killerrj8 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I need help , people ! Yesterday I saved my ESP and then the electricity got turned off for some minutes so my PC shut down. I was like "Okay, I saved it anyway" but now my whole Project is gone :O. I don't know what happened. Can someone PLEASE help me ? I found some backups but don't know how to use them. I can't just change the Name that doesn't do anything :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Unexpected computer shutdowns can indeed cause data loss. You are lucky that you have backups. You were wise to make them. Just find your newest backup .esp and install it just like you would manually install a mod you had downloaded. You drop the .esp in your Data folder and make sure it is checked as active when you go to play-test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghaunadaur Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Your backup file will probably look like myplugin.esp.1.bak, just rename it back to myplugin.esp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerrj8 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yes, thanks. Somehow the newest backup didn't work. It didn't load up at all. So I had to take the one before. But now it works again. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
