I'm seriously angry. I've been working on this stupid competition game ever since the start, devoting hours of each day to it. Now, the main ingame level is corrupted. I've fixed it multiple times, but then it corrupts again. I'm not sure if I should continue this.
I would post the latest working build here, but I've gotten no response from my DCmails about if we're allowed to this time.
Don't you have any backups? I always have about 4 backups on every .cca file that I am working on and I save/overwrite them in a continuosly order so that they are all different.
I didn't learn that before something similar to what happened to you happened to me though so if you don't get your game back then just learn from it and keep alot more backups.
So you want us to decide if you're to quit the community just because your games corrupted? I haven't recieved any DCMails from you by the way, but you've still got time to make a game. Don't quit.
YAYS I fixed it. I can't see any of the actions from my old events BUT IT WORKS. That just means I can only add things to the game, and edit the graphics. No editing the ingame level. Better than nothing though!
I've had many, many years of stuff like this happening to me - mostly from the old Games Factory era - limit bugs etc, but plenty in Fusion too.
When a fusion/tgf game becomes corrupted somehow the problem never really goes away, you must copy objects into a fresh new project (open a whole new Fusion2 alongside) paste them in and then paste in your code - this may result in sound effects going missing, to solve this paste the entire "corrupt" level in as well (and delete after).
All this might sound patronising if you have already done it but yes, I learned the hard way to "save as" every 5 minutes, clickteam software fucks up ALOT(you have to take the rough with the smooth). Any game i'm working on that I remotely care about ends up with thousands of different backups lol
Good luck and let me know if you want me to check the file out myself.
Remember you are not alone, this has happened to alot of us!
I've NEVER had a corrupted MMF source, and only a few TGF ones. I also used the copy/paste method, it worked for me. And yeah, try to backup every now and then, and when you make any major changes.
I've never ruined a TGF game, but i've had a million mmf and knp games go bad.
I once had ~100 frame knp game get corrupted on frame #99.
The worst I've seen with TGF is mysterious game crashes, but those seem to go away if you compile it as an .exe with windows 95 compatability mode for windows XP
Phizzy - I've seen a KNP game with about 125 frames that didn't explode. (The Flags of Doom, remember anyone?)
That could've been a certain version of KNP though.
You want anger? I spent 2 weeks on a report that was worth 12% of a 4-credit subject, then just as I was about to print it, my pen drive went corrupt. I had 3 backups stored, and ALL of them went corrupt (as all of them were on the same pen drive). The pictures we took were lost, all that trouble translating my report, flowcharts, input/outputs.. all gone. And it went out exactly a few minutes before the deadline. Didn't do the work in the last minute, all we did was print it last minute.
So... yeah.. it was very, very annoying, especially since 12 marks mean the difference between an 4.0 and a 3.0 on the subject. So in my anger, and adrenaline pumped rage, I managed to rewrite the whole report in 6 hours, well past deadline. Then I collapsed and my partner sent it (I hope). Was kinda too tired to do anything the next few days. Don't know how much marks would be deducted for a late report, but it's better than nothing.

Who want to make games for it or for self respect anyway? What gives? No more than a copy of Shiny New MMF 2! I tell you!!! I was thinking that making games was for fun, and for making others happy!!! Make others feel good for playing it...
Since I joined these sites, it's all for self respect and honor... I've being left with nothing! It suck!!! All I think is about myself!!! And only myself!!! Getting more TDC stars, and so... Fuck it!!! I wanted to make the world better, and I was ended as Zvadiah, the villian of the story!!!
I didn't do it, for no reason but respect!!! Which is doesn't even real!!! I have no real friends in real life, and everyone who sees me, runs away, even if I just speak!!! This suck!!! TDC Suck hard!!! Newgrounds suck ass hard!!! Pixeljoint fucked up aid!!! Made they die for their self respect game, that is controlled by God or by total randomness of logged on users!!! Fuck it!!! What's the matter anyway!!!

I've had many corrupted files while working in TGF/MMF... I once managed to create a sub-group in MMF, it was by accident but it did actually work! The only problem was that it was really unstable to work with so I didn't really have any use of it...
