Road's get deleted upon program crash
« on: May 17, 2012, 11:04:36 am »

Most of my time spent with the Outerra program so far has been enjoying the flexible road editor, however, occasionally I have experienced crashes that have resulted in the loss of my roads. It has been a bit frustrating doing roads multiple times. I really respect the work you've done and the achievements made in creating Outerra, so am purely putting this here to let you know.
I'll continue to enjoy Outerra and look forward to more :D

Does it lose all the roads or just the one you are editing?

Just the one I'm editing at the time of the crash, meaning the only safeguard is starting a new road every now and again

I see, the problem is that before the road changes are applied, the previous state is removed and apparently the road data are also saved at that point, so when it crashes the road is not there.

Hmm, I'll see what can be done about it.

I had the same problem a few days ago. I think a fat lot about that, because Anteworld are still in a alpha demo mode.   ::)
