Well, maybe you can help. I will now Paste my Editor.log file here, and attach the map itself.

I heard from someone that Varpu might be able to help me.. must get hold of him...

oh, and there is no MyLevel.utx file in my textures folder

[Varpu]

This is a short conversation at #nalicity

Varpu: ReadFile beyond EOF 650113+2/650113
GrimmEDiti: whats the nature of the error
Evil_Cope: map wont open no more. i thibnk.
Hourences: yah
Hourences: its insane
Varpu: This means that the file has been truncated for some reason
Hourences: if you even select it in ut
GrimmEDiti: waaa
Hourences: so you get the previw shot
Hourences: it allready chrashes
Hourences: just from the preview shot
GrimmEDiti: that is weird
Evil_Cope: truncated? huh?
Varpu: Means - it has lost it's tail
Varpu: symbolically speaking
*** Mode change "+l 17" on #nalicity by ChanServ
Varpu: The file has a table - export table - where all items, brushes etc are listed
Evil_Cope: aah
Hourences: so the guy is totalty ****ed ?
Hourences: cause its totaly destroyed ?
Varpu: Each item in this list has a number that is actually the position of the item in the map file
Varpu: Now there may have happened two things:
Varpu: 1) the file saving process was prematurely terminated causing the file being not completely written
Varpu: 2) the export table is fuxored up so that it point to some insane position (the error message indicates this not being the case)
Evil_Cope: so its basically ****ed.
GrimmEDiti: lol
Hourences: lol
Varpu: I have only one good advicxe for You ellows: Make backups - and make them VERY often.
Hourences: i know
GrimmEDiti: ellows = ?
Evil_Cope: it wasnt me! lol
Hourences: i got 15 differnt versions from some of my maps
Varpu: It is basically and I would like to say "terminally" ill
Hourences: on multiple ftps and hds
Evil_Cope: i recently enable the backup thing lol. yay for terrain.
Hourences: nah
GrimmEDiti: i usually keep 3-4 backups of any map im currently working on
Hourences: if the map is too big
Varpu: The UED backup is OK but I would make additional snapshots now and then.
Hourences: it will interterup your work all the time
Hourences: anoying
Evil_Cope: Mm.
Hourences: and it creates too many files
Hourences: a big map needs multiple sec too sabe
Hourences: ve
Varpu: I usually use the copy-paste on OS window. Takes care of naming etc.
Varpu: Hmmm - the zip was not too big - only 280 Kb
Hourences: map is 640 or so
Varpu: I just wonder if this map opens in UED ?
Varpu: It might do - I'll check it out
Hourences: nop
Hourences: no ut
Hourences: no ued
Hourences: no d3d
Hourences: o software
Hourences: no ogl
Hourences: nothing
Varpu: Oh - hopefully he has a backup.

I feel bad. I always get some tears on my eyes when someones work gets wasted.

Well - if You have played the map from editor You actually have backup. It is the Autoplay.unr. If You have NOT ran any map from editor - this should be the latest working copy of Your map. Hopefully it is intact.

... ahhh... then i have some bad news and good news for myself...

I remembered that I had saved the terrain brushes in there most recent state, and i built them and saved the map. I hope that hasnt over writen it. chances are it has. Thanks for your help anyway. 'preciate it

EDIT: DUDE! it worked! well, i dont have my cool lava thingy in it, but that can be redone! thanks a lot! your great!
