When I opened up my map this morning I got the following error:
[5/14/2011 1:20:23 PM] Warning: Unable to load 'Triggers' from '.../Desktop/Dropbox/Starcraft Projects/Star Emblem/Star Emblem.SC2Map'
Effectively it seems that all the Trigger structure is there, but all the variables, records, and presets are gone, and all the triggers, conditions, functions, actions, and folders have lost their names.
Fortunately I have 14 auto backups and the most recent one is fine. But I really really do not want to have to go back to it. I did soo much busy work in the day that was lost. So many variables defined for data. So I thought I would beseech the community in the hopes of finding a way to fix this.
I already opened up the Map with and MPQ extractor, and the files seem to be there. I kind of think it is the TriggerStrings.txt that isn't being loaded since this seems similar to what happens when a map isn't localized. But that is in there. ___
So now I ask can anyone, anyone shine some sort of light on this. I'm really hoping someone can give me some hint or solution that might allow me to fix this.
After some examination I'm certain that the problem is with the Triggers document. But the file is far to large for me to exhaustively search through it looking for a problem which I may not even be able to recognize.
Does anyone know of absolutely anything that might cause such a problem?
Chances are it got corrupted and the backup is the best you can do ... put it into perspective, think about how much time you are wasting trying to solve the problem to how much time it would take you to do the work again ... I know it sucks but it is better to cut your losses early. I had Tofu error on me a few times and lost a days worth of work, its not fun, better to have autoback up every 15 mins or so. When it did that I would simply get the last backup and start coding again, because I had already done it, I was faster than the first time. Better than wasting time for something you can't fix simply IMO.
I just spent the one day trying to solve it, but I'm still a bit worried that the problem might reoccur since I have no clue what caused it.
I actually had over 100 back ups from different times. Everytime I save DropBox backs up the file for me, but unfortunately the last 18 or so files wouldn't load either.
