Rascalius Member Posts: 56 From:Singapore Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 07-09-2001 08:12 PM Sorry about that dude. I lost two months worth of my Titanic level so I can totally relate. Have you tried the .prj file on one of your mate's computers? It might be a problem with the software as opposed to that particular .prj file (just a desperate suggestion). Anyway I hope you get it sussed dude, good luck. IP: Logged

blacknile Member Posts: 103 From:Uphoria Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 07-09-2001 09:26 PM There is a very simply solution. Back up your projects like the manual says. When working with ****ty software like the level editor you have a choice. Back up your work regularly or lose it all. I have about 50 different saves for my Ishtah project. If something goes wrong you can go back a save. Common sense really don't you think? IP: Logged

melanie Member Posts: 109 From:lincoln,england,uk Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 07-10-2001 07:44 AM I know how you feel, i feel so sorry for you, i spent a month making a laras home level last feburary using just one prj and one day suddenly it wouldnt load up, and there nothing i could do. i was so mad i nearly broke my computer, now i have over 100 prj files in my second version of laras home level to make sure it never happens again, i suggest you do that next time mate IP: Logged
mirai Member Posts: 94 From:Tokyo, Japan Registered: Nov 2000 | posted 07-10-2001 09:56 AM EVIL error is caused by object/light mismaps. It happens when I delete rooms with objects still in them. Delete everything before deleting the room. Also make sure when you bound a room you don't send objects out to never never land and miss them to. When you cause an evil error it will keep saving with your project and will not warn you until you reload the TRLE system. Make sure every half day you do that. Also any major changes, save another PRJ. I have been screwed a few times because of this major bug!! pe@ce MIRAI IP: Logged

psiko Member Posts: 454 From:Rome Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 07-10-2001 11:22 AM maybe you moved texture tga file or the wad. I suggest for the name of your PRJ to write the name of the custom TGA (placing it in the EXTRA TEXTURE folder), and the name of the personal WAD (placing it in the GRAPHICS\WAD folder). For example: MyLevel-texture3-(mycitywad)-X.prj where X is a NUMBER which tells you the version of the project. IN THIS WAY, if something happens to those files, you can at least rescue the prj naming a tga and a wad like those one. ------------------ | |--->> psiko <<---| | DOWNLOAD the TECHNOEGYPTIANS PORTAL http://tombraider.videogame.it/giochi/trle/livelli/tep.zip LAST UPDATE on june 18th.

Ekim642 Member Posts: 440 From:CT, USA :-) Mooooooooootown! Cows overpopulate people Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 07-10-2001 05:41 PM It was what Mirai was telling me! Can I fix that...? And gosh you people don't have to be sooooo rude! IP: Logged
psiko Member Posts: 454 From:Rome Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 07-11-2001 01:37 PM I remembered that I had once that message... it was when I created a too large TGA file: you can put in it only 256 textures of 64*64 pixels in a file which assembles them in order they occupy less dimensions as possible... ------------------ | |--->> psiko <<---| | DOWNLOAD the TECHNOEGYPTIANS PORTAL http://tombraider.videogame.it/giochi/trle/livelli/tep.zip LAST UPDATE on june 18th.

aktrekker Member Posts: 222 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 07-11-2001 05:38 PM Ekim, I might be able to save your project. You might lose the last room or 2, but I've done this before, so maybe I can fix it. IP: Logged
