I was working on my Zerg Rebellion 5 map and when I went to test it it said that it was corrupted. I then went to SCMDraft2 and tried to open it, but it said that there was an error loading the map. Is there any way to fix this? I mean, seriously, I spent three days working on it and I don't want to lose my work.

:payne:

Open SCMDraft and find the "Back-Up Database". From there, find a good version of your map.

Post the map - I could attempt to retrieve at least some map info for you (like triggers, strings etc).

The entire file's been replaced with zeroes, wonder how that happened. Looks like you're SOL if you didn't save backups.

If you meant you couldn't find the backup database option, there it is. It should have periodically backed up your maps.

Open a map that isn't corrupt or create a new map and then follow these steps:

STEP 1:

click to enlarge

STEP 2:

You have lost all your files. I hope next time you make multiple backups of your work.

Oh_Man -- where they use third party audioprogram called WWISE which basically makes adding audio extremely difficult

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.
