Ode to lost information

by Benjamin Naulls · in Constructor · 03/27/2008 (5:43 pm) · 9 replies

During an uninstall of constructor I forgot to copy all my saved files to somewhere safe,
after an unsuccessful restore and undelete I thought I would share pictures of some of the 30+ lost Models,

Benjamin - you do great work. Do you mind if I ask what your project is - are you working with anyone on a game? If you're interested in collaborating on an RPG, let me know.

I'm not working on any project at the moment, I have my game Idea planned out but its too ambitious for me at the level I am at, so I threw myself in the deep and started mucking around with torque, just adding things, like wouldn't it be cool if I could do this, and figuring out how to do it, then I realised that I needed models so over the past 3-4 weeks I have been learning how to 3d model.

Being part of a project? I really don't know, I'm interested yes, E-mail me and we can talk.

Great work! Damn, I wish they were still alive, though.

Thanks for everything guys, In ok news I did recover the DIF's so I can still use the models, just a lot were still under construction,
But I will dive straight back it and start making pretty things again.

I think someone should make DTS decompiler in-case this stuff happens again...I wonder if that can be done??

@Bobby
Somebody has already done this, DTS to MS3D

But these are DIF's and not DTS's. It might be nice to be able to recreate a Map or CSX from a DIF though.

It can be done. I can do it with the multitudes of plugins I have gathered. Just takes a little while.
