Shaman Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I have lost it when my ntfs partition master file table got corrupted. Tried to recover it but no luck :( and i made a fatal mistake not making a backup :disgust: Just take this harddrive to specialized firm that recovers data and tell em what you are looking for, they'll get it for you. They can recover data in much worse cases. 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaelu Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 the updater will not function temporarily, my domain has expired, and i will reregister it asap. Also i have sad news, there will be no more updates to the model :( I have lost it when my ntfs partition master file table got corrupted. Tried to recover it but no luck :( and i made a fatal mistake not making a backup :disgust: If you wish to recover the data you should not make new partitions and write data on top of the corrupted one. Try to recover them by specialised software. It will be a great lost if your F-15 model perish this way :( . In the future try to have two hard drives. One day you save your incrementals on one drive... the other day you save them on the second one. In between some DVDs, flash drives or even online hosting with one passworded-casualynamed-archive of one backup helps. Also RAID arrays are now quite cheap to make. Whatever the outcome... thanks for your great model Walmis. When you start another one? :D cheers.

walmis Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 thank you people for your support, but it's too late to save it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 There's a way to get your model back out of the LOM, which was posted here in the forums a little while ago. It won't preserve animations, but you should be able to get the model back.

walmis Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 yeah i know, but it's payware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotsx74 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Damn, well thats a shame... Thank you for the model though Walmis. Maybe someone could make a modman or loman zip/rar folder that way he doesn't need to keep the updater for us and then host it at lockonskins or files?? I would but I am not sure on how I would go about doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperKungFu Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 i dunno if this would work but should someone with that payware software convert .lom to .3ds and zip the thing up and send it back to walmis? 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperKungFu Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 well his sig is down at the moment due to server troubles so you have to wait, even if you download the latest installer from lockonfiles or something, you can't update it unless walmis' server is working. I believe that's what walmis meant. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaelu Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I think a more elegant solution would be to ask ED team if one of the modelers have the time to convert back the LOM model that is "alive" now into a max or 3ds model and send you Walmis the output. I think ED still has the posibility to revert from LOM to max 3ds or other formats. I mean, this sould be normal cause, the comunity has posibility just to create new models through the given plugins but not to modify the existing ones. Any chance?

Willy p. Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 If someone would set up an account for walmis so he can get the tool he needs…I’ll kick’in the first 10 bux to help save his project. And that is no BS! That is if no one can help him. 44th_Willy p. 187 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://44thvfw.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EscCtrl Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 If this is simply a matter of money to pay for the software then thats not necessarily a problem - how much would it cost in total? $200? if twenty of us paid $10 each then its sorted and we have a tool to use for the future as well.

Great :thumbup: Only 1 question Walmis...Why don't U make an F-15E Strike Eagle 3D shape after it ? :smilewink: It would B fantastic :thumbup: ps. ...I hope that E.D. is ready with the Eagle A2G capability :doh: :lol: Atop the midnight tarmac, a metal beast awaits.

PythonOne Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 well the C model isn't complete so moving onto the E model now would be a little weird. Plus, didn't you read the top, walmis lost his original File so he can't make any F-15 model for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HungaroJET Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 ...oopsy...yep...i didn't read... ...i read it now ... i hope someone from the DEV. Team will help/convert back the F-15C LOM file ...just 4 Walmis btw...would B nice a published/brought out - a LOM/CMD<-->3DS/MAX/Z3D converting tool (by E.D.)

thesystem Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Well, ED could convert the model maby only for walmis.

SuperKungFu Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 sorry no, i just contacted ED about this and they said they don't have anything that can change .lom format to .3ds. They don't have that reverse technology since they never saw a need for it. Probably because if they wanted to change something, they have the original .3ds format to work with. Therefore, our last hope in recovering this thing is the guy who bought this software http://www.zmodeler2.com/ and see if he can change the .lom format to .3ds and send it to walmis. Hopefully the animations are still intact, but i can't guarantee anything. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
