EEK! Is there any way to recover games accidently deleted?

Rylix · Post by **Rylix** » 23 Apr 2005 11:29

Deleted within ttd, they dont appear inside recycle bin!

Is there any way?...

Do you have Norton antivirus with recycle bin protection? that might have saved them. (Long time since I used NAV, so I'm not sure)

Apart from that, I think you'd have to get some kind of professional data recovery tool - probably not worth it for a couple of TTD saves.

Yes you will. You won't be able to use the DB Set XL or the US Set though, and some other sets won't work too well, but otherwise, it should be fine.

Hmm, DBsetXL works for me.
That is on OS/2 of course.

Rylix, I suggest you get back at your brother, and delete all his saves. Then put a user/ Admin password on your comp so he can't do it again.
I get lost with all my saves in my folder, so i just delete, and start all over again, its alright.

cheers

Well, it doesn't quite work properly then.

I haven't actually tested it myself... OpenTTD lacks callbacks, among other things, which means tenders and so on don't automatically attach or change livery, etc.

eComStation iirc.

Ill go look up what dbset is, and d/l openttd.

btw when a new version is out how do they update it?

And does ttdpatch work on it? or are the features already in?

Rob · Post by **Rob** » 24 Apr 2005 03:48

Have you tried an "undelete" recovery tool ?

Like this one for instance ?

Rylix · Post by **Rylix** » 24 Apr 2005 04:26

Wow, looks promising. Brb, ill go get it

Rylix · Post by **Rylix** » 24 Apr 2005 04:28

Dang, it didnt find the ones he deleted, remember he did it from within TTD

Rob · Post by **Rob** » 24 Apr 2005 04:41

Well it was worth a try.
Sorry it didn't do the trick.

Do you really have to feed that kind of hostility

Rylix · Post by **Rylix** » 24 Apr 2005 06:35

hostility? i really think all the programmers and graphics artists should work on the one. Only problem with that is deciding whats next, buts its better then a billion half finished projects.

Btw Rob, i didnt mean to be ungrateful, thanx anyway
