Damn! Damn! DAMN!
« on: December 17, 2009, 11:28:52 AM »
I just accidentally deleted half of cGirls.cpp and then wrote and closed the file without realising what I'd done.

I can restore from SVN with 6000 lines of code I pretty much have to, but it's a whole day's work down the toilet.

Damn! And Thrice Damn!

Ah, it's not so bad. I can get half of the changes back from the ruined file. The rest ... well I know what the problems are this time, so it will at least be faster.

I've been trying to find some of the child related issues flagged up by the faster pregnancy time allowed by the last lot of config file fixes. Are you still working on those? I was carving away at the pregnancy code, but it occurs to me I might be intruding into your area with that. Perhaps I should leave it and look at something else.

I've been more working on HHH then WM.  The only reason I wanted to overhaul the pregnancy code was due to the save issue, which I think I finally got.

OK then, I'll  recreate the code.

Shouldn't be that bad a job.

Ouch!  I wish I didn't know that feeling.  Kinda reminds me of when I typed in rm -rf * in the wrong terminal of my linux server late one night...

Always save twice.  Preferably once to disk or jump drive.  This I have learned in college.

reminds me when my 15 year old computer died and took my WIP rpg maker game with it. I was doing pretty well on it too... *weeps*

Wouldn't have helped. I was saving every few minutes as I always do.  Trouble was I kit a key combination that deleted from the cursor position to near the end of the file. Then, not noticing this, I saved it so I could compile and test, and overwrote the days work.

The problem was that I did save, you see...

If you're going to spend more than two hours on something, it's always profitable to alternate save locations to at least two versions.  Hence, two saves (granted, one of them is incomplete, but losing half an hour of effort is better than a day's).
