Hello. I cannot open one of my world files. It gives 2 errors when I try to open it: File does not have a valid MUSHclient signature and Unexpected file format. Is there anyway I can restore/fix it?
Corrupted MUSHclient World File

Are those the exact errors? Can you show us the world file you are trying to open? Or the lines it may point to? OS and MUSHclient version?
Yes, those are the exact errors. They are just message boxes, no lines specified. OS is xp pro and I'm using MUSHclient version 3.50.
Open up your world file in a text editor, take a look for anything that looks out of the ordinary. Create a new world and take a look to see the general format.
I'm sure it's possible to recover most (if not all) of the information, or at least the information that wasn't overwritten/deleted (or whatever else happened).

It is totally blank. Just 49KB of spaces. The last time it worked, my computer froze when I went to File -> Save. Going to have to keep a backup from now on. :)
I doubt if it is spaces. Try using Ultra Edit or an editor that edits in hex.
I doubt it can be fixed. Is this an old version of MUSHclient? New ones write out XML files that should be easily patched.
However if it really has turned into 49Kb of junk then the only thing is to go to backups, if you have them.
