My level got deleted?

Postby Agent Luigi 3 » January 21st, 2015, 3:29 pm

So yeah... In case you didn't read my subtitle: I saved my level in Slot 1 of my level designer, then logged out of my computer. I come back the next day and my level is gone. :? I am on an ASUS C300 Chromebok. Can someone tell me what's wrong?

If your cookies got deleted for any reason, that deletes your levels saved in slots. They might have been deleted because you were using a privacy mode on your browser, or because someone cleared the Internet history.

In the future, saving the level as text is more reliable, and can be stored in Notepad or on Google Drive or some such program.

I'm pretty sure my cookies never got deleted... I am using Google Drive to save my text code for a new level I'm working on: the Mountain of Prosperity. Thanks for your advice though.

Shouldn't we create a new topic with a FAQ about SM63/LL Level Designer and answer all the questions that new people always have, instead of answering them all the time they create at new topic? *looks at mirror*

Or am I such a lazy person to even know we already have it?

Also, yeah, like Shroom said, don't trust the browser cookies, because they have a big chance of not working.

I guess the level can be deleted even without the cookies themselves being deleted, so: never ever ever save it to the browser's cookies anymore.

And even when saving the code as a text file, be sure to save often and in regular intervals, for the case you close the designer by accident / you open a video and Flash stops responding / Flash stops responding for no reason at all etc. - this has all happened to me already.

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

Yeah, never trust bowser cookies. They're anti-Mario. :awe:

In all seriousness though, browser cookies do often have a chance of being deleted without reason or even altered sometimes (happened to me once). Much safer to use text.
Expect something cool here soon!

I am not new, however I am using a different computer than I originally used for browser saves. I am using a chromebook I got this Christmas, and I'm guessing ChromeOS manages browser cookies differently, resulting in a save file delete.

NOTE TO CHROMEBOOK USERS: DO NOT SAVE FILES ONTO YOUR BROWSER COOKIES UNLESS YOU AREN'T CLOSING THE LEVEL EDITOR/EXITING THE GAME.

I wasn't actually saying you're new, it's because some new people have the same difficulties and the same questions as you, and it's easier and simpler to create a FAQ answering all these questions.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. By the way, just loaded my game I was working on last night in the level editor and it worked...? Plus it loaded exactly the way I left it?
