If someone think he can repair this i am willing to pay a small amount or to donate to ATVO.

I can put it on my gDrive

You can send Nick and myself the link to the theme as PM in the iRacing Forums.
But you don't have to donate to us just because we fix your theme. This might be a bug in ATVO itself.

Thank you very much! i'll send it right away just tell me if something is wrong or missing.

I really appreciate !

I had a quick look at the file but cannot immediately see the issue. I do see that there are no inputs in the file, should there be?
I can take a closer look when I'm home later.

There is a hotfix in the new releases on alpha and beta. It should at least allow you to load your theme again. Right now we don't know what is causing this issue.

1- I just created and input, 2- then i deleted the input, 3- i exported the theme right after deleting the useless input
4- error message while loading in ATVO, then the same error in the editor

so no i am not supposed to have the input, that is the last request i made, i do not know why after that last command, the theme crashed.

thank you very much your help

i am now able to open my theme

Hi,

Sorry to put this thread in ATVO as it should go in Theme editor / bugs

If you can move it please.

Thanks
