HELP!!! Construct 2 froze, capx broken now :(

I told student I was working on fixing the file - Unzipped the original file looking at how to fix it, but in his all knowing wisdom - he deleted the file from the server while I as looking. So I have the unzipped folder - but not the original capx file.

Thanks for the link to backups - this will solve a lot of issues.

t1techno: zip the unzipped folder and post it, we can work from there.

It already does that. It saves to myfile.capx.tmp, then providing everything has saved OK so far, it deletes the .capx and renames the .capx.tmp to .capx. So I have no idea how anyone could get corrupt files. I guess these things just happen, so hopefully autobackup will help there anyway.

(For the record it does the same for every file in a project folder as well - e.g. first it saves to Layout1.xml.tmp, then if successful it deletes Layout1.xml and renames the .tmp)

Considering this, it's indeed extremely strange someone could get a corrupted file. Dropbox auto-back up would be a great idea and maybe a web-disk option for those with their own server?

The Construct 2 generate a .backup1 file for got a chance. Open this with construct 2 and be happy!
