during a find/replace on textures listed during compile as missing radiant crashed. When reopened and map opened, virtually nothing left. in cod2 I had a crash that somehow was recoverable but I don't remember the details. anybody have any recommendations? I'm afraid to touch any files just in case. double posted, please delete one edited on Aug. 22, 2008 10:58 pm by blmeanie

If you have autosave on, open radiant and go to your bin folder and open the autosave file.

Experienced mappers ( or those who lost a map ) always make a backup of their work in progress on another name and another drive or folder.... Think about it.

Doh... sorry to hear this mate.. I know how it feels.. But my first little error like this, And I went out and bought an 8Gig memorex USB stick, now I backup my map source every night and save it on another pc also... 3D engineering drawings are treated exactly the same... ;)

I'm anal about backing up at work, I think the reason I missed it with the map is because for the longest time I was splitting time between a couple of maps and only recently put all my efforts on this one. It is a conversion from one of my cod2 maps so I have a base that is started if I want to recreate the new version again.

This world of mapping is so damn adictive, I am hook line and sinkered... My first map should be out soon, followed very closely by the second map... Look out for the UWSHell_Series i have designed 7 maps and churning through them 1 after the other. 3weks in a wheelchair has given me the dedication needed for learning the art, and now putting it to practice. This first one being mp_uws_plateau_hell...
