Here is a Error that makes me unable to Update my Game, This didnt happen before, not sure why its happening Now, And it only Happens on my Rebel Angel Project, The other one is ok.
I Get this Error:
FATAL ERROR: Too many > in NORTH EAST: The House of Information.>
House of Information is a Room in my Game, it says to many, To many what?, I Didnt even update it with lots of other stuff, And Not only that but i cant even open it to Edit my game, I Get that error., It Looks Like i'm Forced to start Over, Unfourtenetly The Game File is Also my source to Editing my game, I Believe they shouldn't be the same, because probs like this will happen.

It's fairly obvious, but when I first started I wouldn't have understood either.
'Too many >' means that there is an extra > bracket somewhere in your asl script. If you were using QDK you should check your scripts relating to the house of information for an extra > bracket or you may have to open up your asl file with a text editor and fix it.

Yup, I To understood that there was to many <>'s, but i dont remember updating that room :P, Guess I Will have to Fix it Manually.

I've had other reports of this error but I've been unable to reproduce it. It's easy to fix in a text editor.
If you have a copy of the game ASL file before the error occurred, then please send that to me and tell me what steps you take to reproduce the error (this applies to all bugs, really) - that will help me with tracking it down. This is a plea that goes out to everybody!

I presume you tried searching for "*.asl" on your hard disk? Files don't tend to disappear entirely!

My Rebel Angel one was there, but i couldn't open it, if i come accross the error again i'll disect it and send it to you :)

Also, A Idea i came up with is to save my Game every so often as: <Games Name>Backup. This ensures I'll have something to fall back on and it wont set me to far back :)
