I formatted my hard drive over the weekend and forgot to backup my game...
All the work from the last three years (which wasn't as much as it sounds) is gone...unless it's on a CD somewhere. Ironically enough, I always make fun of people who post these kind of reasons why they're now scrapping or restarting their game. Ah well, it's probably better that I start semi-new anyways. Maybe that will prompt me to work on it more, now that I know what needs to be worked on.
-
Ouch......i don't believe in frequent formats......unless something causes a problem. It shouldn't even be necessary if one performs proper maintainence on it in the first place (Defrags, normal scans, etc)
-
I once wished that happened to me. For The Black Walkway.....I hate that game to tell you the truth...I played it after I made it. I am SO remakeing it...
Your game on the other hand was better then mine. So now you have to re make it eh? You should have better less used graphics. RPGMaker ones have been used to much.
-
Happened to me. Twice. You can get why I am sick of making RPG toolkit game now. I know the feeling. Sort of.
Oh well... What to say? Fear not. Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas. B)
-
That has happened to me too. Very annoying.
-
that dose suck it happend to me last year i woz soooo pissed!
-
Welcome to MS Iqsoftware! B)
-
Yeah wellcome...just don't be spelling like that...I hate it when people spell like that...it makes me want to....to......FIX THE SPELLING!! But yeah, wellcome.
But anyways, Spyder, perhaps this time you should release more demos of your game. Because if you ever get everything lost, you can download your game, and remake stuff from there!
Boo yeah!
-
Well, that is in fact what I will have to do...
well, I won't have to download it, as the games hosted on MS "were" backed up on my hard drive, but yeah, I'll have to install it and start from where I left off so many years ago. Unfortunately there was quite a bit of music from the Reeves that I'll never get back Sad . Maybe I can release a 2nd demo with the music I have though.

Defrags have actually ruined files on my hard drive before. Music, movies, and CD images mainly, and it caused my computer to run noticably slower. Happened once with Windows' built in defrag software, and once with Diskeeper (which was reccomended to me after the Windows' one messed things up). Now I no longer believe in defragging, especially since the extra speed you would've gained is probably non-existant with today's fast computers.

heh
-
I feel for you Spydie.
-
Hereing somebody say that gives me the jibbies!
-
Yeah I did that for my game ... but fortunately I'd already at the time discontinued work on that version and to get it back all I had to do was download it off Mystic Software!
-
I have not formatted my HD since i got it last 2000 AD. Wink
But my registry has loads of errors now..there are a lot of programs listed in the Add/Remove Programs, but i've actually removed/uninstalled them already. It's either i repair the registry myself with regedit, or i format my HD. Sad
-
There are programs out there that can fix the registry for you...
-
Yea, there was a link to a really nice free on on teh Call for Help website, but stupid G4 bought tech TV and canceled it, and deleted teh web-site as well. This was around May10th I think that they canceled the show. I HATE stupid G4 for doin that. it's so (Editor: Censored)! arg, I wish they would die, well, sort of.... Well, I'm out for the night, c u guys later!
-
So true, GC!! Wink
I KNOW how u feel Spydie!!!!!! I wish i was ABLE to back MY stuff up. I only had a couple of floppies!!
I feel your pain man!
-
I wish that would happen to me...
I have to completely remake my game, but I can't bare to delete all my files.
-
Ditto. I'm remakeing The Black Walkway 2. <_<
-
*Points and laughs at Spyder. Laughing
-
Sad
-
Oh now look you made Spyder sad. *Pat's Spyder on the back and gives him a candy bar*
-
^_^
-
Damn, Spyder...that really does suck Sad
-
I suppose. I've gotten over it for the most part. When TK 3.0.4 is released, I shall slowly resume work on the game.
-
Oi sorry for laughing at you.
I remember I thought I had everything covered but suddenly I had to reboot cause me computer wouldn't work right.
Luckily old files were in the D: drive but still I lost somethings. How ironic I can't remember them.
Oi I also lost my only copy of Earthbound rom. That sucks. I can't find another.
Oi.
-
Hehehe... I have one Earthbound rom...
I could send it to you via mail but it's 2 MB zipped Razz
-
I've got EarthBound too (or Mother, as it's truly called).
That game is so weird. The designers really need to lay off on the crack. Razz
-
I hated EarthBound for some reason, too cartoonish for me.
Anyway Spyder... That's everyone's excuse now =P
-
I had Earthbound. That damned thing killed my laptop.
-
Cartoonish style is nothing wrong... I just would prefer if they made some actual textures rather than mono-colored walls, buildings, grass, etc. It makes eyes hurt after some time.
-
Sorry to be a smart arse, but Earthbound is Mother 2.
Good game, too bad the N64 sequel was canned.

Sequal? Where? WHERE? I LOVE THAT GAME!!!!!! I must have more Mother. Where can I get that other game. WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Good thing video games aren't addicting Laughing

What an ironic twist of fate.
You could sort of say, "the shoe is on the other foot"
even though I can't possibly understand why one would want to wear mis-matched shoes.
