please help at all if u can.
scoob was workin on my map and had all of the data . even the .max file that he had skinned the model and portaled. and set up everything in, along with aall of the high res bitmaps (which were the only coppy of the bitmaps) and everythign else that pertained to the map in any way in his .data folder. he backed up his tags folder and tried out k00rn';s shaders, which made his ek not work somehow, so he reinstalled without backing up the data folder (mucst not have crossed his mind) and now the folder and everythign in it that he made is gone (deleted the folder inthe uninstall process) he had not made any restore points, even theough that wouldnt help, and had not made a back up disk of hsi computer. the files are also not in the recycle bin. is there any way we can tget the files back, or is it start from square 1 again.. which might i add may never happen unless a tag extracter is made?

Right click the folder and go to "restore previous versions". If your lucky, it might have your files there. Happened to me after I reinstalled hek. I had no idea it was going to nuke every file that didn't come with it.
