ok. the only thing i can think that MIGHT have somehow caused this is that i had to just do a system restore to a save point from yesterday because i had a problem with the computer, and it fixed it btw

so anyway when i went to go load my save games, they are all screwed up. they got changed names, like instead of my quicksave1 now i have somethin like quicksave1(1).tmp and instead of quicksave2 i have somethin like quicksave2(1).tmp, and instead of my "justincase" save, i have justincase(1).tmp...and, well, you get the idea. these folders seemed to keep all the files in them...i guess i cant be sure, though. but also what was weird was that there WERE still the regular save folders in their previous names except the only file they have in them is "inv.b0"

i also notice that the folders are now read-only...which im pretty sure i remember hearing was a bad thing for DD saves...so i tried just temporarily moving the folders that had maintained the real names of my saves, changed the names of the weird folders that still had all the files in them to their names i had named them, and i took off read-only. tried loading, it crashed when trying to load again. =/ i didnt think it would be so easily fixed, but, well, it was worth a shot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


help =[

edit:

i just tried another idea, and it had limited success...

i tried taking the "inv.b0" file from the folder of my quicksave.1 folder that had maintained its name but only had that file, and copied it in to my quicksave folder with the messed up name. then i temporarily moved the quicksave.1 folder, then changed the name of the one with the messed up name back to its regular name...then i tried loading

it DID load, however it seems im missing some of my items...at LEAST my helmet that i loved so dearly, that thing was awesome =[
