You do know that the toolset has made a backup of a slightly earlier version of your mod, don't you? It is in your modules directory with the extension backup.

Depends what's the type of corruption - I had one case that doomed my first two modules :/


Best solution is to keep many backups (think what is the maximum time you can afford to loose, then try to save in such intervals '<img'> )

Is it a problem with one map in the module? Does it crash the Toolset or crash the game on opening or what?


 


There are usually some options in some of those cases. Sometimes you can narrow down the likely problems by removing things several at a time until you know what the issue is. If something won't open in the Toolset, you can sometimes use Alia or Leto to get to it and remove potential problems.

               NWN Explorer is another tool that sometimes lets you extract the good components from a bad module.

basically it does not load saying that either the file is corrupted OR not enough room on the Hdrive....second one is out of the question so it has to be corrupted. Doesn't do anything else

If you want to send me a PM with a pointer to the module I can take a look. I don't promise anything, but I have some tools that may fix it up.
