My ac2game.DTA file is gone!?

[Rik_Vargard]

I suppose that, when that one file disappears, you can start over almost the whole thing...  :
No, don't ask me how I managed to do this.

At one moment, I wanted to open my file and it was not there anymore....  
Since I didn't know what it was for, I tried to put another one, that one from the demo game, in it. And now I know what that ac2game.DTA file is for... And I have a swarm invasion of files.001, .002 etc in my compiled folder that are always popping up from nowhere. It's a whole mess I don't really understand....

...but I feel this ain't good  8)

Lol, and don't tell me about the backup_ac2game.DAT I just discovered too late, since I saved the game with the .DTA file  from the demo...of course... and my recycle bin is empty, of course (for if I had just deleted with a distracted move without seeing it.)

oh well...  That's what we call making experience points, heh?  

Or if someone knows a magic trick?!

Do a google search for "data recovery tools" - there might still be a fragment of hope (and of the file...)

If you've saved nothing else in the meantime, chances are pretty good you might still be able to recover the thing despite it being gone from the recycling bin.

Alas! It has gone for sure! It was the good idea, you had there, but it I did surely delete "over it"while I was looking for it. I scanned all the evening.
Heh, that just rescript it all,  8) :o 8)  all the rest is already there.

It's "just" the scripts  

Thx a lot anyway!!!

[Rik_Vargard]

MUAHAHAHAH I don't believe this...not even the scripting that I have to redo!! The only thing are the "views" , ALLLLL the rest I could get back!

Woot... I love this.... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Think "backup", man, think "backUP"...
