[Import] All imported skins/models are erased everytime I save and close the map

[Connacht]

So this has happened 5 times with 3 different maps the last few times I've saved and closed a map in the world editor. I have no idea what's causing it, but the filesize for all imports reads 0 and it stops displaying properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried reinstalling, but that didn't help.

It’s a known and old bug. Best advice I can give you is just to make backups or do version control with something like Git.

When this happens (and apparently it's because a model is corrupted), I always refer to this post:

Suddenly all my imports stopped working.

Was happily working on my map when I went to test out a trigger it said "failed to save map". Ok had that happen before and used Save As to successfully save the map. However now ALL my imports (both models AND sounds) are no longer working. Anyone know what I did? I swear I had this happen to...

Like this you don't lose your entire progress.

Advice for the future is to save in the import manager before closing it.

1) Import file/files
2) Change paths (If needed)
3) Save the map from the import manager before closing it or placing the custom object on the map

It's pretty neat trick and since I started doing this I have not lost my imports.
