OK, how do i replace the files i have for turn 15 without changing my turn 16 data?

You can keep playing with your old result file. The server will accept turns made with either result because they are substantially identical (*).

If you're interested in the new scans, unpack the new one to a new game directory and read it there. You can also copy the files kore6.dat, mdata6.dat, shipxy6.dat, and target6.dat from the new directory to your regular directory (close Winplan first!).

If you're playing with a client that does not unpack result files (PCC2 and, I believe, JVPC), just replace the RST.

If that sounds too complicated, you can also just redo your whole turn from the new result, as if you had just received a new turn (and as you had to do if I hadn't been able to fix it this way). This complicatedness is an offer to save you from that.

Footnote (*): host will not accept intercept/tow orders for ships you saw with the original turn-15 RST, but not with the turn-15 rerun. So if your Plan-to-take-over-the-Cluster includes intercepting an enemy ship this turn, make sure you see it.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
