Loading a save after loading a save as public bricks breaks the ownership

[Brixmon]

To clarify: When I load a landscape save for my Fort Wars server that's saved as public bricks and then load the "buildings" save, which consists of bricks that should NOT be public and were not saved as public bricks, causes the loaded save to be public. Somehow.
Now, I can fix this by loading it as "Yours", but it's a Fort Wars server. I don't want to steal peoples' forts.

Let me get this strait. So you're loading a terrain build as public, and then you're loading another build on top of it? and it's not supposed to be public, but is?

Yeah, that's exactly what's happening.
This also happens if I save the buildings on the terrain after loading the buildings under my ownership.
When that save, which most certainly has all the proper ownership values saved, is loaded, the bricks all mysteriously become public, even when "Saved Owner" is checked.

Maybe you're not saving brick ownership at all.

Nevermind, I think I get it now.

Here's your problem:
Brick ownership is saved from the bottom brick upward. So, if you have six bricks built on top of each other with the bottom one placed by you and the other five placed by me, only your ownership is saved because your brick was on the bottom. So when the save is loaded, all six bricks load as if they are all your's.

That's what's happening when you save the bricks. They are being loaded as public because they were built on top of terrain was set as public.

I wish that I could get you a fix for it, but I can't. Ephialtes has at some point made a per-brick ownership save/loader for RTB hosting, but since RTB's been shut down, it probably can't be retrieved now.

I've been using this to get RTB files. If you could direct me to the forum post in the RTB Listings section, I could get the filename and download that to fix my problem.
