So sorry for your troubles. :( I hope you can save your work. Just the thought of something like that happening gives me the shivers! :sweat: I'm backing up my stuff now!

I know how you feel, STiFU :tsktsk: I had to reinstall things a few times since I went back to running windows :eww:
Last week I was redoing the network around the house & somehow windows totally corrupted the file system on one drive, so windows explorer slowed down to a crawl :bored: Luckily it wasn't my system drive, or the drive t3ed resides on. I did have to reinstall a few applications that were on that drive.

Ouch. My computer froze up last weekend and refused to boot up again. I was afraid I'd lost everything, but I eventually managed to get it to boot into safe mode and it seems to have fixed itself somehow. I'm sort of paranoid about this thing dying on me, so I've backed up some of the more important stuff.
I hope you manage to get something back. :(

I tried to fetch the files with filescavenger, but It didn't really work. But Getdataback seems to work fine!! :) Some files are longterm damaged but I think my map will still be openable. I woun't promise you anything though! ;) At last, there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
I will reinstall t3ed after recovering my files. Are there anymore files than the t3game.sys, the user.ini, my map file and my smeshes that will have to be backuped? Don't think so, but just to make sure, you know! :)

Trigger scripts.
Take the whole directory - it's easier.
Might want the conversations too, just for the convenience if you've set mission objectives and the like

The files are partly corrupted. The most recent .unr file isn't openable at all and my smeshes don't work neither. I had to remove them from the folder, because otherwise my map didn't load at all. When I opened the static mesh browser i got a viktoria error saying the the t3ed.pdb is missing. I didn't find that file in my backups, so i think i'll just have to recompile the smeshes. (Let's hope the sourcefiles are still working). Now after loading t3ed lists what kind of things are missing. Take a look at the screen(I was too lazy to type;)): (

To the mods: I know this is offtopic, but we were talking about my dataloss anyway, so I thought "no need for an extra thread".

Were you able to restore your T3Gamesys.T3U? I'm pretty sure that's where you'll find the missing archtypes. They are probably your EnterMissionInfo, DifficultyInfo, ExitMissionInfo and any other custom archtypes you made.
Also, if you can get the map tp open and try to save it, you should be prompted to save a "deorphaned" version. You'll lose all your custom stuff, but you'll save the basic map.

As is said i copied the t3gamesys.t3u files from my backup into my new t3ed directory. All of them, but they seem to be corrupted partly, so I will have to rebuild some of my archtypes by hand. (Many of them work fine though)

Sorry. I should have read farther back before posting. :tsktsk:
