transfering a game?
 

I need to know if I can transfer a game I've been playing on my desktop to my laptop. I don't want to strt a new one again... lol I have a savegame, and an empire save. Can it be done? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

All you need are the savegame files. They have the name that you saved the game as. There will be .log, .gam, and .cmb files that you will want to copy over. You might want the text files associated with the game, if you are keeping track of the history or stats files... If you do not mind being unable to play the combat log and/or movement log for the current turn, this is all you need to do. If you want to play the logs, you will need to copy the appropriate files from the SE4\Temp folder on your desktop PC to the SE4\Temp folder on the laptob.

Just copy the appropriate files (.gam, .cmb, possible player stats files) from the /savegame directory to the same directory on your laptop.

The .GAM file is all you really need.

Bring along the other files in the savegame dir with similar prefixes on their names if you want to see the combat replays, and bar graphs and such.

The EMP file means nothing unless you want to start a new game with the same race.

Dump the savegame files into the new savegame folder, and fire 'er up.

copy over the saved game file from your desktop seiv save game folder to your seiv lap top save game file.

Heh, reminds me of a Dom2 MP game. Three people claimed the nation of Jotunheim at the same time on the forum. Luckily, I was first.
