Re: Confusion about game saving
 

Ok, I'm probably doing something wrong, but I tried the following 2-line .bat file (executed from within the Dominions2 directory) and I got "cannot create config file":

set dom2_save=".\test"
dom2 --window --res 1000 725

What did I do wrong? (I created the test directory before running the .bat)

Re: Confusion about game saving
 

Try specifying the complete path like c:\games\dominions2\test or something like that.

Edit: Dominions2 doesn't want the "", I only added those to make the dot clearer. So I think you should do set DOM2_SAVE=./test, unless the set command really requires those "". I seldom use dos. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I havent tested but it looks like the key is saved as a simple text file. Check for the latest file created in that dir. You should be able to copy it to where you need it.

Yeah I tried taking out the quotes before I came here and saw your edit http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif It's working now.

A minor annoyance is that you have to enter the CD key again, but I can live with that.

Thanks for your help.
