OH MY GOD SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC JUST HAPPENED HELP ME THE FUCK OUT!

Posted by I-smel - August 10th, 2008

THE GAME IVE BIN WORKIN ON FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. ITS A MASTERPIECE. ITS REVOLUTIONARY ITS GIGANTIC. I JUST OPENED IT THIS MORNIN AND IT'S 20KB AND THERES NOTHING IN IT.

WHAT.

WHAAA??

SOMEBODY HELP ME AAAARRRRRGGHHH.
I STILL HAVE THE .SWF

I'M GONNA BE SICK.

UPDATE- I'VE GOT PRETTY MUCH MOST OF IT BACK- ALL OF IT I THINK I'M GONNA GET. ALOT OF IT'S A MESS, BUT COMBINING WHAT I HAVE HERE WITH THE ASSETS FROM THE OLD BACKUP I COULD PROBABLY RESTORE MOST OF IT IN ABOUT A WEEK, FINGERS CROSSED. IN SHORT, THE DAY IS AS SAVED AS IT'S GOING TO GET. HALLELUJAH

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO KNEW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT, THATNKS TO THE-EXP WHO DECOMPILED THE .SWF, THANKS TO SASUKE WHO ALSO DECOMPILED IT AT THE SAME TIME, THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT GAME I'M ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT AND NO THANKS TO THE GUYS WHO GAVE PRETTY SHIT REPLIES. LOOK FORWARD TO THE GAME COMIN OUT WITHIN THE MONTH, IT'S A DOOZY.

UPDATE- FUCK A WEEK, I'VE GOT IT SHIP SHAPE RIGHT NOW. LETS SEE HOW LONG ITLL TAKE ME TO COMPILE A SOUNDTRACK (FROM HERE, OBVIOUSLY) N SORT OUT SOME ART.

did up compress the disk or did put it in a hidden folder? try back tracking as well, or just seach from the start menu.

hope you find it.

I-smel

I DIDNT MOVE IT, AND WHAT THE FUCK ITS NOT COMPRESSED IT USED TO BE LIKE A COUPLE HUNDRED MEGABYTES BIG.

BACK TRACKING?

Mixture

Btw: Try opening it with other things.. if it's empty for them.. it probably is :)

I-smel

WHAT ELSE DO YOU OPEN A .FLA WITH?

Emanhattan

you either made a lot of stuff and then forgot to save, or your memory is over run.

I guess the first thing you should do is to check if there´s any backup

I-smel (Updated )

CHECK WHERE FOR BACKUP?

Psycho

I brought an SWF decompiler.

Meaning, show me the SWF, I can do something with it, and send you the fla.

I-smel

I WILL AS SOON AS I FIND A SITE THAT CAN UPLOAD 4.3MB OF .SWF WITHOUT PRESENTING IT TOTHE WORLD.

Jimtopia

Maybe you should do a system restore to a previous date?

I-smel

ILL TRY THAT IN A SEC

Pig-Fart

Oh shit... is this the game with like the kirby abilities and beat-em-up gameplay? I remember testing a beta for it a long time ago and it was amazing. I hope you can find it :( You didn't start a new project and save over it did you?

I-smel (Updated )

25 ABILITIES
5 DIFFERENT STAGES
4 BOSSES
8 WEAPONS
2 PLAYABLE CHARACTERS- ONE OF WHICH COULDNT ACTUALLY EAT STUFF, AND SO THE GAME PLAYED TOTALLY DIFFERENTLY
ACHIEVEMENTS
UNLOCKABLE BUSINESS
STATIC CUTSCENES INBETWEEN STAGES
THERE WAS A DRIVING LEVEL
YOU COULD EAT A FUCKING PROSTITUTE
THERE WAS AN AI-CONTROLLED ASSIST CHARACTER THAT COULD DO EVERYTHING THE HUMAN PLAYER COULD AND IT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY SMART

LazyMuffin

You can try yousendit.com

FrozenFire

CS3 Did that to me once.. I got so pissed. I never used CS3 again. Flash 8 Crashes rarely, but at least it didn't delete all my shit.

Were you using flash 8?

Also I can't really help you lol.

I-smel

FLASH 8

molkman

Download "SoThink SWF decompiler" and decompile the swf. Some art is always lost, but not much usually.

I-smel

THE ART ASSETS ARE RESTORED

Psycho

You can transfer it via MSN or Skype. Also, the trial of Sothink doesn't save AS.

I-smel

I JUST FOUND THAT OUT

JohnnyUtah

you spent 4 months on one file and don't have a single backup?

well thats just crazy.

I-smel (Updated )

YEAH I DO, BUT ITS A FEW WEEKS OUT OF DATE AND I DONT KNOW IF I COULD DRAG MYSELF TO DO THAT WORK AGAIN

ColdReaver

Shit, that really sux man... Always ALWAYS backup your work, cause shit like this can happen. I don't know if its the program's own errors or if it's a hard drive related issue, so I can't really help out...

KingKilo

Dude, you can upload it to " yousendit.com " or " megaupload.com ".
This way, you can keep things private. (private enough).

If the .SWF decompiler doesn't work, I'm afraid you have to do it all over again.
You still have the .swf? Cause you could "import" that, into an empty .fla.

And see what happens.

If nothing works, you'll have to start over from scratch.
Good luck.

I-smel

THE ART ASSETS SEEM TO BE BACK, BUT I CANT GET A FLASH DECOMPILER THAT'LL GIVE ME MY ACTIONSCRIPT

UNLESS I TOTALLY STEAL ONE
OR SEND IT TO SOMEONE WHO ALLREADY DID
I WILL DO BOTH

Cheektoghetto

If you send me a download link, I have the full edition of SoThink. I'll decompile it for you and give you back the .fla.

Josh-B

Back up your files.

Skeik

I bet now you wish you had System Restore enabled.

I-smel

I DO, I HAVE IT ENABLED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT. IM PRETTY SURE SYSTEM RESTORE DOESNT BRING BACK FILES THOUGH.

The-EXP

Every half hour Save as instead of save :D

I have a liscence for the full version of sothink if you'd like me to decompile/resave it for you.
Email me at tony@armorgames.com if you're interested..
unless someone else has already offered this slution, as I havent read the comments yet.
-Tony

I-smel

IT TAKES HALF AN HOUR TO SAVE IT.

ALSO I LOVE YOU.

Wiiporter

oh my god, thats awful!

guido730

well, it was probably a piece of shit anyway.

lol im just kidding that sucks cock

The-EXP

Haha, now I will steal it and realese it as "Flickerhat strikes again"

I'll be saving it in a few minutes, but no gurantees with a game this complex that it will come out perfect.

I-smel (Updated )

I GUESS ITD HAVE TO BE A SILENT MOVIE COS THE SOUND'S BROKE

REALLY, THOSE COUPLE O THINGS ARE JUST DOWN TO ME FORMATTING SOME ACTIONSCRIPT WRONG. THERE WAS A SOUND CALLED "B-LIP" AND YOU CANT HAVE HYPHENS IN NAMES, SO IT MUSTVE JUST DISABLED A COUPLE O THINGS.

IN RETROSPECT, MAYBE IM LUCKY IT WASNT IN FULL WORKIN ORDER.
