I swear to god, MMF was literally trying to convince me that the sprite I was working on all night, NEVER EXISTED, because UNDO did not go back to anything except what I was doing before I started working on the sprite. Is there a maximum ammount of animations or frames that a sprite can hold? Because other than a freak computer related accident that tragically took the life of my sprite, I can't think of any plausable reason that this could have happened, unless it was a really freakin boring and repetive daydream.

Deleted User	3rd February, 2009 at 17:59:51 - That may have been it. It seriously just deletes the entire thing? That's ludicrous!
Cecilectomy noPE Registered 19/03/2005 Points 305	3rd February, 2009 at 18:47:10 - maybe not. the sprite should still be there. just the animations were gone. its probably a bug. although ive never had it before. n/a
Deleted User	3rd February, 2009 at 18:58:42 - Well it's not, well now it is because I redid it all. It didn't kill it this time so I problably hit the cancel button, and maybe since it had alot of animations it freaked out and just removed the whole sprite instead of setting back to the last time I hit ok. Good thing for back ups, huh?

I imported 20 animations or so last night and I had to make sure I pressed the OKAY button. I think it would be a wise idea to click 'Okay' every now and then, and then save your application.

siven I EAT ROCKS Registered 03/11/2008 Points 604	4th February, 2009 at 22:42:41 - ive had it when i press ok it dissapears completely as if nothing was there, even the object dissapears. as if it was never there. wierd, only happens every once in a while. i hate it. [Game design makes my brain feel like its gonna explode.]

A good idea is after drawing/importing one animation, click okay, even if you might have more to add. That way if you do make a mistake you only lose the last animation you were working on and not all of them. n/a
OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	5th February, 2009 at 13:18:12 - Now I save every few frames (and Ctrl + C the frames before hitting ok) and create a new backup file after every animation. It takes room, but that's why I finally bought a 500GB external HDD. Haven't lost a big chunk of work in a long time now... Siven, do you use TGF1? Sometimes TGF pretends like the object disappeared, and to get it to come back, all you have to do is hit the save button or place another object somewhere. It's a weird bug. O_o Edited by OMC
Deleted User	5th February, 2009 at 15:56:12 - That's the problem, I save ALOT, and I did click okay many times, and the object still dissapeared and it was only from adding one of the animations. If I didn't have a good ammount of the animations stored in another file, I would've lost all that work for good.
