v4.1.1.stable.official [bd6af8e0e]
So, I was working on a game in Godot when it told me I can’t run the file because I didn’t have enough space on my PC. So, I closed out and cleared some space, and now for some reason half of all of my scenes are gone. Like random nodes and scenes are missing. Does anyone know what to do??
when it corrupts, it corrupts, did you do version control or a backup?
Lol. I am very new to Godot. Idk what a version control is but I did export it recently. Is there anyway that I could reimport that??
can you open the chest scene?
then you will need to recreate the chest scene, delete current corrupted scene, and make new one
since you dont have backup
Unfortunately it’s a lot more than the chest scene that’s broken, so I think I might just be SOL
SOL? well if you want, you can check the chest scene script with notepad, and read and observe which line of code is missing there
Sorry SOL stands for (s word) out of luck. And the problem isn’t that I don’t want to recreate the chest scene, it’s that like every scene is also like that, so I would have to recreate almost every scene unfortunately
yeah, well it’s corrupted anyway, hence it’s best to use version control or a backup, so there’s somewhere you can get back to than losing all
I got it back thankfully!! I found this tool called Godotre that was able to convert one of my pck files back into the project. Thank you for your help tho!!
wow nice, first time heard that, yeah that works too since you have exported it once
ok, now set up a git and maybe gitlab or github account (or something better, but those are the easy ones) and put your project there so you have a backup XD
if you need to learn how to use git, there are plenty of resources online, but the important commands you want are: init, clone, push, pull, add, commit
it is not easy, but it will save you from situations like these
and make some space, delete those downloads you don’t need anymore XD
but… that’s literally what git does… just better compressed, and with the option to upload it online easily XD
As others have mentioned, having backup is cool. But what is interesting to me is why did all those files vanish? Did you clean up anything in the project directory itself? Or did you use some tool that automatically cleans stuff up? Do you have a log of files that was removed?
