Ok.. For the last month i've been working on a secret quest. Today while working with the editor i was ready to test it. So i exited zquest and went into zelda-w... when i registered my name and chose the quest it said Unable to lode ???(not its real name).qst Invalid quest file.
So i thought i just accidently changed the quest #. But when i tried to get into zquest it said Invalid Quest file.
WHAT THE FUC@ HAPPENED? DID I JUST LOSE A MONTH WORTH OF WORK!!! I CREATED A NEW TILESET FOR THIS! NO!!

I've been using 104 to build and 139 to play. Its always worked before and all my passworded quests still work but i hadn't put a password or much on the header at all

Well, I don't think there's much you can do about that. Let it just be a lesson to make backups frequently. :shrug:

The one on the floppy doesn't work either (they were saved at the same time) DOH!:angry:

Welcome to the world of quest corruption.

I've had this happen about 6 or 7 times to me (the first time was the worst one to rebuild from). Should have made some backup .qsu files to import if it happens. I save an unencoded quest file everytime I save my quest since I started using 104.

Quests on floppy disks never work for some reason unless they are copied to the disk and not saved to it directly from Zquest.

I've had a quest get corrupted before after I added a midi.

This is why version 2.0 has the auto-backup feature, which exports a QSU everytime you save a file. (Yes, you can turn it off, but it's not recommended).

Dang it. that really sucks. i might as well tell you what it was..I was creating an Ages/Seasons mix. I had a pretty close version of the town I had made my own subrosia and all i have to show for it is two screen shots
grrrrr.:angry:

On the bright side, twas only one month of work. The cure? Start over. :-p

And this time, create backups. Or save the file two or three times each time, one or the other.
