I was recently playing around in ResEdit, working with the MASCOT Graphics. I screwed something up, big. I tried to open my world with my MASCOT and I belive I ruined the file. When I try to open the World File with ResEdit, it advises me to repair the file. It tries but fails. Can anyone help? I did not have a recent back-up. :mad:

I kept having the same problem time after time after time after time (way back when BN was still in action), and I wish I knew what was causing it. (#1 idea: Editing a world file in ResEdit and MASCOT at the same time.) Regardless, I was still able to modify my world fine, although now it saves changes only when it feels like it. I open up my world to begin a good day's work only to find the past half-hour's work not present. Even stranger, sometimes those "lost" modifications popped up again later. After awhile it kinda' stopped, but it was irritating.
If your R&D; department makes any breakthroughs, I'll be happy to put them in practice myself.

Greetings - I am your friendly neighborhood moderator. Over the coming years I shall force-feed you my biased one-sided liberal tripe that I find truthful based upon my own faulty and fragmented logic; excessive smileys 
and bizarre TexT! formatting also help clarify my inane points. Welcome to the boards!

When I try to open my file it doesn't load and the world name (in the right hand bar) looks something like this "*^HJGdjhhhjhhyhl§^^"
So...
It appears I am proverbial, "screwed" Fortunately, I had only made a few (hundred) changes, hopefully I can remember them.

Nay, nay. I edit my world file with both at the same time quite a lot. All I get is a "Level cannot be saved" error in MASCOT if I try to save. And the changes don't take effect until ResEdit is closed. Hope that helps.
