A Little Bit Overzealous? :(

Postby 3dgamer » Sat Mar 14, 2009 7:53 am

Hi there,

Some of you may have read that I have been trying to clean up my resource files before compiling my game. Well, things have been going pretty well except for one thing...it seems that I have deleted the file that holds my Saved Games. :(

I don't know how this could have happened because I was only deleting WAV, JPG and AVI files.

So does anyone know which file contains the Saved Game files? I would like to restore them from a previous back-up I have but don't know where to start.

TIA

In my Documents folder there is a folder called Savegames, and in there I have folders with the different AM Games that contain the saved game data :)

Thanks Mercedes, Lyberodoggy, and Mystery for your responses and info on where the saved games are located.

Well something else has happened other than me deleting the folder because I have now *found* the folder with all the saved games in it, and they are all in tact. However AM doesn't see them. :( Somehow I lost the link from the Load button to the Savegames folder.

Well, I noticed that I had two folders in the Savegames subdirectory with the exact same name except for one of them has the word "The" in front of it. Well I looked inside of the one that didn't contain the word "The" and all my old games were in there. Then I looked in the one that did contain the word "The", and it only had the most recent game that I saved to it. I now remember that I had changed the Title of the game the other day in the Project Properties, adding the word "The" in front of it. This must have changed the linkage path of the savedgames to the new folder.

<Sigh> Sorry for the initial alarm. It's just that I am a bit surprised that AM did not have a warning box alerting you that saved games would be directed to another folder if the Title of the game (rather than the Project Name) was changed. I am actually surprised that there would be such a result for a simple title change but I would think there should at least be an option box asking the user if they would want to create a new savedgames folder or not.

Well, the mystery is over. As always, thanks again for coming to the rescue so quickly. :) Hopefully, without too many more snags, I can get the nanodemo out this weekend.

Have a good one! :)
