Oh, well, I was warned that this would happen at some time or another, but I didn't think it would happen to me... :(

I tried importing a hold I exported from Build 22 to build 26 (I wasn't here since Sunday, so I'm a little behind), but I got an error message stating that the file was corrupted. However, the hold name appeared on the "Where?" screen, so I clicked on it, and tried to edit it. DROD suddenly closed itself and so, thinking it was just some sort of accident, I re-opened it. This time, the "build" button worked and I thought I could edit the hold, but even though the rooms were all in the correct positions, the map showed a weird collection of dots with rooms having no borders, and the preview screen showed blank, empty rooms completely surrounded by walls, with the "Room is Required" box un-checked. DROD then closed automatically when I tried to edit a room, so I can't do anything with the hold now... .The descriptions of the hold and levels are fine though.

I suppose I've learned my lesson...

I'll just have to re-create the levels by hand again...

But I also thought you'd like me to report the bug as well.

Do you know how we can recreate the bug?

Here's the corrupted file (To anyone else viewing this, please don't download for playing reasons yet - I'll release a proper and playable version later).

Ack, there is definitely some extra (unneeded) data at the end of the file, and it's causing things to get all messed up.
