      Hello everybody.              25 Oct 12 04:38, I wrote to all:               ac> I don't think you actually lose any messages but the index seems to        ac> get corrupted somehow. The way I fix it is to run sqconver (from        ac> MSGAPI/SMAPI/XMSGAPI) over the broken msgbase, then replace the        ac> original msgbase with the newly created one. Obviously you wouldn't        ac> want to do this while HPT is trying to toss messages into it, though.              Actually it turns out I'm still getting "MSGAPI: MERR_NOENT: File/message does       not exist" errors even after running sqconver, which is pretty weird when you       think about how sqconver is supposed to work.              I might try getting sqconver to convert the base to *.MSG format, then back to       Squish format.              Or I could just not use Squish format, I suppose. On modern PCs with new       filesystems, having few thousand *.MSG files in a single directory is not a       big deal.              --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20110223-b20110223        * Origin: Blizzard of Ozz, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (3:633/267)    |
