| fixing a corrupt map is near to impossible -- error can be where you do not think and can not show up if you do not do certain things example is the sholotl map from inside multi player pack map load in editor and play in game -- with out problem but there is a corrupt shop in it if you edit the shop when you save the file the editor crash -- always |

| my very first map became corrupted, and almost one I have worked on for literally a month! You must ALWAYS create backups, if your map becomes corrupted, there is only a 0.01% that you will be able to play/recover it. But it is VERY difficult, and you must try literally hundreds of times. |

| My only suggestions are: 1. drink HEAVILY 2. make FREQUENT backups in future (and name each backup differently, cuz sometimes stuff is corrupted and you don't know it until 5 or 6 backups later). If you save over previous backups, you may wind up with corrupted backup too. When I was making the Abyssal maps, I saved each file every 15 minutes or so with the extention -001, -002, -003, etc. By the time I finished the maps, I had hundreds of backups (times 5 maps). But the editor is such a total piece of shit, that's what it took to get a fully functioning map in the end. I can't begin to count the number of times I had to go backward 10 or even 20 backups to find a fully working copy in order to redo all the work I had done. Perhaps my experience is unusual, but certainly not unique (as I think you're finding out). |
