Bad News to the extreme!!! - G-Force Junkie - Feb 28, 2007
I hate to say this, but im totally devastated.......My Kahuna file is corrupt it says "THE PARAMETER IS INCORRECT" ive tried everything to no avail:twisted: Ive got it stored on another disk, but it hasnt got all my new stuff on it
And i simply just cant try and do it over again......i refuse to.So i guess its the end of Kahuna......and the Medway is somewhat dated.I guess im gonna stick to doing smaller things now.....

Quote:Your park file got corrupted. You lost ALL your work!! No, you didn't. There IS a way, and the game is your savior.
To salvage it, do the following:
Open "My Documents/RCT 3/Parks"
Locate the park file name, you will see TWO files
They are: "MyPark.dat" and My Park.dat.bak"
In this order re-name the "My Park.dat" to My Park.old"
Now with the other "My Park.dat.bak" remove the .bak and you are set.
As a note, remember, when you choose to save, do NOT click save until the files are done scanning. Doing so before is the MOST common cause, but there are other ways as well.
any use?

.bak files are quite useful but very dated on saving

What on the back-up disk i created?    I use the "New scenario folder" to store my parks in, and thats what there in.....when i open up the relevant folder, i see the bak and dat files, should i re-name these as you have instructed?
I really want this to work as ive some great work done on it.
RE: Bad News to the extreme!!! - Jag100 - Mar 3, 2007
just remove the .bak but keep the .dat on it
RE: Bad News to the extreme!!! - G-Force Junkie - Mar 11, 2007
It wont let me re-name the files, seeing as its only a read only disk
i may aswell accept it......ive got some great new ideas though, but im gonna keep it all low-key though
