Need Help - Strange Error

[zero00]

I was making a new shooter game and it gave me this strange error.

Unable to load world




Alice version: 2.2 02/10/2011



Throwable that caused the error:

edu.cmu.cs.stage3.alice.core.IllegalNameValueExcep tion: Unfortunately, something else in this world is already named "index," so you can't use that name here.

I have no idea what to do about this. Please help!
("ika_v8" is the broken file. "ika_v7" is an older version.)

Problem located. Solution obvious.

I saw that already. I just have no idea how to fix this

You saved two objects with the same name. Alice didn't see it until you tried to open the world again. That means you need to go to a backup and redo what you did from there, careful not to double-name.

I can't seem to find where the file is

[ElectricKirby]

There should be a folder named "Backups of __name of world__" in the same place you saved your game.

I already tried using the backups. They all have the same problem.
Luckily, I saved that earlier version ("ika_v7"), so I've building on that one, instead of trying make this work again.

However, the rebuild version suddenly got an "unknown" error (The error report actually said unknown) Luckily, it didn't destroy my file, but it did mess it up a little. This little project is becoming just too much trouble.

I'd still like to share what progress I've made with this project, though.

I would like share this "project" with the people of this community though, even if it was a failure (of sorts).

Here is the "game"

Title: Tenkan (working title)
Game Type: Vertical Shooter
Goal: Shoot the core! (You can't kill it, but it can kill you)
Notes: This was unfinished, so it's a bit buggy. If you encounter any errors, its likely a result of this being unfinished.
Also, feel free to alter this "game" as much you want!

====Controls===========
Arrow Keys ----- Move
Hold Space ----- Rapid Fire

====Features===========
-Core Force from my previous game Sky Warrior returns in this game!
Press Enter to make it go through its attack sequence!
-This is [would have been] my most complex game yet!
