I made a boo-boo...

Fannon · 05-14-2006, 05:56 PM

Welp folks, this isn't the first and probably won't be the last time I forget to make a back-up copy of something. In this case it's the iw_13.iwd file in the "main" folder. I was attempting to get all teh xmodels for map making on Radiant. When I tried to open the iw_13.iwd file, it wouldn't open up, so I changed it to a .zip and unzipped it.

Well everything look good so far, until I tried to change it back into an .iwd file. It just won't go back to it's original state, and now I can't play my game. Any of you happen to know a way to reverse this ill effect or download another iw_13.iwd file? I would just re-install the game, but my copy is in Arkansas. :*(.

Hopefully you guys that are smarter than me, can help me up and nag on me for being stupid and not creating a back-up copy.

I was going to email it to you but I think it's too big. Maybe someone who has Xfire can give it to you via that?

Fannon · 05-14-2006, 09:42 PM

Thanks, someone from TG already did it. Thanks alot whoever you were, (never gave me there name)

Now CoD is going black, and loading up like 7 times before it says directx error, so i'm going to go download directx again and see if it'll work now.

Fannon · 05-14-2006, 10:10 PM

Yay... Now, I never even got to try and update directx. Now I get this...

The item 'cod2mp_s.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.

I looked and its in teh same place it's always been. So I don't know what the blessed heck is going on here, this is just beyond me.

Fannon · 05-14-2006, 10:44 PM

YAY! Another Error Out of the Blue. My geforce drivers are up to date, as well as my directx.

Nah, nothing comes up on my scans. And UO and all the other games seem to work fine.
