[dicko195]

while using the editor in ba2 build 1.01 i exported a file and it will not play the new campaign. other campaigns play ok. spent many hours building an awesome base please help me retrieve the game. i have screenshots but they will not load here

Can you be more specific - what file did you export? What is the error? Did you change any other files? At what point does it crash?

Posting the contents of the error log (My Documents/My Games/BA2) will help too. You could also post a link to download the campaign itself.

Cheers

thanks for the reply Pip. I was typing a text box in the Scenario Description Exporter tool menu then hit the Export Description tab
and then I got an ERROR message. when I load the new campaign it begins to load normally then quickly goes to the ERROR Message. this is the error message....INVALID CHUNK HEADER on Line 19 in /users/(my name)/Documents/MyGames/BA2/Campaigns/DAK/DATA/UI/SCENUI_BATTLE FOR SIDI.TXT
I took a screen shot of the Details page as well. the DAK and Battle are my titles. I have since started a new campaign, I would like to retrieve the old one or delete it. I don't see any way to delete them once they are started. Any help is appreciated thanks again.

If you delete the SCENUI_ file that was created (and which is causing the crash) then everything else should run smoothly. If you can repeat the original error message that would be useful to know.

Cheers
