I cannot believe I am writing this, as I've spent 9 years creating all the content I use in Trainz. I ran a cleanup (Avast) on my computer the other night, and said cleanup seems to have wiped out all of my files. Nothing in the build folder, I was logged out of the Content Manager, and the game was reset to factory. I tried a Windows restore point from 2 days prior, but unfortunately that doesn't change your files. I tried expensive file recovery software (Wondershare) which recovered a TON of files from the previous build folder; however, when I move the recovered files to the build folder mapped to the game, nothing shows up. Only thing I can come up with is that the recovered files are damaged and unreadable. I've used this cleanup software in the past and this has never happened to me before. Has anyone ever had this happen before, and if so we're you able to recover anything? If I can't recover this work I will likely just quit altogether and I really don't want to do that. I have assets on my last computer from almost exactly 3 years ago, but 3 years of work is still so much work. Plus, if I try to rebuild everything that I've worked on since then, I don't have the KUID numbers from the original assets. I'm hoping someone who knows the mechanics of Trainz would know what to do. I'm about as devastated as one could be about a computer game, haha.
