[LVL ED] Map Disappaears in level editor?!! help pls

[Radical Batz]

When I load my map in the level editor nothing shows up, just a blank map with the name of it! But it still says 120kb when i load it, and before it loaded and worked but when my computer got stuck and crashed and restarted it, then this started to happen! but the other maps work but not this one!. and yes of course I saved it, I always save it. I hope I didn't lose my stuff in the map, because it took me 3 weeks to finish that map! I tried restarting my pc but nothing seems to happen! the map just gets blank

Only two things I can think of:

1. Do you have a resources.cfg file in your Amnesia redist directory? You may or may not have deleted it on accident, or it has been removed at some point. Make sure you have this. If you do not, you will need to make one.

2. Go to this directory:

Code: (Select All)

C:\Users\<your_user>\Documents\HPL2\

And post the LevelEditor.log file. (please put it in a spoiler, or post as an attachment. It has a lot of information in it)

Otherwise, you can upload your map and we can take a look.

I already made image attachments, and I already have a recources.cfg file, but when I load the map it's just blank! I'm really angry this map had lots of detail and lots of coding and scripting

I am aware of the image attachments, but they don't really help as much as what they do. All it tells me is that you are loading this map. It has been opened, and nothing is there, which you have stated.

Seeing as you do have a resource.cfg file in your redist, then that's good. I can assume that you can still place objects, entities, particles etc, in a new map without issues as well, so they are not invisible or stuff?

But I lost the stuff in the map, it took me 3 weeks to do that with details and everything,  you mean I have to start in the beginning? if yes then NO WAY! do you think it was easy to make that map? this seriously is annoying me, might as well delete my custom story!
sorry fo that, but then why does it still say 120 kb if it's blank?

I am not saying that you have to start over. Could you just upload the map, so I can clarify with my Level Editor to see if it works. If it does, then it's an issue on your end. If it doesn't then it is the map file itself that is causing issues.

For your size question:

Spoiler below!

Sizes of files are determined by it's written content. Seeing as there is still data there, there is 120KB of data still within the file itself. It's like when you open something in notepad and get symbols and things that make no sense to it, but all of that data is recognisable by a certain process and is then able to be read.

Basically your map still has data, that's why it is 120KB, even if it is "empty".

where do i upload it, I send you a pm with a mediafire link? the map was still not ready yet until the computer crashed and maybe made it not work

If it doesn't allow .map files as an attachment here, upload it wherever you feel comfortable.

Ah this thing. Usually editing maps in the LevEditor but your comp exited in the middle of editing, ALL DATE IS UN-READABLE. I had to redo a cellar map that's like 200 KB.

So no, you can never see the stuff inside again.
