First of all, apologies if this is in the wrong section.

I'm having a bit of a crisis. My laptop's power cut out as I was in the process of saving my game and now the editor will not read the data file.

The compiled file still runs fine by itself, but of course I can't edit it. However, I'm guessing all the data I need is still there, so if there is some way of getting at it that I don't know about and creating another .dat file, the someone please let me know!

Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't back up my games as often as I should, and this setback will cost me about a month's work. Help!

Look for the two files starting with "backup_" and replace the original files.

Doh - thanks so much. All is well and I can stop running around screaming now. Thanks!
