something ate my mods ?

[Robin Brennan]

First off hi to all CMBB fans, and thanks to everyone whose mods i have enjoyed untill recently ( too many to name)

Anyway back to the point let me run through how i deal with mods etc. Firstly d/l them then put them in a temp directory before installing them using cmmos. Then i put the d/ld zips into a 'safe' backup directory. With me so far ? hope so

This has worked just fine untill recently. I copied all the mods i had onto a CD for my brother ( who has a v flaky intenet connection and has trouble d/ling big files).

I had'nt use CMBB for a while and fired it up last night for a quick WW2 fix. Anyway i thought that the models looked all a bit odd..

So this morning i looked in the mods directory in cmmos and noticed that 90% of the files were 1kb in size and that when i ran CMMOS there were NO installed mods, very wierd.

So in resignation i went back to my'safe' backup zips only to find that they were also 90% of 1 kb in size !! what happened to them ? i am at a complete loss how to explain this.

Can anyone help me at all please.

P.S I deleted all the mods in the cmmos directory before attempting to re-install the 'safe' zips ( probably a large oops)

As I really don't want to d/l weeks worth of fantastic mods I'm hopeing someone can help

Thanks (i hope) in advance

Thanks for the bump Tacitus. I think my imagination was at an all time low when i chose my username .. Sorry you have the same problem let just hope for help. Wierdly some mods seem to have been retained but don't show as mods in CMOS ??? As I havnt got the patience to check every BMP ( lazy at heart ) it's all a bit confusing ..

Cheers
