Hello! I was working on my horror game called Claustrophobia, and I deleted it without knowing. This is a super important project that I need to recover. Luckily I remembered that I had some old .zip builds in my google drive, but when I uploaded it, it said: ‘Error missing hashes.json’ Does anyone know if there is anyway in this world to recover my project?
If you have published builds in zip files, those cannot be imported to the Editor to work on, those are just published builds.
You can only import the project that was exported, but not published.
Unless you have an exported version, or somebody cloned it (not sure you can find our who), I don’t think there’s another copy of it to recover from.
Alright. Thanks for responding!
what is the difference between export and publish?
Honestly I think your best bet is to run the build on itch.io or something and manually recreate everything visually. You at least should have all the textures and audio and other assets, and possibly the scripts might be in a readable format. If you think about it the only thing you lost completely is the engine scene data, which isnt really that big of a deal unless you had alot of stuff in your scenes. Someone really should make a tool to convert a scene from a build to a scene in engine, but im not sure how technically possible that would be.
thanks @ALUCARD I’m currently recreating it, and you’re right I still have a lot of the assets. It’s actually not as bad as I thought and I am recreating it at a fast pace, and have not had any bugs yet.
