I was running lightmaps for a Halo CE level.
Took 9 FUCKING HOURS.
It would have finished in about 5 minutes, when all of a sudden, Windows restarted for NO FUCKING REASON.
I didn't save.
It turned out that Windows Automatic Update had downloaded some fucking updates and installed them even though I told it not to.
Yes, now I KNOW my copy of XP hates me.
FUCK YOU WINDOWS.
FUCK. YOU.
That's actually pretty rough.
Maybe let it run overnight?
This is why I always have Windows Update to check for Updates, but not download them until I say so.
This is what I have set as well but it seems like if I don't download the update with in a certain amount of time, it'll do it anyways.Quote:

Instead of running lightmaps again and wasting time, its MUCH faster to bake them in 3ds max using that tool that was released earlier.
Lmfao. This is why when I'm working on a web design page learning to be OCD with Ctrl+S is a godsend.Quote:

Scrub users itt, iirc.
You hate what you don't understand how to use? If it's set up correctly there is no way it will automatically restart without your permission.Quote:
