RMVX Problem

[OverlordMao 0]

For an odd reason, I tried to open my RMVX Game Data, but I got some message saying "Unexpected file format." :huh: Any idea why?

 

 

Quick Add-on: Luckily, I did very little on the game, even though it took me a long time. I may just have to remake the game if I can't deal with this problem. But still, Help with it is always nice.

I moved your topic to RPG Maker General Support.

 

Why are you trying to open your Game Data?

Maybe I should make it clearer. I'm trying to open a game in RPG Maker VX so I can continue to edit it, work on it, or anything among those lines and it keeps giving me some message saying "Unexpected File Format." in those exact words. Whats wrong? :unsure:

That makes a lot more sense. I'm not sure what is wrong so I'll let another member answer. I don't have RPG Maker VX

I had this same thing happen to me. The files got corrupted and i couldn't open it. Well there is a few things you could try. Starting a new project, Take the rmvx data files and replace yours (Exclude Map Info. Keep that.). I lost a years work due to this. Always make a backup every day.

That worked, in replacing what the message says. Now it says "Failed to load script data." Any idea what to do now?

 

*Sorry about the double post, but I got it to work now*

Make a new project, and put all the scripts you had from the broken project into it (ALL of them!). From there, copy all the files in the Data Folder except for the one called Scripts. Once thats done, the game should be ok, just under a new name, which can easily be fixed. Oh, and don't forget to copy the Audio and Graphics folders.

....Or you could just reset the open process for RMVX and make sure all of the files have the right extension, then run it. (welcome back to me :P)
