.rmf files compress like crazy, my 13MB .rmf is 600kb zipped, easy to fit on a floppy even.

1^st off, thats a crock of s**t cass.. the rmf and map are just to small to not have a backup copy uploaded someplace safe.. a bit of forethought could have solved your problem. most especially since you knew the likelihood was pretty high.

if you lose another map, you have only yourself to blame.

You might still be able to get things like maps back after formating the drive, provided you didn't change the filesystem. If you have just reinstalled windows, then it shouldn't have overwritten the place where your maps were, since windows will have been at the start of the drvice before the format. Get some NTFS recovery program, and it will be able to find a bunch of old files on your drive, a lot of which will be 100% recoverable.

Thats a pity :sad:

That's why people invented CD-RWs and drives that write to 'em. :wink:

lol, i can't be arsed to finish it :smile: anyway, i've finished with HL mapping except for maybe the SP compo, will see how that goes.

Save for about two texture misalignments, that's f**king impressive.

Cheers ! i've got you to thank for some of it - i was well impressed with the rock textures in ts_foolsparadise and it prompted me to dig out some old tex's and spiffy them up :smile: btw, you should finish that sucker.

So spend another couple of weeks fixing it, fool! :razz:
