I don’t know for sure if the crash is because of the String issue or the fact that while I had my scenario open in edit – I lost power to my computer and it shut down in the middle of editing it… Yeah, it was a bad night last night.

After spending the whole day and night, creating it with a friend illustrator, the computer power supply just went off at 4 o'clock in the morning, when it was almost finished. The backup diskette was corrupted. You don't imagine the yells that the whole neighbourhood listened at that hour. Probably thought that another loony was doing a sacrificial ritual or something. I've cursed the Murphy name for the whole eternity. Needless to say that we didn't slept that night, but we were able to delivered it to the newspaper, just on time. Good old days.

Eheheh. Let me guess, you just wanted to slap yourself in the face.
Don't worry I've similar stories.

Both are plausible causes. The second could have corrupted the file, specially if it was accessing the hardisk in the right moment it was powered off.

I haven't seen Rudankort here lately. But I'll PM and leave him a message.

Hit space bar in the editor and you can see where these blank spots are.

No errors found and no blank spots but a lot of warnings about "should have custom string"

That can't be it - can it?

I have created several custom scenarios and I always get a long list of custom string messages.
All affected hexes do have strings so I do not know why the program complains.

Those are just "warnings" so they shouldn't be an issue. I think it is nothing more than a nice way of letting you know that "Paris" might be a better city name than "City".

If your PC craps out during a save probably only parts of the map (and other stuff) was saved. The rest of the map is black/empty.

I think with my issue though it is because my PC loss power in the middle of editing the scenario. The file must have been corrupted.

........... Although it would be nice to have an official word on that from one of the devs.

If not, the problem is something else and I would need to look at your file to tell more. Please send it to rudankort@rsdn.ru, I'll check.
