[3.10a] rod.dbm is not a valid SQLite database.
 
I was going to send my map file to a friend, but wasn't sure which file I was currently using so I went to file in the mapper to save it. Apparently I saved it to the map file I was currently using and I got some kind of error that I forgot to write down and now I get the error in topic whenever I try to open the map file. Is it fixable or am I screwed?

Look in the directory containing the rod.dbm file and see if there is a backup file. Otherwise, unless you make your own backups (which you should), then the file is probably corrupted. I'll try to reproduce this to see what happens when you save a map file over itself. I'm surprised that this would have corrupted the file. It should have just given an error when it couldn't write to the map file that was already open.

I don't know if it's relevant but I just realized my entire mapfile is now filled with only blank spaces.

I'd say that's relevant. Because it's essentially blank when CMUD tries to read it (and looks for indicators that it's a valid database) it won't find any and thus the error. I hope you have a back up.

Confirmed. Saving a map over itself does blank it out and fubar it.

Thanks for confirming this Tech. I'll add this to the high-priority bug list.
