Hello, I don't know how else to explain this, but one of my maps has mysteriously vanished. I did not make backups (although I realize that I should have and will now)! It was saved in the RPG folder in OneDrive.
Do you know if there is a way to get it back?
For reference, I did not physically or "accidentally" delete it. If I had, I would have at least gotten an "are you sure?" message.
Somehow, it just...disappeared. I've worked extremely hard on that map and I don't know if I can recreate it, much less its complex events.
Please help me if you can! Thank you in advance.

Probably not,

Advise don't use one drive for saving, only for backup. The file could have been removed at any time by onedrive because it was deemed to be infected.

By vanished, do you mean not showing up in the editor despite you have the map file in your data folder?
Like your editor is not showing map ID 1 while you clearly had Map001.rvdata2?

You could have accidentally moved it from one folder to another - easy to do, and you don't get prompted to confirm. If the Map###.rvdata2 file is in the actual folder but you can't see it in your game, you could also have dragged the map onto another map, making it a sub-map of that one.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
