I end up with 100's of near identical files but at least ive got enough copies to go back to if if there is ever a problem. One problem I had was moving frames, When i made Buzz the squirrel 2 (with TGF) i encountered a problem where I couldn't move frames without the whole thing crashing so i has to have my levels in a strange order. That was fine because i usually use 'Jump to frame' rather than 'goto next frame'. .

I've designed many things with 800+ events, and as long as you know what the hell your doing, you shouldn't have any crashes. Even game performance will stay at a maximum if you have common sense and work cleanly. For example... don't let events constantly loop if they aren't needed. Don't do this. Every 0.5 If Object Exists --- Do something to it. Do this instead. If Object Exists Every 0.5 --- Do Something to it. Simple stuff like that will make the program have to make much smaller loops, and improve performance. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame

I mean, I've learned a few things to beware in MMF 1.5... Like, if you delete any qualifiers from an object, do it one at a time, checking each time that the qualifier's truly gone. Or, if you're dealing with an extension object that stores its own graphics (like the Text Blitter or Alpha Channel), don't ever delete or create any of them during runtime, and always keep at least one instance on the level. But still... seeing that bad object appear is always so horrifying. I always go into super-quarantine mode whenever I see one. Go Moon!

But yeah, it's been said many times before: Keep backups and save your work often. n/a

As harsh as this sounds, I find myself repeating it whenever someone loses important data. It's a real frustrating problem, but I hope you'll backup in future. I back up my work to USB and I also save multiple versions of each file as I go along. Simply go to File>Save As, as opposed to just saving. This way if one corrupts you'll have another version of it from not too long ago. It also helps if you make a major change and then decide you don't like it. However it would be good if you could send that corrupted file to Francois on clickteam.com he's often looking for bad object examples to study so that he can try to fix the problem. Good luck with your next project.

I have been backing up Hasslevania with two files, and at the end of the day another file. So right now I have about 20-30 backup files that have the date in the filename (ex. BACKUP-HV-032707). MMF1.5 crashes on me on occasion, but as long as you have the backups, you're golden. -- "Del Duio has received 0 trophies. Click here to see them all."

Hayo Stone Goose Registered 8/15/2002 Points 6440	27th March, 2007 at 12:53:25 PM - Oh crap, that sucks, the same thing happened to me when I worked on a new game for two days and it started to be pretty cool. I first killed all the people that told me to make backups (NOBODY makes backups of everything every day), then I just restarted the project and it actually turned out better than the first one, just like WillWill said. So in the end I was happy MMF2 fucked me. www.hayovanreek.nl
