    My God what a disaster......



    I am currently working on a scenario about the Roman Empire. I have decided to split the scenario into parts. I have already finished the first part(225AD-284AD) and i am working on the second part(284AD-394AD).

    Each part has its own Units.bmp, events.txt, Rules.txt files(when i say parts, i mean Red front style).

    Problem is, that i accidentaly coppied the event file of the second part over the one of the first part. After overcoming an initial panic attack, i found out that one of the autosaves has the old events saved in.

    IS THERE A WAY TO EXTRACT THOSE EVENTS IN A EVENTS.TXT FILE?


    REQUIRE YOUR AID IMMEDIATELY.

    As always, thanks.

    Ok i got it.


    All it needed was to start the game with no events file, and then via the editor make a small change to the events-for example delete a minor event. The game would then copy the new edited events file in the Scenario folder.



    I think this thread has run its course. Kill it, Ming.

      Wow, that would have been a scary moment.

      I lost a months work on 'Raging Dragon' by saving a game in progress over my 'work' file. Since then, I save things literally dozens of times, and make regular backups of the entire scenario by copying the folder to a holding directory.

        After every major change, I make a new save file.

        My SDC submission has 24 saves; DualEuro has 42 saves; Fictional Americas has 25 saves; Roman Riots II has 24 saves.

          Well what happened to me yesterday was nothing compard to the big one, 6 months ago.

          My hard drive malfuctioned and lost all the work of 4 years of scenario designing for both Civ2 and Age of Empires. I did not care much for the civ2 scenarios, they were not that good anyway.

          But Age of Empires.....

          I had done the Campaign of Alexander the great. It had absolute accuracy on the geographical and historical elements. You led the Macedonian army from the Balkan campaigns vs the illyrians to the mountains of Armenia and Afghanistan. It is interesting to note that it took me a whole year of research and designing. Average design time for a mission was 3 weeks...
          I was espesially proud of the Balkan campaign and the Battle at Gaugamela. I have played the best scenarios on the net (Gordon Farell's) and with the danger of sounding mad, i considered mine to be thousand times better.
          The Balkan campaigm even had accurate water depths taken from an ancient atlas.
          But now, all is lost.....
