Gloom fills my lungs

So my months of hard work on my first serious warcraft map was wiped out by a virus (along with everything else on my computer). I'm sad because I believe it would have actually been a hit.

Some info on my (lost) map:

You are a marine (packed with an arsenal of 15 different weapons) and you must save the captured innocent before they are fed to hell.
Weapons: 15 completely custom weapons.
0. Fists
1. Pistol (Glock and Magnum)

7. You choose 5 weapons at start (if you have that many unlocked ;))
8. You can drive any vehicle you find on the street.

I'm hoping to restart this project. Just thought I'd tell my tale of woe.

Ouch, that's tough luck.

Hopefully, having done it once, re-making the stuff you made before won't be as difficult this time. Think of it as an opportunity to make things cleaner and more efficient.

Good luck this time.

Yeah, that sucks. Good luck!

ya, maybe this time it'll only take a month instead of 4. All I need to do now is install warcraft and Maya and get a whole bunch of converters.

Sorry to hear that man. :( That sucks, big-time. I guess that's how you learn the hard way to backup your projects.
