Hi there, so I have a .rblx file I am trying to open and I keep getting this error below:
Anyway to fix this?

rbxl (short for ROBLOX Level, the naming from 2005 stayed)
I think you accidentally parented a BaseWrap outside of a MeshPart before studio complained about this. To potentially fix the issue, you must convert your place to XML (*.rbxlx) and remove the BaseWrap, or you can use an older studio version.

#3

how would I convert this to a .rbxlx?

#4

You cannot convert it without opening it in studio. To do this, open the place in studio. Then, click “Save to File as…”. Under “File Type”, select “.rbxlx”. The file will save as “.rbxlx”.

#5

so in other words, I am screwed and it is a lost cause, cause as I stated before, I cannot open it in studio

#6

Not necessarily. You can try opening it in an older version of studio using Roblox Mod Manager, and then delete the BaseWrap or parent it correctly. Then, update studio and your problem is solved.

using Roblox Mod Manager, I reverted all the way to Oct 26, the farthest I found, it still did not open and still gave me the same error so I am not sure what to do anymore, I am assuming that this is just a lost cause now.

This happens when you try to open a saveinstanced place lol

You can still possibly load it into the 2017L client that was archived.
