Yeah i followed your Instructions on the Post you mentioned and got the error: " line 0: '.': '(' encountered instead of '=' ". I aslo tried it with the Arma Tools directly and had the same issue. It did however create a backup, but both the Original and Backup were still Binarized. Sorry it took me so long to reply but me Steam account got hacked in the meanwhile 😕

Hi, thanks for the reply. I used a programm called "Data Recovery Wizard" and managed to find an older Version of the "mission.sqm" from three days earlyer. A lot happen during these three Days but im happy i managed to recover something. The only problem i have is that the "mission.sqm" was Binarized and now my Game crashes every time i copy or merge the Fiile to a "blank" Mission. Ive also tried to copy the text to a existing mission.sqm but no luck eather. When i try to un-binarize it with Arma tools i get the following error message: line 0: '.': '(' encountered instead of '=' Any tips on getting this File to work again ?

I spent the last two weeks making a Mission, ive probably spent well over a hundred Hours making it. Today i was about 99% done. When i wanted to test my recent changes (I Built a Trench and wanted to see if the player can go through it without issues) i pressed "Play in Multiplayer" like you would normally, however instead of the over 100 playable Units that i placed down, only the one that i specifically placed down to test showed up in the Role assignment. I went back into the editor and discovered that Literally EVERYTHING except that last playable Unit that i placed down was gone. If you press "Play" the Mission will autosave and therfore overwrite itself. Is there a way to recover the older Version of the "mission.sqm" ? Im willing to try just about anything at this point as recreating a mission with over 100 Playable Units that all have indevidual Loadouts, all the custom Vehicles and especially all the scripted Triggers will be a Pain to recreate and honestly my motivation to do so is also gone after this ordeal. (sorry for any spelling mistakes, english is not my native languidge.) Please Help 😕
