OMG! Please, backups your files ASAP (mods first).
I would offer you my PC as host, i have FTP and HTTP servers here, but you have circa1984 wich may help a lot.
Good luck.

Everything was backed up successfully, I think my 40 Gig Maxtor HD is dying but I'm still gonna try and make the most use out of it. Bad were clusters reported in scandisk and so forth! I plan to open my computer case and switch its location just to be sure it isn't getting too hot and running HD Regenerator on it...

I'm going to start saving for a new HD now since I know I'll need a new one soon, my D:\ is only 6 gigs and that isn't enough

Done! My computer is all setup and TAoV's work resumes, my HDD hasn't given any errors since! I did a number of things:

A) Backed up important files and work (TAoV

) and formatted my C:\
B) Reinstalled 98
C) Ran HDD Regenerator
D) Opened my case and positioned my HDD to a less heat intensive location
E) Kept my case open and a fan is blowing into it, just to be extra cautious.
F) Upgraded to XP and setup all my junk.

Anyway it seems everything is fine, for now.

XP may well help you. I've had exponentially fewer computer problems under XP & NTFS than I did with 9x and FAT32. My computer actually functions more or less like a computer *should* work now

I was already on XP, but I was using FAT32 still.

Anyway, I've gone back to work and worked more on tower!

Are you using elements from your Castlevania mod? those candles and a few of the environment textures look familiar

Post by **Tyne** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 12:09 pm

I'm using elements from practically all my mods. CastleVania's backflipping, a modified and upgraded Envenom camera code, sprites from Street Fighter 2 Quake, various sound effects from my mods, etc.

So, yes. :D

I hate to say the same thing over and over, but every new picture keeps showing some truly outstanding work.

Thank you, oh also:

Good news: I got TES4: Oblivion!
Bad news: Like Morrowind I'm completely addicted.

Wow...I remember that fountain too

The water bursts can look really weird depending on what version of the Quake engine you're using.

Nothing yet, I may release a new version but I need to finish tower first among other tweaks / fixes and a few main function upgrades especially concerning angle changes concerning blocking.

Cool! I'll try to do something weird with it.

I just dowloaded this game and it is really cool an addictive. I can't wait for this to be able to play on the DC.

Bit of an update:

Monsters drop money now and it scales according to your level. I'm adding a buying system soon also. Sorry I've been really busy lately and I should of had a new release and a lot more done on TAoV however I kinda took a bit of a break from it for a bit as I felt I needed it but I'm back into working on it now.

Diving Swallow kills a knight, knight drops gold!

Maybe you could do some kind of slot machine system with the coins.

Glad to hear...
