I hate it when I lose crap like that.
Worked on a map on Far Cry 2 for 8 hours, and never saved. Then, boom, froze.
What's your mod about?

No I do not!
But do you know how to do LOD at all? I'm completely stumped at it...
I'm working on a new world mod too.

Chalk it up to a learning experience.
I now click the save button everytime I have done a few things. I got tired of loosing my stuff.
About every 5 minutes or so, that way its not so much stuff lost if/when it crashes.

There is an autosave option in the CS - always enable it boys and gals

LOD is not my thing, but you should take a look at some tutorials.

and i sure have learned a valuble lesson! now, about that auto save, how do i turn it on?

now, about that auto save, how do i turn it on?

Preferences > misc > autosave every ___ minutes

You have to create a folder in your data folder named Backup - the CS does not create it on its own and will start throwing errors once you enable autosave (ridiculous)
