Resetting stats/medals

[TriRodent]

Is there a way to reset the stats & medals back to zero? I just finished my first run through the caves & now am going to do so again with the Remix option (an AWESOME addition to the game btw. I haven't even gotten past the bandits yet & I'm loving the changes encountered so far).

 

Perhaps an option/idea for Jeff for future games would be to have an "all time" stat page (I really like knowing those #s, I'm a geek that way) & have another one that can be reset at the start of another playthrough.

 

Thanks

If you are playing with a regular download, then deleting or renaming the preference file and reregistering the game will reset the stats and medals. Be sure you have the registration code recorded before doing this.

Thanks for the quick response. I've got the Windows version, do you happen to know where that file is located? I've looked around the various subfolders in the AEFtP directory but can't find it or anything similar to that.

I know the Mac version is in the Library under Preferences. I'm not sure for windows but a search of the hard drive for Preferences should give you a location for the folder.

For windows it is located in the same folder with savefiles

 

For Seven, it is C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\Spiderweb Software\Avernum Saved Games\AvernumSettings.dat

 

For XP, it is supposed to be C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\My Documents\Spiderweb Software\Avernum Saved Games\AvernumSettings.dat

 

For Steam version, I have no clear idea, since settings for different Steam Apps are scatterd everywhere. If you can't find it through the above locations, try search C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\<game name>\SAVE\ and C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\<Username>\<game name>\. My many Steam games savefiles are stored there.

Thanks friedlizard, that was exactly what I was looking for. I had looked at that file in the saved games folder before but it being a "Video CD Movie" type threw me. Once I had the folder show the file extensions the .dat showed up & everything fell into place.

 

Anyway, thanks all for helping me start the new game with a clean slate.
