Wow, that really sucks. Were you low on disk space? If so, madtracker couldn't save the whole file, so some samples (or parts of them) are gone yes. Can't you just reload the samples? |
what is hip?

Thats the weird thing. I have enough disk space aprox. 20 gig and i have installed 1024 DDR of memory... This sux BIGTIME!!! And reloading the samples is the only option i think... This wil cost me days to restore it... oh well Thanx anyway dude! |

Are you using the fix or the plain RC5?

Is the .bak bigger than 51 KB? I.e. does it look like it could actually contain the samples?

This is something we all should learn from, and it's something that's not limited to MT2. Save often in NEW version files! I know it's easy to say after such tragic accident, but anyway, maybe you learn something from it.. 
Hope you can rescue your module.

I worked until 3 o clock at night to restore the samples, im lucky i had made an .wav export of the file so i had an template to get the same sound again. After hours of restoring im done at last!!! Thnx all for the back up..

Did the track contained VSTs?
Maybe you want to send me that 51KB file so that I can see where the crash occured.

Keep a mix log.  It'll save your ass when that happens. Same thing happened to me with a remix of an old song of mine that I've been working on.

I don't know but from what you've given asking for a solution is impossable.. what did the error message say? what did you do before saving? what things did you do that you usually dont do?.. cause wow, and error message that only saves notes and not the samples is like super vague.. I have goten this error before but it was because I edited the file with a hex editor and messed something up. Why would I do that, I dont know just wanted to see what It looked like I guess hehe not going to do it again. |

The error message said "SAVE ERROR".
I didn't do anything different as normal, i pressed the save button once in a while during producing.
I never had this problem before, it's just so suddenly and unexpected. I realy don't know what happend because a few minutes before the saving just worked.
Im lucky i could recover everything by searching an loading all the samples again, each at a time. It cost me hours to accomplish but it was worth the waiting.
Oh yeah by the way... i didn't use vst or other external programs, juz Madtracker.
