For a reason unknown to me FGII deleted (or reset) the contents of my campaign DB file. Now I know it was down to an incorrectly formatted xml entry, but would like some clarity:
What I did:
I opened the db file in notepad, and pasted in a new xml npc id, unfortunately the id tag contained spaces (this isnt allowed?).
When I launched FGII, an error message was displayed and FGII quit.
When I relaunched FGII, all my npc were missing
It was at this point that I noticed the campiagn DB file was only 1KB (as opposed to 35KB before).
Fortunately I create a copy yesterday, but would like to understand why the DB was reset, and whether or not the incorrect version might be stored by FGII elsewhere.
Thanks in advance.
