TheNerdTurtle2 Posted May 3, 2015 I'm pretty upset with myself right now... I may have accidentally deleted my map while using Slade and I was wondering if there was any way in Hell I could get it back. I already saved before I realized what I did and the map was like 6-7 hours in so I lost a bit of time there. Any way to recover this? 0 Share this post Link to post
SyntherAugustus Posted May 3, 2015 If you used a doom builder based editor, there should be backups. Slade also makes backups from I remember. 0 Share this post Link to post
TheNerdTurtle2 Posted May 4, 2015 Yeah I remember reading a post on that, thanks! But do you know where I can find the temp folder? 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted May 4, 2015 On my computer, both Doom Builder backups and SLADE3 backups are saved into the same folder where the wad is. If they're not there, try the installation folder, or "Users/yourusername/AppData/Local/Doom Builder", or "Users/yourusername/AppData/Roaming/SLADE3". 0 Share this post Link to post
TheNerdTurtle2 Posted May 4, 2015 I checked all of those folders, no temp files. Thanks a lot though, I'll just start over EDIT: The stupid thing is I always delete the backup files in the WAD folder because they take up unnecessary room.. Turns out I should stop that habit haha 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted May 4, 2015 As your very last hope, try looking into all of the Local/Temp 8-character-long folders, following the guide in this thread. One of the .temp files might be your map. 0 Share this post Link to post
VGA Posted May 4, 2015 Dude SLADE makes .bak copies of the file when it saves changes, did you delete it? From the recycle bin too? 0 Share this post Link to post
TheNerdTurtle2 Posted May 4, 2015 Yep, I'm officially stupid haha. I checked all the BAK files and none of them contain the map :/ 0 Share this post Link to post
snapshot Posted May 4, 2015 It should create a .bak file for the modified file inside the folder where you have your file, Remove .bak from file name and it should become a wad or whatever . 0 Share this post Link to post
