The software is designed for backing up game saves to a folder you specify and restoring them if necessary.
Why is this needed? Sometimes game saves get corrupted when the game crashes, or you might just want to save your progress and be able to return to it if something goes wrong — so you simply run the program, save the saves wherever you want, and if needed, restore them back.
It was written for personal use, but maybe someone else will find it useful.
How this creation works:
- The first line with paths and the "Specify path to saves" button — here you specify the path to the game’s own saves (C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SpinTires MudRunner\UserSaves\). If you don’t know the path, just press the "Restore default paths" button
- The second line and the "Specify where to save" button — here you specify your folder where you want to store your saves; from here they will also be restored back to the game
- The "Save" button — saves the game saves to your folder
- The "Load saves" button — restores your saves back to the game
- The checkbox "skip corrupted saves" prevents copying zero-byte or corrupted saves; you can uncheck it if you want corrupted saves to be copied as well
Timer operation:
- To copy saves on a timer, select the desired copy interval (from 1 to 5 minutes) and start it with the ">>>" button
- Stop it with the "X" button
P.S.: Original idea by
STORM.45, but
in his batch file it’s not very convenient to change paths, so if something’s wrong — poke me, preferably not too hard. And if everything’s fine — many thanks to him, preferably huge =)
