SFF File Completely Wiped Itself

Subject says it all. I went to work on my character in Fighter Factory 3 and the whole Sprites section was empty. Oddly enough the size of the file is still 49kb. I haven't opened it with anything other than Fighter Factory 3 and Fighter Factory Ultimate. Has anyone had a problem like this and if so, and if possible, is there any way to get my spritework back? Thank you.

Do the character sprites still show up in MUGEN or have you not got that far yet?

Thanks for the quick reply. No, the sprite files don't show, MUGEN crashes and says it was unable to read the file.

It may be lost for good but if you would like to upload it I can take a look. If you’re super lucky the file’s header is just messed up.

Ah jeez. I was meticulously color separating everything ;(
I wasn't far at all anyway, it's just going to be a pain to do them over again.
Here's a link to the file if you'd like to see if it can be saved, albeit at this point you'd need some serious defibrillators.

Sorry man, that file was totally empty. I am guessing Fighter Factory closed unexpectedly while saving your file, I can't think of any other reason for that to happen.

Shucks. Any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening?

Saving a separate back-up often. I do this with any work that I have a lot of time in.

I keep my work files in dropbox. That way there are version histories too. Save something wrong? Redownload an older version!

Never use the elecbyte template is the other part of this one. People never believe me but it is possible to stuff your sff with that as well as your air file.
