Addonbuilder crashed and deleted my map project folder.

Recommended Posts

As said.

After the patch Mikeros tools couldn't recognize Arma Tools Steam Install (no matter what I reinstalled) and I fired up the New and shiny Addon Builder. Packing up some vehicles worked thought it was painful to seek out mysterious errors that were not logged in any of the logfiles.. Then silly me in the morning hours thought to do some tweaks on my map.. Ran binarize once and Builder gave no errors.. The map just didn't show up in game. Ran the Builder second time AND BOOOOOM it crashed. AND deleted the whole map project folder!! >:C

I usually don't complaint about bugs and whatever on a product thats still in development but this did make me angry.. And sad as I've hoped the tools would get better.

The map folder was the only one I didn't make backup from due to the size... "Luckily" the map was quite early WIP and I have the source files.. but still really really reaaally frustrating.

Hopefully no one else runs into this.

(BI buy the tools from Mikero and save us the :C faces)

Now that I got that out gotta get back to rebuilding the damned thing. It seems some of the files are recoverable from the temp folder.

Reminder to all! Make copies from everything!

Hello,

This issue should be history since Monday's update. In addition, Addon Builder doesn't delete files anymore, but move them to the recycle bin.

In otherwise, if the issue is still true for you, please, be sure your tools suite is up to date (0.74), then, open a ticket on the FT, including as much information as possible (logs, steps to reproduce the issue, tool's diag...)
