Game Help / Map making issue/I lost all my progress due to unique glitch?
« on: April 15, 2017, 09:36:39 pm »
So I've been working on a map for a very long time. It's a city map, and it has quite a few objects (it was nowhere near done, but there were plenty of objects in there), and I believe the problem I'm having is a bit unique?
I was messing around and I think I flew a bit too high or out of bounds, and there's pretty much no hope for me getting back to where my map is. And, whenever I press "Test" in hopes of the character somehow falling back into somewhere recognizable, I end up crashing. My little pointer to show where I should be is nowhere to be seen.
The only notable change I can see when I try to fly back ANYWHERE is the yaw, which changes as I look around, but none of the coordinates change when I try to fly anywhere, so I think I might be locked in place.
So, it's not a problem with loading the map, and I don't think it has to do with objects being too laggy, because I had a pretty good frame rate before this happened.
I'm pretty savvy when it comes to map making/editing things/fixing problems with my own game, but I have no idea where to even start with this. I'm willing to post any screenshots/information you may need to help me fix this problem, because I'm kind of desperate.
Is there any way I can recover my work? Or is it lost forever?
UPDATE: So, I can successfully press "Test" now and have my character fall down into the top right corner of the map, although it takes a while. But, still, I can't seem to get my camera back to a position where I can add new things to my map. Is there any way to reset the camera?
