Corrupt FLP file!
Help neededWhen I want to load a specific song I'm working on, it gets this error:
'An error occured while reading the FLP file. It may be corrupted, or some plugin caused an error while opening.' (see attached image)
There's nothing wrong with the plugins, I only used vst's like vanguard and toxic and saxlab. They work in other songs so it's probably corrupted...
Now my questions:
- how can this be? Don't think I did something special last time a was busy with that file.
- Can I restore it? Are there maybe temporary files somewhere on my pc to restore it?
Thanks on fronthand! =)

i really doubt if you can repair a corrupt file like from FLP (or live, reason, protools,...). the only thing you can and need to do is not always just "save", but "save as", when you do a big change in your project. like that you can always return to an older version when the last version goes corrupt or when you saved when you shouldn't have (like accidently saving after accidently deleting everything... it do happen! ).
the reason for the corrup file could be an error while writing onto you HDD. if you are lucky, than FLP has an autobackup-function. backups are normally stored in the map of your project.

Maybe this helps..didn't try it so I don't know if it works...
Nope doesn't work, same with the programming (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3577).
If I open the file in a hex editor there are only zero's.. Even though the file is about 1 Mb :s
Looks like I'm fucked. Foreplay was nice though. But thanks for the fast replies!

I had that to few times with a reason file I think it was caus I didn't close/save the program right.. And I also think there is no way to restore it... I lost few good ideas caus of that to its crap
Ah join the club, i had same thing yesterday with a remix i was working on for more then 3 weeks.
Anyway, FL makes automatically a backup (it's in the folder 'trash bin' in your fl folder), in case you didn't open a new project so far you can try the backup. 2nd chance is the fl recovery tool,

i heared people saying it saved their project.but i tried it, didn't work for me, too bad.
Best thing to do is from now on remember making backups every hour you work on a track, cause it is very depressing when you get this thing.
Rule nr. 1: Thou shall press ctrl+N at least every session.
I end up with 20 flp files of 1 project. I don't lose shit ;)

Also didn't work for me, thanks anyways.
And yeah, from now on I'll keep pressing CTRL + N 'till my nose and ears start to bleed. Serves me right too :(
