I hate steam so much more now

o_pixel · 09-15-2006, 12:10 AM

steam stopped working so I reinstalled it but it deleted all the files including my crappy map I was working on

Aw!

I like how you just up and re-installed it instead of trying to fix it or anything.

o_ghost · 09-15-2006, 01:18 AM

You reinstalled it without making sure your crappy map wasn't backed up first?

o_nodnarb · 09-15-2006, 01:32 AM

ahh, poor pixel, maybe going here would have saved your crappy map

It is a shame you lack the intelligence to back up your files before doing anything drastic, or not so drastic in this case :P

It's Steam's fault you don't have foresight. KILL!

o_sh4x · 09-15-2006, 10:31 PM

lol seriously.

I always make backups, ALWAYS.

If I was to lose just a day of work in hammer I think I'd give up on the map and probably on hammer too.

So are you guys trying to say that steam doesnt suck? When did hell freeze 2nd time? (first time was when Finland won eurovision song contest)

It's never sucked the whole time I've used it, but that's a matter of opinion and being able to handle any issues that come up.

Instead of writting CDs of vmfs you can just email them to your yahoo, hotmail or gmail account. A compressed vmf is pretty small, maybe even smaller than your weener.

Hell froze over when the glorious vikings when extinct.

I did the same thing a few months back and I thought it wont delete my custom content duh 3 months of work gone.
I did manage to use this http://www.thejunkshop.net/Downloads/details/id=7.html
And got back some of my files but it takes time. Now I have my vmf's on another driver and a zip of the vmf's on a 3rd drive
