.:QUESTION/HELP:. PB2 Adv. Level Editor "can't load a map"?

Postby Cool_Guy88 » 4 November 2020, 12:15

ok so i just finished creating my new map and i wanted to update it and then this popped up, pretty much nothing else appears other than characters.
in the map there were originally a ton of stuff, triggers, timers, all the stuff you need, now it's just actors

i didn't save the map when i saw this, i'm scared that i'll be saving only characters lol
you can still play the map, but you can't edit it
(the map id is cool_guy88-us_cs1 if u wanna know)

this pops up:


anyone knows what happened? what's the reason it happened? and can it be fixed?
thanks

Hey Cool_Guy88,

I suspect that your map has been corrupted. This might have happened due to an incident involving corruption of database happened in 2015. This may result in part of your map deleted.

To verify (not fix) this, attempt to download your map as an xml file. (NOT pb2map file)

Next, open your xml file with notepad (or any other text editor). You should see something like this.
Spoiler: Show More


Put <test> and a newline at the very start of the file.

Put a newline and </test> at the very end of the file. (scroll to the very right end of the file and press ENTER)
Spoiler: Show More


Save the file. Upload it to https://www.freeformatter.com/xml-validator-xsd.html. If you have done it correctly, you should see this screenshot.


If you have done it correctly and it still shows error, it means that your map has been corrupted.

If this is within your ability..
To try to fix this, try solving the issues stated by the xml validator. Perhaps there is a missing tag like </player> or missing letters.

Alternatively, you may send me the file so I can attempt to salvage the map for you.
