LDD, Unable to open file; parsing error

[L-space]

Hi guys,

my son has been working for a week in LDD on his MOC and suddenly the file won't open "parsing error".

I have tried this:

But it doesn't do the job for us.

Can somebody please lend a hand, thanks.

file; http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/L-space/ldd/60130gevangeniseiland.lxf

This file is (very) corrupt, probably truncated.

It tried some Linux console stuff but it breaks down after only a 5k (also corrupt) png.

FYI, i tried:

jar -xvf 60130gevangeniseiland.lxf

jar ignores the zip end of file stuff,

I also tried

dd if=60130gevangeniseiland.lxf | gunzip -f > out.txt

This will result in a single output file in which you could than try to copy the main (most important) xml file out of.

Sorry but I think it's not savable.

Thanks for the try, We'll give it a go tomorrow.

I was bored so I tried something else

Using a hex editor I removed the part of the zip file containing the png, then did the linux dd command again (it turns out that always only extract the first file)

This gave a truncated xml file which I fixed (butchered :) ) using a decent editor. Then rezipped it nito a lxf again which LDD successfully opens, although it dropped 178 bricks.

Could not attach the file so I've placed it on my site (let me know when I can delete it again)

Thank you very very much. You saved his vacation.

The file worked before breakfest but failed the second time. Luckily I had him save it to my computer too and that still works.

He's breaking it up in several creations now to keep it managable.
