Ok, heres my problem. Im a fairly new scenario deisgner (only been designing for about a year), and i downloaded reyks AoMX Editor mk.3 to aid me in the production of a potential campaign, "Angel of the Apocalypse." However, no sooner had I begun to use the program than very strange things began to happen. First, a display porblem occured, where the loading screen for TT turned into that of AoM vanilla. I fixed that by backing up all my scenarios, then deleting the AoM game folder and reinstalling everything. Soon after, however, I began receiving the following message whenever I tried to play a level of the campaign or play a random map game: "(XS): Error 0003: Could not compile file AI2/aomxailoader.xs", or, for the campaign, "(XS):Error 0003: Could not compile file AI2/(whatever AI was needed for that level, ex. aomxL1p7)." After all other solutions had failed, I repeated the dump process that had worked for the display problem. But I made a fatal mistake. I forgot, this time, to back my files up. As a result, I have lost 20 scenarios, including 3 campaigns and most of a fourth. And to cap it all, the problem STILL isnt fixed! Does ANYONE know what is going on with my game, and how to fix it?
many thanks, and heaps of praise to whomever can help me
EDIT: The problem seems to occur as soon as any changes have been made to any of the game files (for example, inserting anim files for my mods, reconverting the protox/techtreex to insert the mods/techs ive created into the game, placing any of the scenario files that ive recreated since my..."accident" back into the Age of Mythology or My Games folders, etc.) It's almost as if the game begins having problems again as soon as any file that isnt brand-new (i.e. has been backed up to an alternate location so as not to be removed before the uninstallation & subsequent reinstallation of AoM/AoMX) is returned to the file where it belongs. So...does anyone know whats going on?
many thanks,
The Dwarf
