Help Please! - Zaapeer - 06-03-2013

I have been working on a custom story for a little while now, and all of a sudden when I just tried to open my first map in the level editor it just opens as a new project, with nothing on it, though it says the name of the map in the upper left corner. And when I try to start the custom story it says that it was unable to load the map.. Sad Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't wanna redo the whole map Sad

Mediafire, File Dropper or Dropbox all work fine.

http://www.filedropper.com/intromap here you go, this is the download link to the map Smile
I believe you need to put it in a folder named "maps" within the Amnesia folder to open it.. Smile

No wait you don't need to do that Tongue

RE: Help Please! - ExpectedIdentifier - 06-03-2013

Wow, never seen this before. Looks like the file could be corrupted or something. Guess you'll have to wait until someone who knows replies cos I have no idea Tongue Very strange.

I noticed that when I added something to it and saved it as a new map, the size is back down to 3kb, very weird.

Yeah that's really wierd, somehow i guess it must have been overwritten.. :/ well thanks for the help Smile

I don't think it's overwritten. Did your computer suddenly shut down while you were working on it?
