Backup errors? Bad news.
13 years ago
General
I have no clue how this happened. I was backing up my files the day my computer was sent in to be repaired, and for some reason, some of my files are outdated. I told ALL of them to overwrite when I was backing them up, and I had enough space on my external drive for all of them. But somehow, some of them including my Game Maker source codes were all reverted back to older versions. I have no idea how this is possible.
To make matters worse, the GM files went waaay back. Like, I don't even think the GM backup files go that far back, but the main source files went that far too.
The bad news is, MTS also got reverted. It's barely playable now, and after all I had gotten done... that's it, I'm sick of this. I'm not using Game Maker anymore. It's time to go back to studying C++ and making SDL games. The upside to this is now my games can be compiled for other systems. The downside is now I have to redownload Mac and Linux so I can compile for them, unless anyone knows of a Windows compiler that makes Mac and Linux apps?
Well, I'm off to get back to practicing. This time I'll stick with the start small plan. Hopefully I'll start posting functional games soon.

This wouldn't be the first time a computer screwed up in a way that seemed almost impossible and screwed someone over, stuff like this has happened to me too >_>
*hugs tight and nuzzles* Good luck with the C++ studying
Not a problem
I'm really sorry you're having these problems, Midi. :(
