Route not saving correctly

Post by Class172 »

Hi all,

I was editing a route today in which I added quite a lot of content, making sure I regularly saved. When I had finished I closed the route but then opened it up in driver to test out the section - all the work I had done today was missing, which left me fuming. I looked in the directory folders and there are various backups of the route that have been made today (including "_autosave" versions) - is there at all a way I can regain what appears to have disappeared?

Thanks.

May sound obvious, but have you tried the 'layers' tab? may have gone onto another layer or something?

I have this sometimes - every so often, Trainz will have a wobbly and crash, and when it reloads it won't save anything. It comes up with the save dialogue, but if you save the route, it isn't actually saved :evil:
I came across this when I thought I'd been saving my new version of Wendsey all day (as in, I'd been using Ctrl+S every half hour or so) , but then when I went to quit the game, it told me I hadn't saved it yet! What I did was go into CMP, and open both Wendsey and the AUTOSAVE routes in Explorer, and copy everything except the config.txt over from AUTOSAVE into the route (Make sure the autosave hasn't been overwritten by a different route first!). That seemed to fix it for me.

Hope that helps,
James :)

Thanks James, that seems to have worked - I have only lost around 5 mins work now, so that'll be easy to catch up on. :)
