BoE Editor first-time problem

Author	Topic: BoE Editor first-time problem
Desert Pl@h Lifecrafter Member # 1768	written Thursday, January 18 2007 19:27 Profile #0 I moved my .exs file, copied it to my "BLADSCEN" folder, and opened it in BoE. My starting town was nothing but cave floor. I thought I must have accidentally skipped the first town, so I opened it in the Editor. As it turns out, all but one of my towns has been deleted/"cavved". Is there an explanation for this? That's like 4 hours work erased. -------------------- "Oh, North Wind, why frighten others?

Occasionally the editor seems to forget to prompt you to save and you lose your work. Anyway, I doubt the work you've already lost can be restored. Hope you've got a backup.

They were cave-i-fied, and I had created them as grass towns. *sigh* grrr EDIT: Oh hey crap, my first general protection fault error in the Editor! Wow. I have an old iMac in my closet here, I wonder if I should try on that… I was playing around in my erased scenario, opened the one non-erased town, then switched towns a few times and discovered that one of the other towns somehow copied parts of the previous town and mixed it with a set pattern of the very last terrain spot. Very odd. [ Thursday, January 18, 2007 22:01: Message edited by: Desert Pl@h ] -------------------- "Oh, North Wind, why frighten others? In Nature's family all are brothers.
