shai Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 If it was just the board on the drive that died you could get it replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athanasios Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I am very sorry for this. Good luck with the HDD, cause you will need it. If it caught fire on top there is the danger it heated/burned the magnetic material that covers the metal plates. It will crack and all data will be gone. If not it will damage on usage. So it will have to be mounted read only and salvage whatever possible. At least when you buy new hardware make sure the SMPS has a lot of Watts and is heavy (weight=quality). I have burned a couple of SMPS's but not to the point for the PC to catch fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE AQIB Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Back on creating the game..It seems Main Game is almost done..And the Expansion has some bit of work left..Multiplayer is still not fixed.. Will do it soon..Tilesets are all messed up.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feda Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Ignore the multiplayer for now man... Cmon why are u even bothering with that at this stage? We barely get few players to play the original game, this mod would have ZERO playerbase in its beta stages. Concentrate on the missions and tilesets and release a demo version asap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Yes, do the campaign first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE AQIB Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Yes, do the campaign first. Doing the campaign now.. Fixing map bugs like stupid tilesets..Multiplayer will be done later.. Ignore the multiplayer for now man... Cmon why are u even bothering with that at this stage? We barely get few players to play the original game, this mod would have ZERO playerbase in its beta stages. Concentrate on the missions and tilesets and release a demo version asap. I know about the zero player base for demo.. I expect it.. I'm making a list on excel and fixing all maps manually one by one so that it'll be playable..My major mistake was in Atriedes Mission 1 where we have to mine a lot of spice but unfortunately forgot to put in spice blooms and as a result spice dried up fast..And most maps i made are kinda small.. :P I'm doing the best i can so that after the incident i can do it as fast as i can.... :( 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminar Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I remember that there is a file where you can change the music of any mission, I think we can even add the new missions to it and define a music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
