File broken?

in Mapping
Hello,

I wanted to open a map in the editor, but it only says "Error Loading File"... When I try to play on the map ingame, it just loads an official map instead. Last time I opened the file was a few months ago, but I am sure it worked back then. Does anybody know this problem or is there any chance to solve this or is the file dead now?

    Uploading the map somewhere for us to download would be very helpful

    It looks like you have a corrupted level file. You can try doing Help>View Autobackups and opening an older version

    I opened your level file in a hex editor, thinking I might be able to repair it. It's 1,482 KB of zeros... :( Looks like the file space was reserved, then nothing actually got written.

    How can that happen?^^

    SamusDroid, the Autobackup thing worked! The file is only 12 min older and is 1480kb instead of 1482, I guess I can rebuild the 2kb :D what a great feature I didn't know of.

    Thank you guys!

    Not sure how it could have happened. Did you force-close the program or lose-power while saving?

    At least the autobackup feature I just added has some use!

    I don't remember because it is too long ago that I used the editor, but it is possbile yes. It freezed quite often at some point and I had to force-close it often too... luckily my PC is more stable now.
