My computer was having a seizure when trying to copy a large file, and I realized the issue wasn't going to correct itself and I would have to forcefully reboot. I was working on Blackmoon Prophecy III at the time, so I closed RPG Maker MV and then forced my computer to reboot itself.
After getting back into Windows, I found that Steam couldn't detect MV, so I had to get it to recognize that it was still installed. When that was done, I tried to open Blackmoon Prophecy III to pick up where I left off. I was greeted with a "cannot read Game.rpgproject" error, so I copied one from another folder. Tried to open the game again, and suddenly I had the same error, but with Skills.json. I checked the Skills file and found it to be completely blank (though still with its original 100ish kb file size). Common events, monsters, items, armors, etc. All of them suddenly blank with the exception of the actors and classes files.
I've lost so much work because of this. My entire database, outside of the very empty actors and classes tabs, are gone. I've lost a colossal amount of work, and I can't even begin to wager how long it would take to rebuild the database. For the time being, I don't have it in me to even try. I just can't bring myself to redo dozens of hours of work. I do not have backups at all, so it looks like there's nothing I can do. I just feel awful about this. Though I do feel like I have a knot in the pit of my stomach right now, I'm not angry or frustrated. If anything, I just feel weirdly empty over losing so much work like this.
Unless I miraculously find a fix for this, I'm afraid that I don't think I will be continuing with this project any longer. I'll poke around for a bit, but it's looking pretty grim.
