Map file not opening.

Post by fishy » August 4th, 2012, 11:59 am

I've been working on my map when yesterday whilst compiling the BSP I got an error: Image Now since this error all brushs/patchs aren't in the map file and the map is renamed to "unnamed.map" when viewed from radiant, but when the .map file is opened with a notepad++ all the brushs ect are there like a normal map. I should note that when I open that map in radiant the textures that I had in use before the compile error are still in the texture preview window like they would when continuing work on any other map. So I'm wondering is the map recoverable or a lost cause? I had no backup.

Post the contents of the map file when you open it in notepad so we can have a look.
