Save your data folder, uninstall, delete everything in there, reinstall; You should be able to save it.

Unless by "messed up install" you mean your data folder was erased...

[Myrddraal]

I feel for you :sad:, but like Khelvan said, you can try to salvage some of it.

Remember, its easier to do if you've done it before...

[The Stranger]

no i was modding new units and sumthing went terribly wrong. and the worst part is i don't know what it was. so i'm busy putting back the hundreds of little repairs i did before adding skins making heat more realistic. making the AI better and stuff

[Drake22]

create a shortcut to your rtw.exe and go to its properties and add - show err and it will tell you whats causing the errors when you use that shortcut

[The Stranger]

i did, but it didn't helped me. it said descr_models_battle, well that's the same as mod everything over again

[Drake22]

didnt it tell you what line it was on? you can use the tabs at the top (under view \ go to) to get the that line and check it out

[Myrddraal]

Hm, you should only take out what you did most recently
its likely a simple enough error in that file. I typo or something
Work backwards, taking out the stuff you did one at a time.

[lt1956]

Always do a couple things at a time or one even, never do a whole pile I did that once when I started modding RTW, and after having to redo all my work over again, I decided to take one step at a time, It may seem like it takes longer but in the long run it save time and effort!

Or he could do the M$ time warp.

I used it to get back all my CoD files once.

It works like a charm.

you mean the ''system restore point'' option ?

yeah he should try that,

[Zharakov]

What ever its called.

It works.

[Laridus Konivaich]

Too bad... I feel sorry for you.

I killed my install of RTW too, fortunately, I was able to do a new install and extract all of my important modding (map files) to it, where they ran without any problem.

Anyway, hope that you are able to figure somethign out.

But if you can't, then there is always a ~:grouphug:!

[Zharakov]

How will a grope hug help his problem?

[The Stranger]

Yihaa i'm good i fixed it. i'm the master, and very stupid cuz i still didn't figured out what the problem was

[Laridus Konivaich]

Hey, congradulations, and it's good that you fixed the problem. It was probably something dreadfully simple... it always is.

~:grouphug:

[The Stranger]

yeah i think so, i thought i managed to deleted the HP of a unit
