  • 12 hours of work gone after crash- very frustrated. Any way to repair tscn file?

I have been saving my game scene files every half hour or so.

I was editing my scene and about to make a new copy of the whole project, when the editor crashed and overwrote my save file. Now I get an unexpected end of file error. All the data looks to be correct in the .tcsn file.

Is there anyway to repair a tscn file? I do not want to recreate 10 hours of work from memory.

EDIT: I realized I uploaded my old backfile- here is the current file that will not load. (Im sorry)

What exactly were you doing when the program crashed? Also, when do you get the unexpected end of file error? When you load up the project? After glimpsing over your file and one of my own one of the differences I noticed was that lines 139 to 147: many of your connections are connected to "." while none of mine are. No idea if that makes a difference tho.

I had cut a section of nodes at end of the tscn to do a save as without those nodes.

It gives the error at start up.

I will look at 139-147.

Nope I removed those lines and nothing changed, same error. I also went thru all dependencies and and reloaded them. Did not help.

Are you on Windows? Recuva can restore deleted or corrupted files.

https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva

It may not be the most recent version, but you might be able to get to 1 hour back in time or something. Just keep in mind it doesn't always work, it depends on what happens with the system after the file is damaged.

Nope- the recovered file was unreadable.

I wish there was a way to see this file in godot editor and see which line is throwing error.

I mean it's not the end of the world, but still very frustrating.

The most likely problem is that some resource got damaged and can't be loaded. The tscn file refers to resources like this:

ExtResource( 12 )

But you'd have to somehow figure out which id number means what, and which specific resource is the problem. How to figure that out, I don't know.

I think you have the right track there was no number 11- So I renumbered last 3 and new error:

Parsing error.

then in terminal:

ERROR: res://Level_00/Level_00.tscn:33 - Parse Error: Can't load cached ext-resource #14
   at: _parse_node_tag (scene/resources/resource_format_text.cpp:255)

ERROR: Index p_idx = 1 is out of bounds (edited_scene.size() = 1).
   at: remove_scene (editor/editor_data.cpp:531)

I think that's progress ??

Resource paths and their corresponding ids are listed at the beginning of the file inside ext_resource elements

[ext_resource path="res://global_sprites/quit.png" type="Texture" id=1]

But I'm not sure a corrupted resource would generate 'unexpected end of file' error. Unless the message pertains to the resource file itself.

I'd first inspect all Script and PackedScene external resources (listed at the start of file) and check if any of them are visibly corrupted. Also check their external resources and so on.

@jbskaggs said: there was no number 11- So I renumbered last 3 and new error:

Renumbering may cause additional problems. Skipped id shouldn't be a problem if nothing in the rest of the file refers to it.

From what I can tell, the "unexpected end of file" is just the generic error when it can't load. So you won't know what the actual problem is. I was guessing that it was a resource issue, since that makes sense (something was open when it crashed and got corrupted). Some other people had the same problem too but there was no easy solution.

Thank you all!

Here was issue: resource indexes were wrong. And one scene "shooter.tscn" was corruputed and would crash my sys everytime I tried to open it.

Removing all references to "shooter.tscn" and fixing the index I know have 99% of my scene working! yay!

This was a good process as it is wise to understand ths file structure.

The missing 11 by itself is probably not the problem. That could happen maybe if there was another resource at some point and it was deleted. It would only be an issue if there was an ExtResource( 11 ) somewhere later in the file and it couldn't find that id (but it doesn't look like that's the case). It's also possible it's something else entirely, I'm not sure. Do you remember the last thing you added to the project or what exactly was open on the screen when the editor crashed? You might be able to just remove that object (you can add it back later once you get it working).
