Woah, that one's a deleter. Knock it off RaeKwon. If you don't want to know what people think, don't post it on a public forum. You have no right talking like that here.

Oh no! You lost all your games? Talk to all the people that stole them all! Its a good thing you have backups :)

Currently, unless you have special software (not that Windows ME setback *refrain from curse* stuff), you cannot undelete without a decent amount of 'hacker' knowledge (Dig through your harddrive with a hex editor, find the deleted files, remove the 'super duper hidden' windows tag from them, and then replace them in something other than /root), you won't be able to get your files back. The sad truth of it is, I would recommend talking to people, I know you passed your code around to alot of people, I believe I have your Zeta, DQ, and something else, so I can send them to you if you want.
Best of luck to you, Pola | |
If everything on your computer is gone, I dont think there will be a way to get it back :( Thats why i suggest next time keeping all your important files, like BYOND files and such on info CDs if you have a CD burner. The only thing I can do to help, a little, is send you the very early version coding for ToT, the version I had just gotten the battle system done with. Yes I still have it. Wont be much but thats all I can do to help :(
If you do have alot of code from your games wandering around with people, I suggest asking them for it and hope they give it to you. | |

There are programs out there called "boneyards" or "graveyards" and things like that that will allow you do find the deleted files and restore them. Of course, since the data is marked as overwriteable, the undeleters can't guarantee that it'll be recoverable, especially if you've overwritten anything. Windows 3.1, ironically, had a far better graveyard program than any of the later versions of Windows, which dropped it in favour of having a recycle bin that, once deleted from, makes everything irrecoverable. | |
ya and I doubt even 1/10 of those you did yourself, most of them are probably with help from others. So why not just ask them for the files or did you screw them over or something and they won't give them to you?

While it is a pain if you do accidently (or someone else intentionally) deletes something, the 'irrecoverability' of late windows versions is also more secure when you are deleting things that you don't want to resurface again. Still, if you expect the FBI to scan your hard drive for incriminating evidence in the near future, you should still use a secure deletion program that overwrites all the garbage bits left behind by a regular delete. Raekwon, I feel sorry for your predicament, but there are ways you could have prevented this from happening: 1) You need a firewall (assuming your security was not breached by someone physically sitting at your computer.) Zone Alarm is free for home use, and extremely easy to use. 2) Backups. Lots and lots of backups. I keep archives of all my projects, saved at intervals along the development cycle (usually zipped under the title and date, like DarkeDungeon020609.zip). Since I work on my software both at home and at work (during slow periods) I'm lucky enough to have encrypted zips of my programs on each of the 3 computers I regularly use, as well as the latest zip of current projects in my online storage vault. Just in case, I also keep archives on floppy. If someone is able to eradicate all copies of one of my programs, I will be truly afraid (as well as curious why they would devote so many resources to keeping Darke Dungeon from seeing the light of day.) | |

I'm past due for a backup, myself, but my brother has the CD burner, so I have to pipe things over our Fast Ethernet before I can back them up. | |
