Question by dreadt9 · Dec 18, 2012 at 03:56 AM · projectdeletedcorruptedprogress

[NEED HELP] Broken Project

Hey, I have been working on a project for about 16 months and it has now been corrupted. It happened after I deleted some files in the Asset folder from my finder to make space. Now when I open up the project in Unity, the window doesn't open and a bug report window pops up.

PLEASE help me!!! I don't want to lose 16 months of progress!!! There has to be a way to fix this...

Thanks

Use version control! If you only lose 16 months of work but you learn the lesson, then...well...maybe you got off easy?

You can't just start a new project and move in the new assets?

If you were dragging scripts onto gameobjects for 16 months, you probably should have developed a better system for doing that anyway.

Its a large project... I wasn't simply doing that for 16 months, I was developing scripts and the game...

Well, if you have a licensed copy of unity, then you can probably contact the company and see what they say. They usually like to talk to people. But I would say that:

1) there's a good chance that it really won't take 16 more months to put back together. 2) if it does, then I think there was something wrong anyway. 3) use github, or back up your project to another drive automatically using freefilesync, or something.

You'll do it better the second time! I promise. And all your scripts are already written, right?

I deleted stuff from my assets folder once, and had the same thing happen. It sucks, I know. I bet you won't do it again!
