Hey guys! I was having difficulty with an unfortunate problem I've been having and /r/MUD suggested I try asking about it here. Let me preface this by saying I am not a very computer savvy person, so please try to keep explanations to a mid-bronze age comprehension level.

I've been mapping out zones in the longtime mud I've been playing for the last 20 years, Dark and Shattered Lands (DSL), a little over 16k rooms in. While mapping, my foot hit the power strip power button, and turned my computer off in mid-mapping. When I got it up and running again, anytime I tried to add, delete, or edit rooms, CMUD hard crashed. I can click and drag rooms around on the grid just fine, and I can rename zones (but not delete them), but editing the rooms themselves causes a crash. Here is the error message I'm getting:

My last backup is around 14000 rooms in, so ideally I would like to try and salvage the map if I can.

The map in question: https://gofile.io/?c=6xvb9C

(If you load it into CMUD, I renamed the zone I was currently working on as 'broken'. The MUD in question is dsl-mud.org:4000)

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

You might have luck running it through the map converter tool in the cmud beta folder.
(CMUD to zMUD and back again)

Or maybe just delete all the rooms you created in that last session.

Otherwise, you will likely need to start over.

I'll see if I can find the converter tool.

Unfortunately, I cannot delete rooms. That causes it to crash.
