Project suddenly went corrupt.

Post by Xiste »

I tried to create a video, and my screen went white.
Tried to open it on another computer. Same view.

Can it be fixed, or is this project now lost forever?

I don't think it's lost. If you want to try by yourself, edit the [font=courier new]Home.xml[/font] file in your .sh3d file and remove the XML elements which contains some attributes equal to [font=courier new]NaN[/font] (probably the [font=courier new]<compass ... />[/font] line from your image). Of course, make a backup of your .sh3d file first.
If making this change is too much for you, please [url=mailto:[email protected]]send me[/url] your .sh3d file or the [font=courier new]Home.xml[/font] file it contains.

Normally it's not too much for me to edit xml-files. But these are files ( like marker files) that I export to xml prior to editing them.
I could find any option to export xml form SH3D.
I have searched the forum for Home.xml, and found a lot of info about xml and Home.xml.
Like this:
To take an example: extract the Home.xml from your SH3D file...

The only thing I could not find was HOW to extract the xml-file from the sh3d-file.
This is probably so simple that it needs no explanation, but I have to admit that my meagre intellect could use a step-by-step tutorial.

Once I have the extracted xml-file, however, I think I'll be okay. :)

A .sh3d file is actually a ZIP file that you can open with any zip tool. Open it and you’ll find that [font=courier new]Home.xml[/font] in it.
