tracking down a lost level.

fps · Post by **fps** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 6:44 pm

I was working on one of my outdoor levels a while back when rf edit pro started chrashing constantly. i started making back up files with similar names but for some stupid reason i didnt give them any real rhyme or reason of order. i have the compiled level so it will work in the game but it is not done. i had stoped working on it for a time and i dont remember the name of the file. ive been searching through my files but there are many and the are in several folders.

Is there an easy way to check a compiled level for its associated work file so that i can locate it specificall by name?

the files are all things like.

BlackRockLowerAlpha
Brla
BlackRockLowerAlpha2
brla20
ect...
thanks,

You want to find your map somewhere in your computer or did I get it wrong? Just press start->search

its not quite that simple.
there are many versions (backups) of this map with varring degrees of modification. only one is current, but i cannot seem to find which one is the same as the one i am running in my game currently because the edited level is named differently than its compiled counterpart.
i simply want to know how to check the file i select under the load level dialouge to see what the name of the file was that it was compiled from was and possibly the folder directory it was saved under.
is there a way to do that?

you can search for when it was last modifide, or put it into date order, that should give you the latest one you edited.
so as ltforce mentiond, search for your file, put in a date, if you know the date then it should come up, if you dont put a aproxamate date in then you should be able to find it.
