did you save the stock file before you tried programming? If so, just reload that?

Also, what exactly did you code?

It would help to know what you did so others don't repeat the error. Explorers have a duty to report uncharted shoals.

Sadly most forums are full of crap like this now, it`s either they come and beg for info then never come back or they say they fucked up get help and dont pass on the help that they got. Thats why I dont come here much any more and any other forum for that matter.
