So, I loaded up my test game and got an error. And then AGS quit. Just like that. :(
---------------------------
AGS Editor
---------------------------
Error loading game: Inconsistent data files (scm)
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Please please please don't tell me my test game just hit scripting heaven. I had lots of WIP modules in there! :'(
This means that somehow the two editor data files have become inconsistent with each other. Do you have a recent backup of your game?
One thing you could try is loading the game in the 2.8 Alpha and see if it can import it successfully.
AGS 2.8 can't fix it either:
---------------------------
Adventure Game Studio
---------------------------
An error ocurred whilst trying to import your game. The error was: File contains invalid data and is not an AGS game.
If you cannot resolve the error, please post on the AGS Technical Forum for assistance.
Error details: AGS.Types.AGSEditorException: File contains invalid data and is not an AGS game.

at AGS.Editor.OldGameImporter.ImportGameFromAGS272(String gameToLoad, Boolean useWizard)
at AGS.Editor.AGSEditor.LoadGameFromDisk(String gameToLoad, Boolean interactive)
---------------------------
OK

Obviously I'm an idiot and don't have a recent backup of the game. The thought only occurs when it's too late. :( There's some backup_* files in the folder, and I tried swapping them with the real ones, but still no effect.
I have a working compiled game EXE though, dunno if I can get anything out of that. And if it helps, here's the game files (http://uploaded.to/?id=60c5sa) in question. The game is void of any real content, I only use it as a "sandbox" for all my scripting work, so all I need is to get the code out of it. The rest is moot.
