Thaumcraft Research Gone!

[Bleri1200]

I came back on to my singleplayer world after a few hours and opened my thaumonomicon and I see that all my research is gone, everything is black. Can someone tell me what I can do to get my research back and if you can tell me what caused this, that would be great.

You've given us so much information that we don't know where to start. Try giving us less info next time.

Thanks trajing, you've helped me so much

 

[trajing]

Well, conversely, we don't have enough information to help you. What were you near? What were you doing? Was there anything outputting something odd? Did you install a mod? There are tons of things that could possibly help and you didn't tell us any of them.

I'd never be able to keep a job as IT. I'd yell at users so often.

I was literally just researching things in my thaumonomicon and then i logged off and went back on later. There isn't much to tell you about because not much happened.

I was near my research table and no.

 

[trajing]

Allow me to clarify: what was in the loaded chunks?

 

[Bleri1200]

Do you know how to get the research back or not man?

 

[trajing]

Unless you took a backup of your .thaum file in the <PLAYERNAME> folder, it's impossible.

Thank you

I'm guessing what may have happened was when you logged off of single player, you hit the red "x", which just closes the client, without saving nothing iirc. To save you'd have to hit escape first to save. Assuming that was done (not sure 1 way or the other it was or wasn't), then yeah, you are hosed

I'm not sure if your version of thaumcraft have it but there's a command to grant you the research back. It's "/thaumcraft research <player> <research>".

IIRC, the information is is in the level.dat file somewhere. It should be because when I copied my level.dat into a new world, I kept the research. That means you might be able to restore things with an NBT editor. Depending on how much you researched, though, it might be more efficient to cheat research points in and redo the research. Not that I know how to do that, but yet again a look into the .dat files with an NBT editor might help.
