Starting From Scratch

21 September, 2007 by Andrew

Well last night I lost all the work I've been creating in Trainz since I got the game in January. The problem was triggered by CCP deciding it wasn't going to work and it persuaded Trainz 06 to stop work in sympathy.

I backed up my directories and reinstalled the software. Success, everything's working - except my personal items are showing. I thought I'd check the backup directory, unfortunately I used CCP, which wiped the 'local' directory. Good bye work

Actually losing 8 months of work isn't that traumatic as most of it has been learnings, and little fiddlings. So it hasn't been organised in any sort of way, and of course now the website is up I really should start from scratch.

I just wasn't expecting it to be from scratch scratch

The first thing I'm doing is recreating my nuclear industry (that requires downloading the nuclear wagons, bogies, container, and plant).
