Fail

-UNKNOWN DEMISE TRACK-

Well, what happened was I was uploading the track but I decided to make a quick youtube video of it
so by accident I pressed the button for the simulator on the editor and unfortunately I saved the track blank
took me 2 months to make and I am quitting no limits
I might make it again but I don't feel like it after what happened

NL2 automatically creates a backup. Did you try that?

I don't think he knows. How does one retrieve the backup?

Sadly it's a No Limits 1 track.

As dumb as this may sound, but it sometimes works, try a System Restore.
You might not have your most recent changes back, but at least you would have something.
I know System Restore doesn't always bring back files but it has for me in the past.
It might be worth considering.

Wait, what?

Can't you just download the file you uploaded to the exchange?

[TTD03]

Yea I noticed that, isn't the track here on the site, as Bottom_Feeder said, you could just download it again.

Idk if I said this clearly but I said that I was going to uplad it, but I wanted to make a vid. so I was still in the upload screen making my youtube vid, and the accident happened. I just uploaded it taking the chances that it was loaded as the coaster but its just a blank file.

Can you explain in more detail step by step? I??????m confused and curious as to how accidently saving a file that had a track in it become blank.

The only way I can see it is that somehow he hit a button or 2 that deleted all the contents of the track, and then he hit save. Then if I remember correctly that NL1 Editor deletes all Undo data after you hit save. That's how I think the error occurred.

What i did was

I went into the editor,
then I pressed the button that makes you load the track into the simulator
what I didn't relies was that I thaught if I clicked on the file that was my track I go to the simulator and ride it, but somehow It came up as Save or cancel and I pressed Save and then it saved it as blank

Oh I see, because in NL the ride needs to be saved in order to ride it - so when you thoguht it was opening your ride it was actcually saving the blank file so it could be ridden.

System restore isn't a bad bet to be honest - have you tried that yet?

If it doesn't work - just take the experience you had from creating that ride and make something better

thank you mkingy and I already tried system restore.. it restored one of my pics I made that was crap and that's it..

Sorry to hear this, hopefully this won't happen again.
