Replay unrecoverable after full PC crash
UltimateCactus opened this issue ยท 2 comments
I was editing a replay and my computer decided to crash. I still have the replay file, and everything looks fine, but the actual replay doesn't show up in the game. I attempted to recreate a "failed to save replay" situation, wherein the game would ask at start-up if you wanted to recover it, and upon saying yes it came up with a crash message in game (the game didn't close, I can still play). I have linked a .zip file with the report, the corrupted replay and my fake replay .tmp folder (I couldn't upload it - too big).
Is it possible to manually recover this replay? From the crash report it looks like relatively simple fix, but I don't have the technical knowledge to do so.
Haven't checked if it actually plays but here is the same file with the zip error fixed, some data at the end of the replay may have been lost: https://send.vis.ee/download/66df6a7147df5e8a/#h3UiJdcoYqO1rjUJwJVX4g (download will expire)
FTR, this is what I did:
mkdir tmp
jar xvf ../broken.mcpr
jar cvf ../recovered.mcpr *
cd ..
rm -r tmp/
Thanks! I was going to use some footage from this in a video, but I am going on holiday tomorrow (as of this message) and was on a bit of time pressure so ended up not using it, but it's really good having the actual replay back!
You're a legend :)
Oh, and by the way it is all there, working.
