Single save on 2 computers?

Post by Defuser »

I'm really enjoying my fighter (lvl 5) and in the coming weeks I'll be working alot of overtime where I sit in a small van, in the dark, but with my laptop. I'd like to be able to continue the gave back and forther between my desktop and my laptop.

Is it as easy as finding the savegame file and copying it back and forth???

Has anyone else done this?

Thanks!

I've done it, going from main Mac computer to my laptop to play it in bed. :) And if I can do it, anyone can. :lol:

Just have to know where your save files are.

If you don't know where your save files are, it is easy to find out. Load the game, and when you get to the main screen (skull on post) click on the ribbon on the bottom that says "Basilisk Games, version....." The address for your files will appear.

Saved game transfer works even on different platforms - I easily moved my saves from Ubuntu to Mac.

Slot 1 = Quick save and so on...

Good to know the saves are cross platform!

Just picked up a Macbook Pro and I am looking forward to playing Book II on both it and my main desktop PC.

The game rocks on MBP!

If you transfer your saves from Windows, it would be better to zip the save first, copy them to Mac, then unzip them on Mac.

Otherwise ASCII files (text one) may be damaged - Windows and Unix use different line ending codes. I don't mean it will happen with EB2 saves, but who knows...

Thanks for the heads up. This is the kinda stuff I need to know!

I've used mac's before educationally, but this is the first one that is *mine* so there's a lot of quirks and odd stuff that I need to learn.

You would not believe the time I had getting Ruby, Rails, MySQL, and a Webserver installed! :twisted:
