moving saved games to another pc

Post by vector »

there i was thinking I was doing well :)
I scp my game file (autosave.zip) from work to home to continue the game
and got a suprise.
the game opened and all looked ok. but when I went to (next week) I got an error. (pop up window)
could not open ....country_eng file in mode r
this was because it was looking for it in the path of my other pc not this one.

the problem lies in autosave_general.xml which is in the autosave.zip.
autosave.zip contains 3 files
extract ..._general.xml and near the top you will see a line like
<_8>/home/user/games/bygfoot/bygfoot17/bygfoot-unstable/support_files/text_files/country_eng</8>
edit it so it now matches that of your current PC
add it back to the zip and away you go.

What type are you?
