Im makin a Rpg, its my first so its not the best. But i have spent alot of time on it. so here is my question...

I was working on it, i went to save it, it saved and then my comp restarted for no reason. I go back to WE and tryed to load my map and it says " Level info missing or invalid" i have no idea what that means but im kinda frusterated that this happend specialy when i have worked so hard on my map. Any Help would be appreciated Thanks A Head Of Time

That means one of the files from the map archive has been deleted or corrupted. Open the file with a program such as WinMPQ, note all the files there, open a similar map, and compare them. If they are apparently the same, aside from imported files, then it's just corrupted. The terrain layer would be the 'Level Info' I assume, but I am unsure as to which file that is in the map archive :?

I think I have a solution. Download World Editor Unlimited, open the WEU Enhancer, open your map, go to the last tab on the right-top, and Export all the layers. Whichever one doesn't export is the bad one. The rest you can import into a new map, so you can at least save some of it.

If you can't open it with any editor, any MPQ editor, or with WEU Enhancer, then I would say you're out of luck, bro. Sorry.
