I don't know what happened, but I think I messed up something whilest it was saving.
But my Object Data is all messed up.
Its replaced all my Object Editor information with TRIGSTR_###.
# being a number.

Is there any fix for this? Otherwise I kinda have to retype up every ability and unit in the game. Quite lame.
Everything works fine, just my tooltips are screwed.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix this?
Really depressing lol.

My Triggers are fine, just Object Data.
Here's a Screenshot:

I have to say that I never have seen something like that happening.

I know that WE crashing while saving tends to corrupt the file being saved and there really is no way to fix that - that's why you should always have multiple copies of your maps.

Maybe pressing CTRL + D twice in the Object Editor does anything but I highly doubt that.
In that case, the map is pretty much corrupted (I'm amazed you can still open it in WE).

Sorry.

Eh, I am just going to save another copy. And rechange all the values.
It's basically just the Tooltips and names that did not save.
So i just need to do a hellofalot of typing and redo all my names and tooltips.
Eh, suppose its worth it :/

[in future im going to backup everything lol]

I saw this before once, map file is damaged. I dont know if you can save anything from it.
Happened to me when the power supply ran out while saving a map.

Didn't hit me too hard, i'm quite lucky.
Only lost alil Object Data, it was near the end of the saving.
I just saved the map as something else, and now I'm recreating the missing data.

So, not all hope is lost.
Thanks for the support though.

If you tested your map with the Test Map action within the WE itself prior to saving, you should be able to recover the tested version of the map from the Test folder.

It happened to me a lot when JASS compiling errors showed up and the WE was lagging.

Oh, you know thats a really good point.
But i have re-tested the map now.
Does it over-write? sigh.

Yes, unfortunately it does. If only I had seen this earlier. The only solution now is to rewrite everything.

Yeah, thanks anyway. Will remember that for next time.

And well I'm already 85% completed retyping lol.
