I just started working on OGF a couple of months ago and have been working mostly in the initial planning stage of laying out my country Unesia, so I don’t really have much mapped out in yet, though I have started bits and pieces, like a city park in Dexter-Overton, a tourist spot in Dorchester National Park, and a small city in Commonia (Somerset).
Over the past 25 years, I’ve been designing fantasy cityscapes and maps, and as a result, I’ve amassed a lot of original artwork.
Today, I was working feverishly compiling my artwork and images in preparation for my wiki pages and, in the process of doing so, pushed my computer to it’s limits.
In the past seven years my Toshiba Qosmio has seen numerous upgrades, replaced motherboards, and even survived a lightning strike, but resizing a few hundred .jpegs finally caused it to go haywire.
It’s still working (as you can see), but somehow it thinks I want to delete every file I open (NOT a good mind reader :)). So far, deleting the ‘delete’ app from the task manager is working, but I don’t know how long I can make that a routine.
Hopefully, I can afford to buy a new computer in a few months, but until then every day this one still works is a blessing.

Maybe you should have an IT expert (or one of these indian guys who repair electronics in every city center lol) have a look at it. I mean maybe it only needs a small repair or software update, although you said its already 7 years old so getting a new one is the best option I think. About your mapping: the national park looks really detailed, nice work done there. Hope you get your problems fixed (Maybe selling your laptop for the parts like gold, copper etc whatever is in there will get you some extra money to start with.) Greetings -kingfries

Oh man, that sucks. I hope you didn’t lose too many files. :-( Looking forward to seeing your uploads when you’re ready!
