Fledgling Fyora Haakon Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hi guys, I've enjoyed playing the Avernum IV demo on my old PC. I'd like to download the game on my new MacBook, and my question is: is there any way I can transfer the saved games and the player files from my old PC, or will I need to "start all over again"? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Save files don't transfer. I'm afraid you'll have to start from scratch. —Alorael, who really wonders why that is. From a totally computer-naive perspective it seems like using the same format would be easier than inventing a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Judging from the problems with converting in game saves from Mac OS 9 to OS X for Blades of Exile, there are differences in the way information is saved in the number of bits used in each operating system for a few pieces of information. These hidden zeroes cause values to change even though the information is stored in the same order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Kor Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 So are you saying that the saves files are the 4 byte file named temp in each sav01 to sav19 folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 The folders themselves are the saves, and if you only have the temp file then they're still emtpy slots. —Alorael, who thinks you must somehow be looking at the wrong folder of folders.
