EHM The Blue Line

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!



I can't believe what I am seeing right now!!! I am seeing a default rink in the 2D game engine!! And I never changed the files around to use the default files... which means... the patch replaced all my files with the default ones!! I spents hours upon hours getting my rink elements exactly how I wanted them, and now every single one of the files are gone!! And worse yet, the ones I had been using and lost were the ones I continued working on after I uploaded them here... so they were prototypes of my latest elements with more hours put into them... AHHHHHH!!

Always make a backup of files before applying patches

That does suck though; you should save a copy of your working files and then drag that copy into your default folder so you always have the others to go back to as well. It's a bit of a pain admittedly but it could save you from these kind of frustrations as well.

I have a folder in my documents that is for EHM things.

I keep everything there.

It keeps me warm at night.

I usually do make backups before any kind of patching/updating... but I never knew SI's patches replaced this type of graphical work... especially since the new files it gave me weren't fixed/changed from the originals

Some good news though: the hardest things I worked on(the benches, pen. boxes, and goal areas) are still on my machine from the left-over PSD files. So luckily for me, it was just a matter of going back to those templates and re-saving everything, which was still a major pain in the neck, but it's better then slaving away to create them again from scratch. And I still had to remake the lines and stuff... but again... I'd rather do them from scratch than the benches/goals/etc.

The reason it was overwritten is probably because unlike other projects these are replacements for items in the default skin graphics folder.

Glad to hear it didn't set you back too terribly though

I had the same issue: rink elements were erased from the datas. Hopefully, i just had to download it and install it once again, so it wasn't dramatic.
