All I can say is FUUUUUUUCK!! right now. Trying to play a game I haven’t played for over a year ago, and discovered something that makes me want to punch myself in the nuts.
Sorry, let me explain (since there’s literally nothing I can do to quickly restore what settings I had). So yesterday when I was with Red Fox in a private world, he asked me what games I play besides VRChat.
Told him FPS, space, adventure.. that sort of thing. And he asked “what about Elite Dangerous?” Said “I have that game, just haven’t played for a year”. Says he just started a few days ago. Said I would definitely consider playing it with him.
Today, he offered to. Seeing how I never played E:D in VR, I got my old HOTAS dusted off and plugged in. Still works. And after getting my Frontier account re-registered, I was ingame. Added him and a few other friends, and was invited to a private group to fly with them.
And holy FUCK!! I saw my mighty Anaconda (Dragon’s Determination) in VR and was blown away of how BIG the son of a bitch was!
Got in my ship, Sol still exists (the Thargoids haven’t blown up Earth either.. yet). Got clearance from the station and launched, not knowing most of the controls of my HOTAS. Luckily I didn’t hit anything. And this was fucking mind-blowing too of how I actually felt I was controlling a spaceship. I could look behind me in realtime. Moving my head showed panels. DAMN!!
Couldn’t figure out how to raise my landing gear, and as I was getting ready to launch VoiceAttack, I accidentally triggered silent running. Quickly closed out the game as my mother was also talking to me at the same time, and there was so much chaos.
After getting that taken care of, I got VoiceAttack up and… wait, where’s my custom E:D voice profiles?! …No. NO no no!! DON’T TELL ME I FORGOT TO FUCKING SAVE THEM!!! Went to the VoiceAttack Discord server, praying they weren’t on my fucking C drive (when I reinstalled Windows). And…they were. FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU–!!!!
A YEAR OF WORK… GONE!! And I have NO idea how to redo it!!
I did find the person that taught me how to do everything, but s/he doesn’t remember what we did. However I’m going to have to work with them if I want to re-remember how I did the ‘coding’ and stuff.
I.. don’t think it’ll be that hard though, as I did find my old posts saying that I managed to do some basic things (such as setting pips and stuff). I’ll just need time away from
VRChat, but I should be able to do it again.
