Error that can cost a mod

Hi everybody,
a month ago, inspired by the awesome D&D mod by count monte and bloodbane, i've started working on a new mod, based on "magic sword" by capcom, so a platformer with rpg elements.

in this month i've ripped, programmed and created soo much work like never before.
i've studied scripts, the story mode system in particolar, and i've applicated it on the mod.

now, in the last days i've had a lot of problems, one of those is that my external hard disk, with this mod on it, is dead.

Now, i usually do backups every night, but, for reasons too long to explain now, a month is passed since my last backup, just when i started working again with openbor, and on this mod mainly.

i've recovered almost all files from the old  hard disk, but many seems to be corrupted.

now, i've managed to clean the mod from all the errors i've encountered, but still, the mod won't work anymore.

i've encountered this error in the log:

Code: 
Assertion `0' failed in function 'loadscreen' at source/gamelib/loadimg.c:900.
This is an OpenBOR bug.  Please report this at [url=http://www.chronocrash.com]www.chronocrash.com[/url].

i suspect is an error due to some corrupted file, but this time i really don't know how to fix it, and i fear that, if i've lost a month of work, i will not have the will to start all over again.

so, if someone can give me any clues, it will be really appreciated. thanks again in advance, you guys are the best and i'm sure some help will come.
 
I think your OpenBOR executable had a virus. It corrupted the app probably. Check your commonly used files for viruses. Use a good antivirus software for that and I recommend partitioning your hard drive so that your documents partition (whether D: or something else) would not get corrupted when C: would die. I do this each time I set up a computer on my own. I don't want to sacrifice all files to a centralized drive.

Also, I just found out where this comes from. The line of code it refers to points to the function to load PCX files. Are you using PCX somehow?

first thing i've done has been change the exe. also, there are no viruses and i only use .GIF files.
 
actually not... mmm, let me trying downloading again from here...

EDIT:
downloaded the exe from here, same error again.  :(
 
It's highly advised to download the OpenBOR binaries here at Chrono Crash where you could be sure of the integrity of the applications.  ;)

Also, is the hard disk a internal hard disk on an enclosure or a 'real' external hard drive?

If it's the first one, check the connections if it's loose. If it's the second one, you're going to need to send it to a repair shop.

Just saying on the last one because I'm covering all bases.

already repaired, it's a brand new external hard disk.

by the way i've downloaded the exe from here, but it gives me the same error again.
 
Check the integrity of your GIF files, primarily by opening it on either a paint program or a gallery program. It's also best to use PNGs instead. It's more flexible than GIFs.

already done, i've eliminated the corrupted ones and tested all the clear ones with photoshop.
 
load only 1 char in models txt , shouldnt be that hard to pinpoint whats the problem.
If with 1 character its still crashing then just replace all required files like loading.gif or logo.gif, select.gif with other ones from other mod.
 
so, after a long and hard work, i've finally recovered all the missing files.
There is a lesson to be learned here: everything brokes up and you must have a backup everyday!  ;D

now i will pause for some time, i have my wedding to plan (and no, it will not be like the red wedding) in 3 weeks!

thanks again everybody for the support!

i will attach some screenshots:
