Title: Corrupted map file?
Post by: Aternox on July 01, 2021, 12:57:12 pm

I tried to load a map this morning and it just loads an empty map as though nothing as been edited

Hosting the map via a local server, the console gave the error: unable to find find ground_paint_saved_magic for sco scn_mp_custom_map_X

Doubtful anyones come across this error - I never have. But I assume the map is unusable now

Never come across this before, but if you want send me your sco file and scene code and I'll see if I can figure it out

That would be much appreciated, though I've just opened the file in a text editor and seen the format seems messed up compared to other map files, so think it's pretty much lost now. Here it is in anycase:

So good and bad news, it's not exactly corrupted, but it's also not present... in other words, what you have contains 0 props and items, yet 242kb of data...

I suspect what's happened is at some point the game files have reset, which is backed up by the scene code you have- this is identical to the default for custom maps except a differing outer terrain- unless this is intentional, I'd have said the correct scene code was missing.
To summarise, I'm sorry to say but the file you uploaded is not usable as a map :(

As you also have been receiving an error when loading this file I also wonder if there's more to it, I'd suggest backing up your game files and running verify game cache through steam to reset everything to default. I didn't receive the same error when loading in. Hope this helps, and sorry again to be the bringer of bad news.

damn, too bad I didn't back it up - I've got to remake it

I edited the ground textures yesterday  - and given the error message I think that's what messed it up somehow. Odd though as I had already edited the ground texture before that

Going to back up the map before editing any ground textures this time
