darkxess 60 Posted January 26, 2013 Ok, so ive been working on my model and after saving it to where ive got to, its now not opening again saying this: The file is P3D format if that is of any help. I didnt binarize it! I only saved it... so why is it doing this? is there anyway I can open it again, ive spent a hell of a lot of hours on this. Thanks.

[aps]gnat 28 Posted January 27, 2013 Did you save the Binarized version over the top/replaced the MLOD version of the same p3d ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W0lle 1052 Posted January 27, 2013 The model you are trying to load is definitely a binarized (ODOL) model. You can check this by loading the p3d in hexeditor or texteditor. If the first characters show "ODOL0" then it's in ODOL format (obviously). If it says "MLOD" but you still get the error then the p3d could be corrupted. Eventually you copied the binarized version over the mlod one and replaced it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W0lle 1052 Posted January 27, 2013 Yes you probably screwed up and replaced the mlod at some point with a binarized p3d. Well then... You surely have backups of your models, do you? If not then ouch. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkxess 60 Posted January 27, 2013 Well ouch... what a fool I am, I had saved it many times before and it didnt do like this, thats why I dont understand why its doing this now. :( Oh well, I would have to start again then right? there is no way at all to fix it?

konyo 14 Posted January 28, 2013 You could maybe try contacting someone who works at BIS on these forums (Long shot i know..) Maybe they might be able to unbinarize it? I dont know the rules on that. Are they allowed to do that anyway? :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
