Ape Apps

For some reason, 2 of my recent cities are gone. I still have their mcx file form backup, but it isn't associated to my main mcz file. How do I restore them and connect again?

Help please.

Thanks

i had no idea people still use windows phones!
its possible the save is still on the windows phone if you plug that phone into a computer and browse the file structure maybe you can find the save files? search the files for anything ending in .mcb and .mcx

Hello,

To begin, here are some technical informations :
-I am playing at mycolony on my computer with WIN8 (v0.71);
-I have purchased premium version till some times ;
-I am playing on a BIGGAAA region map (about 7 regions are really inhabited, but I must have maybe something like 30 regions in all).

Now that is my problem : I was playing on the game and at a moment I decided to change of region. So I returned to the region map (below) and I clicked on the region I choosed. But instead of loading my map, it displayed me nothing at all, and if I well remembered i had an infinite loading text at the bottomright corner indicating "saving game.." infinitely but did nothing. The other regions function. But when I tried to load this one now, I have a "Sync data" screen who closes itself after a few seconds, without loading my map. I tried also to load a recovery file but it didn't function.



Does it mean that I seem to have lost this part of my map for ever and
ever and
ever and
ever and
ever and
ever and
ever and
ever and
ever and
ever and
ever ?

My computer appeared to be overload at the moment of the problem. And I guess it is the cause of the corruption of the file...

EDIT : here are the files of the game, I 'm not sure it can help but I put them here nevertheless.


EDIT 2 : I have also lot's of .mcx files but I don't know if they can be of some use.

To move region games across devices you would have to move all the files linked to it. There is 1 file for the region and 1 file for each of the cities in the region. The region files are .mcx files.
On Windows the files are stored in your Documents -> My Colony. So from one computer to another you can just copy paste the files. If you are moving from Android to PC you'd have to find the files, idk where they are, maybe Android -> Data -> com.apeapps.mycolony or something.
For other platforms I don't know, but yeah copy pasting the files should work. I know other players did it with cloud sync but I don't know how this behaves.

So earlier today I bought a premium version of the game and I’ve encountered numerous problems since then. If anyone could help me with any of these I’ll be very grateful
1. My online colonies won’t open, they just load very long and then it takes me back to main menu.
2. When I try to make new online map the games asks me for charter code and skips the part when I’d normally pick the (forgot the name, commonwealth, guild or sth?)
3. Before these problems I’ve created regions but when I made cities inside of them, they were all bugged (0x0 space, everything black, just the lander in the middle)
4. I tried to log in with premium on desktop version of the game (web version or OS X version) but I could not figure out how to get to the .amk? file from iOS (the one with the premium key). I’ve tried file sharing trough iTunes but the only files I’ve found there were .aafci, .mcx, .mcb, .mcz, and one file var_package.wvp.

Huge update!

After 2 months of hard work, it's finally out!
The layouts building tool is an advanced tool for creating layouts and exporting them in .mcl format for importing into the game.
You may create layouts from scratch but also import existing .mcl files or even import a city file (even compressed) (.mcx or .mcb) and it will parse out on the grid!

There are so many features, I will let you discover them!
If you have questions or ideas of improvement don't hesitate.

Last but not least, thanks to @gkdkggl for the awesome work on this, and Pavlxiiv and crywolf for testing out!

so i'm trying to switch to playing on the launcher rather than on web, on the web i am exporting the game file, and then im importing that game file into the launcher, it opens, but whenever i try to navigate to my city it just says the .mcx file is missing

When loading a save (.mcx) from my phone into my Mac, the save appears to load, and I can see the region map. However when I click on a map in the region, I get an error saying that the save for that map can not be found. It seems it is looking for both region and city, but the save only includes the region. The same error is given for all cities in the region I loaded.

I've tried this several times with different saves etc. Same every time. Any ideas?

Same issue, web version isn’t syncing after saving data from iPhone. Error message reads:
————————————————————————
File Not Found
The game file *.mcx cannot be found on your system or on sync cloud
————————————————————————
* = regionName-colonyName-13digitNumber

I am getting FILE NOTE FOUND, the game file [CITY FILE].mcx cannot be found on system or cloud. But I backed it up and restored it from a MCZ file after it disappeared from the game after the latest update.
