    No more jungle theme in NS <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
    I'm sorry for you, but I will not learn from all the people who lost hard work in HD crashes or reformats. I'll still have everything on one HD and no backups cause I am too lazy. Just hope it doesn't come down on me some time

    Yea, when I said I could have fixed it, I ment that I had the blaster worm, but before I even knew what it was, so I just got frustrated and reformatted the HD.

    Well people, ns_machiga is gone, I lost it when I reinstalled NS after wanting a fresh install to play on servers that did not allow custom models <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Let this be a lesson to all mappers, NEVER keep your rmfs in your game directory, and burn them to CD regularly

    Holy crap dude! Nooo, that map was looking so so nice.

    So you've got no backups of it or anything? Even old ones are better than nothing, right?

    Don't worry, I will recreate it, and I spent so long down to the last detail that I remember almost every size and peice of brushwork. It'll take a while, but hey, its probably worth it.

    As for textures, I lost reletively little, seing as I keep most of the original files seperate from the NS directory.

    Don't worry about it Mouse, it was my foult that I failed to think of all the stuff I had stored in that damned directory, allthough it would have been nicer if the match had been worth it <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
