Restore Overwritten Map

[colinjames12]

Is there any way to restore an overwritten map? I've seen Shadow Copy Client, but I can't make it to work and it's probably not gonna work anyway because my map has been overwritten already b4 I even installed.

The only backup that I have is the one I uploaded here 4 months ago.

I hope someone can give me hope on this one.

And is there anyway to fix a corrupted trigger data/wtg file?

Maybe system restore could work? I'd need somebody to confirm that a system restore actually rolls back file modifications too.

What a system restore does, is take your computer back in time to a certain date. This means the computer "rolls back" all its drivers, updates, applications, etc to this previous date. System restore is a tool to help users remove viruses from their computer or recover from serious crashes, but perhaps it could "roll back" your map too?

Here is some information: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows7/products/features/system-restore

if you are using JNGP you can go to JNGP folder and backups, and find one that fits your needs(there are like 40 backup maps), if you dont, maybe Radicool's solution will help

I know System Restore, I already tried. I'm pretty sure it only brings back important files, not sure what files these are, but I'm not really sure if it restores all files, but I'll probably try again.

And no I don't use JNGP. Thx anyway. 4 months of work is probably not that big cause I'll be able to do it faster, 2 months I hope.

heads up man, you at least know what youve lost and if you know how it was made(if you made it you will for sure know) it will go like wind, maybe month maybe even less if you remember very good. You dont need to reinvent the stuff at least

I recommend downloading JNGP, as you see there is like 40 backup files in there, so something like this cant happen unless you somehow damage the hard disk or delete the JNGP file

But that's Jass, I use GUI.

You should definitely start to use JNGP.
Not only does it retain all the normal functions of the world editor but it has lots more.
That means just because it supports vJASS, you can continue to use GUI in the same manner.

I work with GUI too but I still benefit from all the other cool stuff it has.
Trust me when I say it's worth getting for everyone whether they use GUI or JASS/vJASS.

that is the old JNGP. use JNGP1.5e or JNGP2.0

u can use GUI in JNGP only thing is that key handle for hashtables do not work in JNGP.
u should dl JNGP2.0 for the other tools. it has a multisession tool that can make multiple wc3s on one pc for testing ur map in multiplayer. and a few other things that are usefull

 

[Faith]

I was told to stick with 5d because it was more stable versus 5e. But it's up to you.
2.0 is still being tested aparently. So you could use that instead, but it's probably buggy too.

 

[deathismyfriend]

1.5e is perfectly fine to use.

 

[colinjames12]

That's the problem I need the key handle in hashtables.

 

[Faith]

*cough* ive never had a problem with hashtables. >_>

The thing is, JNGPE is based on worldedit121, which was even originally outdated. It is missing the place to select a handle in GUI(triggering unit and the likes). Then again the normal world editor has this.

 

[Faith]

does 1.5d suffer from the same bug?

 

[Xonok]

does 1.5d suffer from the same bug?

Good question. I'll check(I have 1.5e and d)

EDIT: Yes, both d and e have this bug and are based on worldedit121
