SOMEONE PLEASE HELP WITH THIS LOAD OF CRAP!!! i am downloading th Update again and if this doesnt get my files back. I want help.... I sound like a freakin noob! i hate my damn computer... (Please excuse my language but this is so not cool)

Are you serious? You're going to quit modding after only a few months? It really wouldn't take that long to recreate the stuff you lost.

Maybe if it would have been years of work lost then I would have panick and took a break not all together quit just then. This has happened to alot of great modders like Kwen himself with MME. Don't quit just restart, even though it sucks to.

There's a topic for this.

ya but i worked hard at it and i lost motivation and i was going to show someone in my family for X-mas to show that i like to work hard and i just lost it all....

All the help you've got is for a purpose you know. It's to help you get it working, and get better
When you've done something once, it'll go faster the next time.

Take a break now in the holidays, and get back after new years eve to start over.

btw; didn't you upload a version of it to the site?
That might only be 1.3 (If I understood it was everything after this was lost?) but it's still better than starting over

[Elric]

ya i know.... thanks for the advice.... I already downloaded again... Its the stuff that i didn't need help with that s so annoying because i made multiple new units after 1.3 and i had loads of new powers and what not, i had like loads of stuff that looked cool like, MaceMaster for witch-King- sent out a green anduril and fireball followed mace and fire sword... I also had loads of new pictures which i made and know i dont even have the back up of them...

It seems you're just looking at all the negative... what about the positive side of things?

[Elric]

Did you try the system restore ?

[Allathar]

You can still try saving it from your harddrive with some program designed to do it. Even if you deleted it, it's still there, as long as there isn't something written over it.

[Elric]

how do i do that?

[Mouth of Sauron]

Try the system restore utility of your windows : http://en.wikipedia..../System_Restore

If your files were deleted automatically during the uninstall process, your might have them back...

Nice program... I was trying to save some of my old files deleted monhts ago from my old computer, especially some renx files (I had many rebinded models including most of the cavalry), but I the files are not there anymore... I have only found a few old saves, some inis, folders...

That happened to me once... There was a problem in the mod that I couldnt troubleshoot, so I just redid everything from my first version.

It is completely true that the 2nd time is easier.

I may have lost interest in my mod, but I will help others when I have to, and it looks like you'll need a bit of help, so I'll help with whatever I have time to do and what you ask me to do.

Just don't ask me to do everything.
