Map Editor : Sometimes when you save the map the Main folder gets deleted

I just want to point out that if you guys could figure a way to fix this.

It happened to me twice while making my map with the new editor. When saving the map and something go wrong in the saving process and makes the game crash it just deletes the main folder and some other files. My guess is that while saving the map it deletes these files to put the new updated ones but it just crashes and never put back these files.

I think you guys should make a temp folder for these files so if it crashes at least you can put them back in your map folder or just make that the files are deleted only when the processes is totally done.

Otherwise the new editor is wonderful, Thanks!

 

If you keep the work-in-progress map in mods/unpacked it will stay untouched by the saved changes. Nothing gets deleted or rewritten there. Changes go to 0.25/levels which works as the temp folder that you can check before merging it to unpacked map files.

 

Yeah but if you save multiple times in a session I'll still get corrupted? all the previous save will just get deleted if you don't merge them. Like I know what you mean but it doesn't change a whole lot. It would be the same as a manual backup... at the moment I make backups from times to times cause I just can't be confident that the save map feature will not crash. I mean I'm not annoyed and irritated to make backup but I still wanted to point that out. Fixing this problem would be a bit better I do think.

 

I've never experienced a crash during saving. The first save after a lot of changes takes longer and the yellow "level saved" note may not appear. Then I save it again once or twice to be sure .
