When i came home today i was greeted by a dead hard drive.
if/until i can afford to get the data recovered from the hard drive i have no way to continue developing the updater for eq2map. im not sure how much it costs to recover data from hard drives but i doubt its cheap and the hard drive had a little over 200gb of data on it so it is probably too expensive for me to afford so it looks like .97 is the final version of the updater.
EDIT: i was able to recover the source, now i just have to get a new drive(my warrenty just expired 2 months ago).
