GIDs). That would explain this behaviour, since when you import a player that has completed the demo hold, DROD thinks that you've completed the entire hold and thus the percentage shows up.

Nasty bug, really.

Yes, you're right, and it is. I've made a general-purpose fix that will work for all holds: when importing saved games, if a "hold conquered" saved game is encountered, it will only import it if there actually is an exit staircase (still) in that room.

I'm betting architects in general will like this, for as they add levels to a hold in development, people won't automatically get conqueror access if they have merely beaten the hold at an earlier stage in development.
