My map killed itself

[Crook4Money]

I had things added to my map via the map editor and I scripted a toll booth in it as well which was working. When I went to add an additional script to my working toll both the map stopped loading and my script got deleted somehow. On top of that none of the vehicles will load in that I put in via the map editor unless I'm using the map editor now. I have no idea what happened. How do I keep that from happening again?

I see now that if you save over the map in the editor it deletes your resources. Least I have an explanation for that. Guess just not saving in the editor would solve that problem.

Had this happen to me more than once, I lost many hours of work this way. The solution for me was to always back up my files and use the map editor just for mapping, not as a script test environment

Yeah, luckily I only had a toll booth in the map and had an older version of my script that took only about 15min to correct. Just started with a fresh map since the previous one would no longer load and had a backup test map so I could get the coordinates for all my vehicles for use in a script. All in all was quite the learning experience.
