An odd question

Ok, this seems a bit odd, but I have lost all of my minions.

Allow me to explain.

I created a custom faction, and it was too large. This made me sad.

To save size in my published arcs, I created a second custom group with only the lieutenants and higher bad guys. But, I did save the original group to my local disc, and could view all my creations in the mission architect screen.

Then, my computer went kablooey (bad power supply.)

I managed to copy my CoH folder onto a flash drive, then rebuilt the whole thing.

All my local info went away due to the new hard drive.

I copied down the published editions of my arcs, and sure enough, my lieutenants and bosses are back.

I went into the saved copy of the old stuff and copied out the "Custom_Critter' folder, the 'Missions' folder, and the 'CustomVillainGroup' folder, and placed them on my new hard drive in my CoH folder.

I still can't see my minions.

Any thoughts?

I sounds like the minions never made it into the "saved" version of the mission that you pulled off the game servers. I would surmise that they are lost =(
