......And there I was giving advice in the back-up files thread. That's not going to happen to me again (yeah, right). I knew enough to save every ten or fifteen minutes, but this error caught me asleep at the switch. So.....double copies it is. Live and learn.
And as long as I'm complaining, and as I've said before, whoever designed the user interface for that map editor should be sentenced to work in DOS for thirty days.
A thought:
Most of the files (other than pictures) that SEIV uses are text files. So why do the the maps need to be binary? I even tried reading mine with a hex editor on the outside chance I could make some sense of it and repair it. I suppose it would take a significant code rewrite, but wouldn't this be easier all the way around if map files could be saved as (one or more) text files also? The binary file could then be generated from these, if necessary.
