Map vanished

(Justice) #1

You gotta be ****ing ****ting me… I’ve wasted half my ****ing vacation creating this map. I open my .map file and it’s just all empty. Nothing, nada, not one brush.

Is there ANY WAY to get it back?

I had once this problem.Try reinstalling radiant,I don’t remember how I got to get it back sorry

Normally Radiant creates backup-files, they got the .bak extension. Search for a file like this with your mapname and rename it to map file and reopen it with Radiant.

Voila :slight_smile:

A little more explanation: back up files get created whenever you run a compile of your map. So this back up file should be at the status of the last compile.

That, my friend, was the most satisfying topic I have ever read.

Thank you, so freaking much.

You could also try to open the map file with a text editor.

Maybe the filter was on

'View -> filter -> world (or any other key) ’
But good to hear it’s working
