How can I create a folder for saves?

Post by jacare » Sun, 20. Apr 14, 19:03

This may sound crazy, but I want to create 3 folders save, because I will install XRM, Roguey Mod and SCS scripts. I know the original folder is in Documents , but if I copy the entire game in another folder, it will always save in the original folder. Anybody know how to do this?
Thanks

... that´s not possible !!

... the only way to play more than one modification is to (e.g.) use the first five savegame "placeholders" (1-5) for (e.g.) XRM and the other five (6-10) for (e.g.) SCS
// but i never tried it out, i think there could be problems with the hotkeys / game profiles :?

How about creating user accounts on your PC specifically to play the games; just need to log on to whichever version you want to play ie;
account 1 "X3 AP Vanilla"
account 2 "X3 XRM"
account 3 "X3 Roguey Mod"
etc.
Just play each version of the game from a shortcut linked to each account. Each account would have it's own separate documents folder with it's own discrete Egosoft save game folder.
This should work :? (I've been thinking about the same idea).

1940s - Various "computers" are "programmed" using direct wiring and switches. Engineers do this in order to avoid the tabs vs spaces debate.
