Map tree error... (Don't know where to put it)

[Hirochi-Zangus]

I get this message, "The map tree data is corrupt" everytime I try to open the game I'm making... PLZ HELP! I've put lots of time into the game and wish not to lose it, thank you!

Thats very sad.

Look around the forum, there have been a few topics on this error.  (Don't post in them obviously, but...)

can you not make a map in a new game call it tree map that will be map 1
 then copy all your maps in to that game if it can be done that way ?
i think you can copy all your files in to a new game
there has to be a way to fixing it

[Desimodontidae]

Map tree error is usually fatal. I don't think there's any way to save your game... I remember a tutorial on fixing it once though, but I don't think it was 100% reliable.

There is a way.
I remember Zerlina asking this some months back. And I think she managed to solve it.

This is from Kobra's Realm Forums:

1. Make a brand-new project.

2. Go into your old folder using My Computer and look for the last file with the extension ".lmu".

3. In the new project, make as many new maps as there are .lmu files in the old folder.

4. Close out the new project.

5. COPY all of the .lmu files from the OLD folder into the new one and overwrite the files.

6. Now, the size and event markers should be back on your maps.

7. COPY the file called "RPG_RT.ldb" from the OLD folder into the new one and overwrite it.

8. Now your database will be in there.

9. Copy the folders from the old project, and COPY them into the new one, overwriting them.

10. Now all your resources will be in there.

I hope that helps you.

Thanks! This should help.

I got my maps, but can't get past step 7! No matter what I copy, it won't give me my database back! Help plz.

EDIT: I just checked again and ONLY step 7 didn't work. I got resources and mapes, but no database change... please help me...

[Hirochi-Zangus]

No offense, but I really need this F***ing error fixed! I'm not going to just sit here and have my project ruined because of some dumb S***! Please help...

[Prpl_Mage]

Keep trying with step 7. If you fail, read through it again and make sure you're doing everything right.

[Hirochi-Zangus]

Thanks Purple.

[Prpl_Mage]

Is that the same as saying that it worked?

[Hirochi-Zangus]

no no no. I haven't tried yet. I hope it works... I'll bet doing it in a new project will work because I think I know what was wrong!!!

[Hirochi-Zangus]

7. COPY the file called "RPG_RT.ldb" from the OLD folder into the new one and overwrite it.

I have no clue what .ldb is! help!

EDIT: nvm! I found it...

[Hirochi-Zangus]

F*** YES! Thank you! It works now!, only problem is that I have to figure out what the names for all the places were... Aww... But At least I got my project back! Thank you all who helped me! I owe you!
