Transfering user files?

[colin]

Had to do a fresh install on a new harddrive, SB pro PE installed correctly, I tranferred the Esim folder over to my "documents" but the previous user records do not seem to show up in the game? any suggestions

Well the first question is can you give a bit more information, like which Operating System you have???

Depending on the answer to that determines where the files are kept (there are two locations) then you can work out what you copied and what you left behind.

File paths listed here:

Hi Colin,

Have you also taken the files from Documents & Settings/All Users/Application Data/eSim Games/Steel Beasts?

That location (in XP), holds map data and scenario's too.

What files are you missing?

Q

EDIT: Looks like we both hit reply simultaneously!

Windows Vista

I have "Reports" in "Documents/Esim games/Steel Beast" and it shows all of the missions I have done under the name I selected, I will continue to dig using the information you have given me, thanks

You're looking for the %APPDATA% directory (user manual, page 4). You can actually click the Windows start menu, then "Run..." and type in explorer %APPDATA% and it'll open the Windows Explorer just there, irrespective whether it's a hidden directory or not. Then follow the path "eSim Games\Steel Beasts\..."

Found it and it had just Lt default. I added the missing records, but still no joy when i open the game, just Lt default.

If you transferred it from a different Windows installation, chances are that the files have the ownership of an unknown user account. You need to transfer the ownership to your computer's Administrators (for that, you must be an Administrator), and then to your new user account.
