Re: For 5hit5 and giggles
 

I'm sorry, but I have to bow out. A catastrophy hit my computer while I was upgrading my Windows 2000 to Windows XP; during the installation, something happened to my computer, that had effectively screwed up my computer; whenever I tried to continue the upgrade to Windows XP, or just boot up Windows 2000, a blue screen of death poped up, screaming Unmountable Boot Volume or something like that, and would not let me access my own computer. Booting in Safe mode did not help, nor did booting in any other advanced startup modes.

In the end, I was forced to format my hard disk and install XP from scratch. Seeing as how I had upgraded 2000 to XP without any errors in the past, I had assumed that this time would be no different, and did not make any backups of anything.

Everything I had is gone: My MP3 collection is gone, all my textures are gone, all my models are gone, everything I had created and stored and did not upload to the web is gone.

I'm sorry for any inconvience I now have caused this project.

You're sorry? Why? It isn't your fault. We blame Billy for this awful event.
I hope you can recover in a reasonable amount of time. My condolance. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

How far is progress on the RagTag fleet?
I'm curious which designs will make it into the fleet and which don't. Are you going to make an all new AI?

Re: For 5hit5 and giggles
 

If you ask me, going from 2000 to XP is a downgrade.

XP has given me more headaches than its newer friendlier disguise has ever helped me.

Reaaaaallllly sorry for you man... I feel your pain. Losing all your work is the worst thing about being dependent on computers. Time and effort can't ever be replaced.

Really, really sorry TC.

No, not the curse again!

That reminds me that I should back up all my graphics directories again. I'm still grieving for my losses almost 2 years later.
