Hello everybody. 25 Oct 12 04:38, I wrote to all: ac> I don't think you actually lose any messages but the index seems to ac> get corrupted somehow. The way I fix it is to run sqconver (from ac> MSGAPI/SMAPI/XMSGAPI) over the broken msgbase, then replace the ac> original msgbase with the newly created one.

Actually it turns out I'm still getting "MSGAPI: MERR_NOENT: File/message does not exist" errors even after running sqconver, which is pretty weird when you think about how sqconver is supposed to work. I might try getting sqconver to convert the base to *.MSG format, then back to Squish format. Or I could just not use Squish format, I suppose. On modern PCs with new filesystems, having few thousand *.MSG files in a single directory is not a big deal. --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20110223-b20110223* Origin: Blizzard of Ozz, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (3:633/267) SEEN-BY: 633/267 712/848 @PATH: 633/267 |
