i know that sounded a little rant-ish, but i do want to warn anyone working with d3 to beware of that. :P

i guess i'll restart at this point. it's still fresh in my mind, so hopefully i can recreate it. and my scripts are still there, which is what took half the time anyway. 

I know its unlikely that you had backups somewhere, but at the very least you were doing incremental saves, right? So you can go back to the last version? 

apparently, i've learnt that lesson. >_< 

..where can I learn more about what you're after, personnel/skill wise? 

I can't point you to a website or ad or whatever, but we can chat about it via email or irc or something if you like. So yeah, email me :D 

I've been burned that way a few times. So much so that I never ever save while regioned anymore. I've also had stuff disappear by hiding, regioning, hiding more, unregioning and then trying to unhide and having nothing come back. 

jesus, condolences :(

I never knew about that issue, but I always save under a new filename every session, and archive all the old versions. I know something's bound to fuck up oneday, so it's nice to know that at worst I can just roll back to a recent session. 

I'm assuming that you checked the .bak file? 

annoyingly enough, it's the *only* map in the folder without one. i can only guess that when you save the map within the game when doing editsounds, it erases the .bak file or something. 

if this works, new server move is complete! 

This post does not work. 

That went pretty smooth, didn't it. Great! 

works! and it's FAST! 

...but I still cannot View All Threads or get to News Archive. 

That worked for me (fast too). View the whole GA thread works fine though, it takes a while of course and stresses the browser a bit. 

DNS updated faster than I expected.

I wonder if i should bother fixing the fact that the timestamps in the database don't have a time zone attached, but the server has suddenly moved 9 time zones over.

"seriously impressive" ghostbusters game? This looks awful and I can feel my early childhood being stabbed with every physics object tossed. 

I don't know, but I just slimed myself. 

 

but Ghostbusters was not all that funny. One good laugh and a few amusing
chuckles at best. 

your opinion, man.

No, it wasn't a side splitting movie. I still liked it, and so did a lot of people. 

ghost vaccum cleaner on the roof of the car ftw.
(plus marshmellow man ruining the city every single time with me having absolutely no idea how to stop him and finish the game... :|) 

I didn't see it until the 90's and in my twenties. Maybe, if I saw it as a kid my memories of the movie would be more nostalgic. 

...and that doesn't look all that horrible to me. Hell, we haven't really seen much in the way of gameplay, just "ooh, look at shit break apart and fly around; ain't it cool?!"

Although the simulated-real-people thing always creeps me out a little for some reason, and is very wrong.

What looks so awful to you, other than that?
