Topic: Error: Inconsistent data files (scm) (SOLVED)

[joelphilippage]

When I load my game a window pops up saying Error Loading game inconsistant data files (scm)
I just loaded a module into my game. Does anyone know how to fix this?

What script module? Is it just a script module or does it also contain GUIs or something?
What version of AGS are you using?

[joelphilippage]

I used the keyboard movement Module. It only uses scripting and I'm using 2.72

[strazer]

If you mean this module, it works fine for me in AGS v2.72.
If that's not it, could you point us to the actual module you're using?

Have you tried re-downloading and/or re-extracting the module? Maybe it got corrupted somehow.

And can you open your game at all? Try removing the offending module, save your game, exit and re-import the module.

I did everything right I think but I caint open my game at all anymore. I can still play it though.

Maybe your game files somehow got corrupted when you saved your game.
Fortunately, each time you save, AGS creates backups of your game files in the game's folder.

You can try recovering your game by renaming
  ac2game.dta to broken_ac2game.dta
  acsprset.spr to broken_acsprset.spr
  editor.dat to broken_editor.dat
and copying
  backup_ac2game.dta to ac2game.dta
  backup_acsprset.spr to acsprset.spr
  backup_editor.dat to editor.dat

its fixed.

[strazer]

Glad to hear it!
Did you just recover the game from the backups?

No I rechecked and I was using a shortcut icon of ags on the desktop that was of ags 2.71.
