<div class="IPBDescription">Cant open RMF!</div> when i builded in hammer my PC suddenly crashed and restarted automaticly.

I saved the map many times and i created very much on it. But when i opened hammer again after the Reboot of my PC.

An error says : <b>Oops! SerializeRMF() v2.2 tried to load a file v0.0. Aborting.</b>

and then it says when i push OK: <b>There was a file Error.</b>

What can i do? i dont wanna loose the rmf. And i cant open it. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    All i can suggest it trying to use hlfix to convert to map and try to open the .map up.
    Remember, always back up your work, always...
    Try to re-install hammer just incase?

    This is why a backup utility is included with Cagey's tools...

    Also, try opening the .map as Reebdoog said, and HLFix. Beyond that... you could try opening the .rmf in NSPSEdit (the only other app I can think of that opens RMFs), to see if the RMF itself is messed, or opening the .map in another editor like Radiant or Quark.

    dude, you got screwed.

    Best thing to do as far as I know is try making a copy of all the files you want to save (mainly the .map and .rmf files), then un and re-installing hammer

    You could try compiling what you have using batch compiler to try and make a .map file... probably won't work tho... but it's worth a shot

    Dorian said something about a backup tool in cagey's tools (which i've never heard of). Maybe he can elaborate?

    In the Batch Compiler spec file from cagey's stickey, theres a tab for "MBA" which makes a copy of your map source and renames it/moves it to a seperate folder on every compile. Very useful, since you have backups from many stages of the map. I'm not 100% sure if mba comes with Cagey's tools, but if not the link is in the sticky.

    YES! MBA is normally run with batch compiler!

    You should check to see where it points to, and check that folder!
