A mission save error pre-panic

[Gambit21]

Ever get a hung save, restart the editor and now your mission won't load?

 

Deleting the .msbin file didn't work.

"save all missions to a folder" right now in hopes that does the trick.

If it doesn't, watch this space for a full on panic - I have a ton of work into this mission.

[Gambit21]

Turns out I had it saved elsewhere...still - that was close.

I got the same error, with that same mission when I tired to save the missions to another folder.

I have gotten this. Pain is not an accurate enough word for this.

Saving's a bit like voting in Irish general elections: save early, save often. And I often make a "back-up" save, just in case something catastrophic happens.

We use version control system for missions and the java code with our VP server stuff.

[Gambit21]

I have zero idea what that means Temuri.

 

I guess I'll start treating missions like my 3D work. Like Swallow says, save early, often, and save back-ups.

Gambit, the editor is very unstable in v2.008.

 

My advice is to save very often (every minutes).

[Gambit21]

Thanks Habu - as always.

Once again Temuri - I can't make any sense of that.

Once again Temuri - I can't make any sense of that. 

Basically you can save versions of your mission, and when needed look at the version history (with your comments about the version you have saved) and get any version you want back into use. The services usually are in cloud (e.g. Bitbucket), so it means that if you have a HD failure, your work is not lost.

Ahhh...thank you!
