PLEASE HELP ME!

[sadd18]

I have been working on my game for the last few months and I am bvery proud of what I have accomplished.

However about 1 hour ago I was working on it when my computer crashed, now when I try to load it up again it say's "failed to load map data info"

What can I do? is there anyway I am able to save anything I have done? I have it backed up but that was a whole lot of progress ago.

OH WHY DIDN'T I TAKE MORE PRECAUSIONS!

Please advice me, I'm getting desperate.

I'm not sure but, one thing you can try to do to recover some of the losses is:
1. Make a copy of the current project with the corrupted map files.
2. Copy-paste all the map data files from the OLD back-up's data folder to the new one (only the map data files).

Then try opening it in that copy of the current project.

Hey man, thanks for the help. I took what you said and ran with it.

Here is what I have done;

I created a new project and made 662 blank maps (The number in my corrupted game)
I then copied all the data files over except the "MapInfos" file.
This resulted in all my maps being recreated on the new project.
Now I have to go through them all and name them (for 662 maps!) but I am still very relieved.

Everything is still connected by the looks of things, all events still function and all scripts are intact.

Losses are minimal.

Cheers again.

Lesson's learned : always back up your work!
