question about 'savegames' folder with Samhain FM

[acolyte6]

I was playing the fm Samhain on 2 different computers so I tried to transfer the 'savegames' to the laptop to take with me since I progressed a lot on the desktop.

I've done this several times with T2, but I believe I'm missing a file since when I load the saved file into the game another mission takes it's place.

Which file did I miss to transfer?

 

Anyone have that missing file saved? Where I'm in the cavern with the spiders after swimming down and under a tunnel. I got to the crypt, but how do I get out of there? I can't go back after falling down the tunnel/sewer.

Try this:

 

Make sure the TDM versions on your desktop and laptop are the same.

 

On your laptop, download Samhain from w/in TDM, install it, and start it from the beginning. If you already have it installed, select it as the mission you want to play, and TDM will restart with Samhain as your game.

 

Once you're into the mission, save a game with some name other than the one you used on the desktop.

 

Quit the mission and TDM.

 

Find the 'Doom 3/samhain/savegames/' folder. You should see the game you just saved.

 

Put the three files from your desktop saved game into the 'savegames' folder.

 

Start TDM.

 

From the main menu, click on 'Load/Save Game' and you should see your saved game. Load it and all should be well.

 

Hopefully that's all you need to do.

 

Your laptop was starting up the most recent mission you played on it. You can find the name of the most recent mission (or 'current' mission) in the text file 'Doom 3/darkmod/currentfm.txt'.

Acolyte6,

 

Look for a book in the cavern below the hanging skeleton. It provides a hint to the next step in getting out of the crypt.
