HELP NEEDED! Hopefully someone knows how to do this..

[SgtSweatHog]

Situation:

I spent the last two weeks designing this kick as scenerio. I had the thing completed and somehow when I went to load up another new map, I ( much to my enjoyment :mad: :mad: :mad: ) over-rode the whole damn thing.

But before I did this, I gave it a quick once over in the game level. I booted up the map, played the first three turns, then shut it down.

My thoughts and my question:

I still have the Autosave copy of the map from that test run. Now I'm a programmer by nature but damned if I can figure it out. From best I can tell this is the header:

and this is the footer:

(15 spaces following by a character)

but that's about it. I would think I should be albe to extract the map code from this file so I can at least salvage some of that work I did on this puppy. I also assume that each of these files is divided into maps, briefings, units, and then the moves and present battlefield conditions (losses, etc, for each side). So I think I need to extract the map, briefing, units, BUT not the moves. I am unsure however if this is possible.

Can anyone help me here? I guess the bottom line here is "Can the map and units can be extracted from the Autosave .cmb file"?

Sorry but you can not manually assemble the files like that. We use a proprietary system for the structure and will NEVER give out info on it.

I had that before too.

Since than I always make several copies of the saved game files and I make a screenshot of the map in the editor

That way you can always redo the map if you loose the scenario

How about simply starting the autosave game and re-save it as something else?
