Kil3r: Did you run the game or scene editor as administrator? Hopefully you didn't loose too much progress my friend :(.
ahabschmidt: What exactly do you mean by "as an administrator"? I think so, I'm not sure. So far, the latest development is that im now able to physically move the file with the .sg extension into the quests folder through windows. the new issue is that the game crashes when i try to start the quest in the game. is there any solution to that?
Sorry bout not putting much detail into that response haha. What you wanna do is right click on the "disicple.exe" in the disicples directory and go to properties. Click the "Compatibility" tab and check the check near "Run this program as administrator". You may also want to do this for "gogstart", "SCENEEDIT" and "Config" just incase.
I'm guessing that you're running Windows 7 or Vista. Hope this helps.
