plz HELPME!!

I have a issue! I want to work now on maya 8.5.
So I open my scene file, It's a character fully rig and bind with textures and all the stuff.. The file opens ok, np. Its a scene from maya 7.0, but If I save the scene again, now in maya 8.5, when I open it again, its all LOST! Almost all of the geometry is lost, all the materials and textures, the setting.. the scene is useless now.
and if I trie to save in a .ma format, it says it cant be save because FILE CONTAINS UNKNOWN NODES OR DATA. TO PRESERVE THIS INFORMATION, THE CURRENT FILE TYPE CANNOT BE CHANGE.

So plz, someone have a clue whats going on? I need to work with the new version cuz of the ncloth sistem, it rocks! plz help.

Can you post up one of those files? I could take a look and see what exactly is going on.

How can I post the file itself? Post the scene?
Dude I finaly come with a solution for this proble I have for so long, I dont know why, but I instal the old cloth, and then save the scene in .ma, and it save it correctly! but in .mb is giving me the same issue.

I dont know why with the old cloth instaled let me save in .ma, but with out it, it wont let me save.. my scene one time use to have that cloth, but I remove the solver, and the cloth objects like a month ago, and continue modeling the character. So I guess that cloth is no longer in my scene from maya 7.0

Whats the diference in saving in .mb or .ma?

Just post it like you would an image.

Here's a topic on the differences between the file types: https://forum.simplymaya.com/showthre...threadid=25151

I'm assuming that it doesn't want to save as .mb in 8.5 because 8.5 doesn't use the standard cloth system.

But i No longer have old cloth in my scene, I delete the solver, but maybe I still have some cloth objects? I have to check out and delete some garbage maybe.
