Famitracker keeps crashing everytime I try to open my file about 0cc-famitracker HOT 14 CLOSED

Alright thanks for your help, I appreciate it. Also thanks for the complement on my song lol, I appreciate it.

I'm not 100% sure, but I do remember having this issue before, and the file turned out to be corrupted or something. Can you open any other files with the program?

I would recommend using the text export to create backups; those are much easier to repair if they get corrupted.

from 0cc-famitracker.

Yes, I can open other files, I recently started working on another song, and it opens just fine. Also, thanks for the tip about text exports, I will remember that.

You're welcome.

It seems that I cannot create a text backup of the finale file, so I guess the file is corrupted, but I do not know how to fix it.

from 0cc-famitracker.

Maybe try through the command line?

famitracker (ftm file) -export (output file.txt)

from 0cc-famitracker.

Sorry for not responding, I got distracted with other things. But, I dont know how to do that.

from 0cc-famitracker.

No problem!
Do you know how to use the command prompt in Windows? (If not, that's okay.)

from 0cc-famitracker.

No, I have never used command prompt, only registry editor

from 0cc-famitracker.

To make this as simple as possible, I would recommend putting the executable (0CC-FT.exe) and the FTM file in the root directory (C:/)
Then, press Windows key and R at the same time to open up the "Run" dialog, and then in the box, type cmd.exe and press enter.
That opens up the command prompt. Then, in the command prompt, type cd C:/ to navigate to the root directory, where you put the executable and ftm file.
After that's done, type this: 0CC-FT.exe "your file.ftm" -export "your file.txt" replacing 0CC-FT.exe with the name of the executable (if you changed it) and your file.ftm with the name of the FTM file that has the song. It should then create a .txt file in the root. That is your exported file. Now you can move everything back if desired.
Next, you open up 0CC the normal way and go to file -> import -> Text import, then select your file.txt and it should work then.
Hope this helps!

Ok, so I have done everything and I get a new error now. I got a screenshot and will attach it. The error says: Pattern track index out of range: expected [0,28], got 4294967295 At address 0x22050 in PATTERNS. (No txt.file was created btw)

Alright, after messing around with the files a bit, I was able to recover finale.0cc. :) I'm still working on chaos, I will update later about that. Unfortunately, I had to discard the sequence data so the instruments won't sound right. Anyway, here is the file, and I've also included a text backup in case it glitches out again while saving.

finale_fixed.zip

Thank you, I am really grateful for this. Hopefully I wont have anymore files that glitch out like this. Also, you don't have to fix the chaos file, I have already started working on a new one. Thanks again for the finale file.

from 0cc-famitracker.

Oh, no problem! Yeah, I would recommend using the text export as a backup when saving, it's leagues easier to repair when 0CC decides to go rogue again. Anyway, I like the song! Much better than I can do lol.

You can close this issue now, I don't have the permissions to close issues that aren't mine. There should be a button saying "Close issue" or something like that on this page, just click it.
