Im createing a new map on scmdraft 2, and it aparently saved fine and i kept working on it. Now the next day, when i try to open my map to finish it, it will not open because an error message pops up. Is there anyway to fix this and anyway to get my map back? Iv attached the file, and i changed the 'open with' part of the file to see if it would atleast open on normal staredit, but it wouldnt.

Did you try looking through SCMDraft's backup database? Chances are you have a working version saved there somewhere.

Open SCMDraft 2, Go to Advanced -> Open Backup Database. A window should pop up. Select the name of the map you worked on at the top window and the bottom window should show past revisions. Click on the newest ones and restore each of them individually and try to open them.

Restoring a corrupt file is not really possible, unless you beg our hex editing / map compressing gurus to manually fix it.

That file is empty. It contains no data.

It has 50 kB of zeroes?

I don't have the capability of opening it right now, but I find that hard to believe.
