Click on create new world and make a world with the same name as previously.
Load a world with the same seed as the one you lost, then copy over the level.dat from it to the corrupted world. You can also try renaming the level.dat_old to level.dat.
All right, I copied the level.dat from the backup I made a few hours ago. My world is back and current, but I lost the results of two hours of exploration I carried in my inventory, including a strongbox filled with bees and a Division Sigil (scream!) I found in a dungeon. It's better than losing my world, but it still sucks. On the other hand, I duplicated a TC pickaxe.
BTW, I don't recall my seed. Is that documented somewhere?

Read my posts. I did. And no, that doesn't prevent loss of several hours of doing stuff, it just prevents a complete loss.
Converesely, if you had restored the entire backup (rather than just level.dat) that division sigil would *Still* be waiting for you in that chest.
I know. Talking about as a precautionary measure in case it happens again.
Yeah. Might've done that if I hadn't already lost a few hours when MFFS crashed my game as I inadvertently tried to activate two Force Manipulators affecting each other at the same time. Anyway, I got the thing the hard way in the meantime.
I don't think I specified any seed at world creation, when I type /seed, I get some number in the 4 billions, equalling 2^32-1, i.e. 0xFFFFFFFF. What does that mean?
Well, unless you specify a seed, it's totally random. You could get 234, or you could get 9018498597860398509.
The way to fix this, politics, noisy children, and everything else; Fire cluster nukes, anti matter, and red matter missiles at them. And if that dosnt work, eat this strane "bacon" you found *cough* everyones corpses after you killed them all with your missles *cough*
This happened to me the other day (first time ever) and wow did I panic. Luckily, some web searching supplied me with the correct answer (level.dat file corruption) and I was able to copy the file from an older backup world save and keep going. Some minor creative mode needed to recreate the items in my hotbar, had to re-make my Tinker's Construct tools, etc. but it wasn't the end of the world (no pun intended) like I initially feared.[DOUBLEPOST=1401831086][/DOUBLEPOST]
Having done manual world saves every hour or more since I began playing FTB ages ago... I will likely want to bow down and kiss your feet if this does what you say it does.
