I was working on a procedural character movement control rig file but when I used binding pin on a multiply node’s third pin, the project crashed and it refuses to be open if I don’t delete the complete control rig file which is quite large and complicated.
I’ve tried bRecompileOnLoad setting in order to be able to open the file but the project doesn’t even start with that.
Similar questions are all answered that it is not possible to recover the file, but as a programmer with 10 years of experience, I think that sounds like a very bad joke. Surely, there must be way to change the file since I know the exact part that is problematic. I will be trying to change the file using some binary editor software, but any help is more than appreciated.
Note: Yes, I use version control. But I would rather spend 8 hours on finding a productive solution to this problem than to rewrite 4 hours of work again. Because I don’t think anyone should use a software that is capable of destroying your work so easily.
