PLEASE HELP ME!!

[Wolfexpert79]

i made a HUGE mistake today. i followed this tutorial http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=8323.0 and once i did what it asked me to my game wont even open! why? because it told me to DELETE HALF OF THE GAME'S WATER MATERIAL FILE! now the game won't even open! can somebody please send me a copy of the game's water material file so i can get the game to work again?

sorry for all of the caps btw

Now there is no need for the caps on the title and plese state your problem when you post the poll But Anyway First try going into your bust bin and find the files and restore them if that does not work just Uninstall the game then install the game again it should work again Hope This Helps -Adjazz-

[Wolfexpert79]

it would be easier for somebody just to pm me the water material file from their computer because it's the same for everyone right? and i'm not going to reinstall it because won't i lose all the maps i made and stuff? my parents barely let me download it the first time...

[Jitters]

You won't lose your downloaded stuff! My water files are edited, so I can't send mine.

Also, we can't attach files to PMs I don't think. It would be a download link.


Do you still have the installer?

[Wolfexpert79]

thats ok i can download water files. plus i can't get it from the recycle bin because the tutorial told me to delete what's inside the file not the file itself

[Jitters]

Out of curiosity..what did you delete? I've used the tutorial before and it works fine. the tutorial also tells you to make a copy and save as a different name, it doesn't tell you to actually delete stuff from the original water file,

Here is the coding for you. Read the whole guide next time.

yay my game works again thanks  maybe i will read that tutorial again because from what i read it said don't click save as just save. but i didn't see anything telling me to put the file somewhere else 

[Jitters]

It says right in the first box! " Make a copy of the whole file and paste the copy in there"

You are editing the copy, not the original file.

xD

Pffft I told you in the tutorial to make a COPY of the game's water material file and edit that. Just send me a PM next time and I'll help you.
