Retraining fails from pretrained models

I downloaded a model from the pretrained torch models:

http://opennmt.net/Models/

I try to load the parameters and train a new model on my data.
Unfortunately, both models through the same error. I also have models trained in opennmt-py but they seem to be not compatible with the Lua version.

th train.lua -train_from /wmt-ende-with-bt_l2-h1024-bpe32k_release/model-ende_epoch7_4.12_release.t7 -update_vocab replace -data opus_retrain-train.t7 -save_model opus_retrained

The error:

[07/24/18 15:01:04 INFO] Loading checkpoint ‘/wmt-ende-with-bt_l2-h1024-bpe32k_release/model-ende_epoch7_4.12_release.t7’…

Is there a way around it or is my only way to train those models myself?

See:

Thanks. So no way around but to train everything again…
