I FIGURED IT OUT! You can rescue your corrupt FLP files!

I FIGURED IT OUT! YOU CAN SAVE YOUR CORRUPT FRUITY LOOP FILES.

(and theres no rhyme or reason why, who cares?!)

This is too late for some, just in time for others.

If this doesn't work and your file isnt 0kb (EMPTY!) then you should try and hex edit it based on this forum post here:

Steve Laboy's Fix:

1) Load up your corrupt FLP file into fruity loops

The corruption error will show, fruity loops will be crippled,

and your song doesnt show up. First time i saw this i s*** a brick.

2) Click the "FILE" menu (up in the left hand corner) then goto "EXPORT" and on the submenu for "Export" that appears, click "Zipped loop package..."

3) Save this package to your FL Studio Projects folder (it should point you there automatically). Save it anywhere if you want, this will just make it easier.

4) Browse to the folder where you put this zip file, and extract the contents into a folder there.

YOUR WORKING PROJECT IS IN THERE! Thank Steve!

have a nice day, and end the war in iraq.

Well played, sir.

If I had to take a wild and unsubstantiated guess as to why this might work, I'd guess that FL rewrites headers for some reason when it makes a zip package. I'd encourage you to post this info in the other thread too, since it's stickied (or I can copy and paste what you wrote into the first post there if you like). EDIT: I see you already did. I linked your info in the first post so people can try it first before spending two hours on my method.

I know this is a super-old thread, but I found an alternative corrupt-FLP saving method which you guys should really know about:

The 10th post on this thread:

(by user iuralaedunt)

It worked on mine :) The only things you have to redo are the Playlist and Mixer input (ie: Reverb, EQ etc) . The patterns remain intact with all your samples and VSTs. :mrgreen:
